The Bay Area Warriors will be having our first workouts this Sunday morning in San Francisco for the 2015 Spring and Summer Season. We will be playing in both NCAA Sanctioned events in April and all three in July as well as some other local tourneys. In the last 10 years we have had 15 players from our program move on the D1 level and many others move on to the D2, D3, NAIA and JuCo levels. We strive to run a program that helps players get better and have fun. See more info on our website. If you are interested please contact me to find out the exact time and location on Sunday.

Excuse me. I need some help here. Just happened to watch CN vs. Notre Dame (Belmont) on Saturday. Good heavens, how does CN lose? Not that NDB is special. They aren't. But CN appears to be loaded with talent. They trotted out a starting lineup featuring a pair of strong posts, 6-1 and 6-3, and three very good guards. Off the bench, well, how about a 6-4 post and more good guards. Geez, CN (the old Ursuline program) looks like the real deal. Unless my radar is defective. Which is entirely possible. Please, some perspective.

Anybody going to see Newman vs HMB? 2 really good programs and it's a double header with girls playing after?
Some entertaining games on schedule for sure.

Keep us updated.

This stage of Norcals are great as many teams have not played each other before. This is true for this Saturday's matchup with host Sierra and Archbishop Riordan.
Frankly, I have never heard of this school, but understand Sierra is a very good team team this year coming in to Saturday night with 29 wins. Can anyone provide some background of this team? How big is their gym? Should fans get there early? Looks like the Crusaders come in as considerable underdogs. Should be a great game!

Just came back from SRV knocking out PG, this was my first time seeing Marquese this year & it was disappointing to say the least. I don't know what goes on off the court but he had such a arrogant attitude... He didn't go even 70% in the first half & then started playing harder in the second half. When the game was over with 2 minutes left he then starts complaining about the refs when he was sent to the bench.... And all this is happening in front of Lorenzo Romar(Look on his face was priceless that night)

It just killed me inside witnessing what happened tonight, because the last time I saw the kid was at Pangos All American camp & he seemed to be a humble player who hustled & killed quietly. Marquese could've had 50 and the Win tonight! He has the type of talent in him, but now the season is over. Hopefully all this arrogance goes away in college and he'll pan out well at UW. We'll see what happens.

SRV took advantage and put on a show tonight, had some tip dunks & wild and 1's. The best teams keep moving on.

Wildcats over Salesian 74-60!

Dougherty Valley will be hosting its Varsity Holiday Tournament December 3-5, 2015. You will get three games against solid competition. If interested, please email me at lexluth7@comcast.net.

Thanks.

6 WCAL teams in action in Playoffs: Serra, SF, Mitty, Bells, Riordan & SHC

Open Division:
SF 22-5 vs BOD 24-4
Serra 23-5 vs Moreau Catholic 23-6

St.,Francis seeded #8 draws the unenviable task of having to play the consensus favorite Bishop O'Dowd. I think the game will be competitive, however BOD will have too much talent for the Lancers to overcome. BOD +10 [60-50]

Serra vs MC looks to be a really good game & should be entertaining. Can MC pull away from the Padres or can Serra keep it close in another nail-biter like the Open win over SF? Serra has played their best the last few games & could be in for a let-down, but I think they'll be up for this one. Serra +4 [56-52]

Division 1:
Bells 17-10 vs Freedom 18-10

On paper looks to be a close game with Bells biggest win coming over SF while Freedom had a narrow 2-point loss to MV.
Freedom may be more than the Bells who tied for 4th in WCAL can handle. Freedom +8 [62-54]

Division II:
Mitty has first round bye.

Division III:
Riordan 17-10 vs Albany 28-2
SHC 16-11 vs Vanden 24-6

Riordan should get by the 28-2 Albany team despite the disparity in records. Riordan has beaten SF, Mitty, Bells & SHC while Albany has lost to the only 2 quality teams on its schedule. The difference will be Riordan's D. Riordan +8 [52-44]

SHC beat Vanden early in the season by 65-57 which may or may not be relavant at this point. SHC has had the tougher schedule and has quality wins over Serra, Bells & Riordan while Vanden's 6 losses were all to the 6 quality teams it faced this season [so not a clutch team so to speak]. Odds are against Vanden as SHP repeats the win. SHC +3 [57-54]

Not a very good Monday for the 49ers.

Frank Gore to sign with the Eagles or Baltimore
Mike Lupati to sign with the ARZ Cardinals

Justin Smith to retire
Patrick Willis to retire

Baalke trying to deny Kaepernick trade rumors.....


******************
The Ravens Torrey Smith due to sign with SF 49ers and they just signed a guy out of football with a criminal record. (again)

Jed, in Cuba, did not know Baalke signed the guy.

We are looking for 1 team to fill out our tournament. We will house players and coaches, many other benefits. Great tournament, packed house, coaches gatherings, Slam Dunk & 3 pt contest at school rally. You can respond here or contact Eric Vollmers at 707-825-2400.

According to the local rag,dating back to last year, Sutter has the 5th longest winning streak in the nation at 27 games. They are vying for a Northern Section 4 Peat. They are off to a 2-0 start with wins over Colfax and a very good Witney squad. They head down to Arizona for a tourney next week.

Hey I was browsing the Socal regional finals and saw the Brea Olinda was division 3? I thought they were a DI team??? Anyone know whats going on in Socal? Thanks in advance

Warriors are spanking Knicks for Curry's bd present, so here's an update during commercial time out .....

Mitty 80 Las Lomas 63
St Joe's 67 Urban 59
St Mary's Berk 64 SHP 52
Cardinal Newman 48 Half Moon Bay 47
Campo 79 Sacred Heart 55

I think most of the board predicted the final four teams would be Stockton, SI, Miramonte & Carondelet and it almost held true. Down the stretch SHC rallied and their strength of schedule got them better when it mattered. Carondelet, probably because of a coaching change to the lessor strength route and it bit them in the end.

It is a great Final Four. I think it also leaves a lot of quality teams in their natural divisions to compete for a title. I would have like to see smb and salesian stay in d4 and maybe Modesto. I think Mitty, Carondelet and Brookside all lost games they should or at least we thought they were going to win, which threw the open seedings off a little bit but we ended with top 4 teams.

48-36 W.C. with 3:25 left in the third.

Final

Final. Congrats to coach Gardere and the girls. Peaking at the right time.

Will the luck of the the Irish play a roll in the rematch on St. Pat's? SMS will be wearing green too.

Any predictions CityBoy? 415 heading to 209.

SHC coach made a run in the second half in the first game. Ram fans say SMS relaxed and allowed the comeback. Irish fans say we finally started playing our game. What will the rematch be?
