Irish won 50-48. Riordan hit a last-second three to narrow the margin of victory.

Coach Barbour played only the seniors in the first quarter and could only muster a field goal that wasn't scored until 1:13 remaining.

With the starters back in, SHC scored 17 in the second and the score was 19-19 at the half.

Irish had a 6-point lead in the third quarter but the game was kept closer than that for the rest of the game.

By my count, SHC was 16 of 18 from the line.

With 16 teams the CIF-SS Open comes under criticism...
.




: : : : : : Thank God for socalhoops where fans, parents, players and
coaches can give their opinions since CIF Governing Committee's could
careless about their opinions! 5 out of the 8 games were decided by 17
or more points. Blow out games. These teams should've never been placed
in the Open because it's unfair to their players/teams because all of
them would've probably made the finals of their own division that they
were in giving their kids an opportunity just like CIF allowed all
others to have.I'll bet if
: : : : : these CIF Committee Members had
their daughter on one of these teams, then they'd be complaining of
unfairness. Plus there is a lot of politicing going on with coaches on
the committee and CIF trying to scrap in a few more dollars into their
coffers at the expense of children, who they could really
: : : : :
careless about. All these teams should be rewarded with at least a State
Berth because they would've gotten one if they stayed in their own
division and since the CIF Committee said that they were the best in
their division. I thought CIF wanted the best to face each other in the
State Playoffs? Evidently, they're being hypocrites this year. Only time
will tell to see what they do. CIF has cheated at least half of these
players/teams from having a chance to earn a ring! Hopefully, CIF does
the right thing and give them all at least a State Berth. CIF by picking
16 teams this year has given many other lesser teams/players a better
opportunity for a Championship. It's just not fair and as a parent I
should have a right to stand up for my child, other children and point
out to others when things aren't fair. I thank socalhoops for the
opportunity no other organization allows because they don't care about
fairness.
: : : : : For weeks and even months all we have heard
here is who belongs in the Open Division. Now you are in and lose you
are upset. Listen to yourself, sound like a spoiled brat who is not
getting their way. "It's not fair". Grow up!
: : : : The first
comment is sad. Just another example of all about winning a ring, not
competing against the best. Just a by product of everyone needs to win.
Sorry folks not everyone can win.
: : : :The first post is
obviously a Kepplel parent. The Open Division is a good idea. Anyone who
loves competition sees the genius of it. It balances the divisions and
it brings the best of Socal together. Enrollment as a tool to divide
divisions is an outdated idea.
: : Actually CIF is like the
youth Soccer League with all these lousy teams getting a trophy. The
only Title worth anything is an Open Title and the only Tourney that
isn't worthless is the Open Title. All the other tourneys are just a
bunch of lower level teams trying to win a lower level Championship.
Much like every other Tourney except the elite bracket of ARizona Nike.
All the other tourneys mean nothing. Might as well get your ring out of a
cracker jack box because it's just worth as much for any 1,2,3,4,5,6
Division title. Those are jokes.
: I dont know why they keep
putting Mark Keppel in the open. They have been blown out every year
they got in. Meanwhile you can't tell me Winward is not playing better
than Serra, Mark Keppel, and possibly St. Anthonys at THIS point in the
season. Anyone who saw the LBP vs Winward game knows Winward is playing
well. End of the day it doesn't matter. They chose who they chose and
we all knew from the beginning there are really only 8 teams who have a
legitimate shot at winning it all.First of all, its "Windward"
not Winward. So you need to get informed about the school. Second of
all, St Anthonys beat Windward head to head by 9 three weeks ago and it
wasn't even that close so you obviously haven't done your research on us
as well. St Anthonys had a six point lead with 5 minutes to go AT
ALEMANY so I'm sure they belong right where they are.

Monte Vista over Amador- This game will be a close battle and possibly OT if Monte Vista is careful. Amador has given them fits over the years with their size, strength and length. Monte Vista is playing very well and are I think there will be a little let down from their huge win over De La Salle but I see them coming out in the 2nd half and taking control of this one. Ruotolo needs to find his way again with his long range shooting, it will open up the inside for Chaffee and company.

San Ramon over De La Salle- I think this game is a toss up and I almost go with the home teams when it's that close. De La Salle has no inside game, so I am thinking Spackman and Polosky should have big nights while Fuca and Smith some dominate at both ends and give the Spartans fits. Romeo and Portis will both have to good games and set up shooters Peters, Ratinho and Macarchuk as well as knock down some big shots to keep this close. I think teams coming off games against Monte Vista are demoralized and I think it will effect them here tonight.

Granada over California- Granada coming off a great team win and they were able to get well balanced scoring when Johnson didn't have one of his best games. I think they continue to ride high on confidence and are able to get another win and should go into NCS riding a 3 game win streak.

Foothill over Livermore- It's Livermore, do I need to explain myself here, I think we are all on the same page.

Campo over Miramonte- Just a few years ago, this was a huge game and battle/rivalry game but how times have changed. Campo won there 1st meeting by 16 points and I think the score should be somewhat similar but I am hoping the Mats play inspired basketball and make a game out of this.

Las Lomas over Alhambra- This is probably going to be a really good game between two teams that can score the basketball but don't play any defense. Las Lomas in a nose dive down at the worst time but could salvage something by winning there next two games and going into NCS on a high note. Alhambra has nothing to play for except pride and those kinds of teams are dangerous, especially at this time of year. Both teams should be in the 80's.

Acalanes over Dougherty- This was a toss up yet again & I am going with the home team here. Dougherty has played well in the 2nd half but they are always flirting with disaster. Acalanes beat Miramonte a few games ago and lost a tough one against Alhambra. If Hewitt can find some help from Harrington and Kinnear, then I think this will go down to the wire. If Dougherty can control the boards and loose balls, they should win going away.

Jesse Freitas Jr. the record setting QB from Serra was found deceased in his car in Petaluma on Tuesday apparently of natural causes. Freitas played at Serra as the QB in '67-'68 along with NFL player Lynn Swann and CFL player Tom Scott in '68 when Serra went 9-1 and was ranked #1 in NorCal. In 1968 Freitas was the MVP of the WCAL.

Freitas enrolled at Stanford but left shortly after where he played and set records at San Diego State.
Drafted in the 6th round of the '74 draft by the San Diego Chargers Freitas Jr. found himself playing behind Dan Fouts from St. Ignatius whom he had competed against in high school. Freitas left the Chargers after his 2nd season ending his career in the NFL.

Jesse Freitas Jr. still holds the following passing records at Serra High School:
* Career passing yards of 3802.
* Most completions 264.
* Most TD's passing 45.
* Most completions in one game 22.
* Most yards in a game, 14/26 - 356 yards vs St. Francis 1968.

De La Salle sweeps San Ramon Valley behind 23 points from Jordan Ratinho and 18 points from Nikhil Peters.

For San Ramon Valley, Christian Fuca had 14 points and Keith Smith had 11 points.

El Cerrito beats St. Joseph 72-61. Sayeed Pridgett had 22 points and Carlos Johnson had 16 points. Duckett had 18 points and Banks had 16 points for St. Joseph

St. Patrick/St. Vincent beats Salesian 66-51. Standley had 18 points for St. Pats. McGhee had 12 points for Salesian.

Folsom 2016 lineman Jonah Williams has picked up offers from Georgia and Vanderbilt. He has taken an earlier visit to Auburn.

The term "national recruit" gets thrown around a lot, but there aren't many . Williams is certainly one of them.

As the regular season is coming to an end and section playoffs starting in a few weeks... What are people's thoughts on who the 8 teams that will be selected for the CCS Open Division? I think 7 of the 8 are pretty much set, but what about the last spot with possibly 4-5 teams that could be that 8th team?

My thoughts.


1) St. Ignatius

2) Pinewood

3) Mitty

4) Eastside College Prep

5) Sacred Heart Cathedral

6) Scotts Valley

7) Palo Alto

8) ? Possibles: St. Francis, Valley Christian, Presentation, Westmoor, Piedmont Hills

SF beat SHC, but has losses against Valley and Pres but play them both again this week, and lost to Westmoor

Valley just beat Westmoor, but lost 3 in a row before that including a blow out loss to Pres where they only scored 16 points last week

Pres beat Westmoor and Scotts Valley earlier this seaosn but that was with Jennings who is no longer with the team. They lost to Piedmont Hills and Branham, split with Valley and beat SF, but play SF again this week

Westmoor has wins over SF and Pres, but just lost to Valley. They played a tough non league schedule and will almost certainly go undefeated in their league

Piedmont Hills beat Pres early this season, but lost to Palo Alto and Los Gatos. They are undefeated in their league with 4 games remaining, but just had a bizarre result of beating a 2-18 WIllow Glen team by just 2 points in Overtime


The next two weeks of league could make a lot of difference in who that last team is.

Score???

McClatchy finished the Metro League undefeated. Gigi Garcia led McClatchy with 20 points. Aliceah Hernandez had 24 points for Sacramento.

Eric Toles had 33 points and Jaaron Stallworth had 20 points for Cosumnes Oaks, which clinched the Capital Valley Conference.

Kai Tease had 24 points for Antelope.

SHC is so hard to figure out
anybody see this one tonite

NEW GIRLS BASKETBALL

TOP 20 OVERALL RANKINGS

Not surprisingly, there were few changes in this week's rankings as
league play is concluding in some CIF sections with several teams
knocking on the door should they pull off upsets in the upcoming
playoffs.

While our rankings don't mirror the seedings of the CIF Southern
Section Open Division, it illustrates the differences between seedings
and rankings where in our methodology results outside of the CIFSS and a
team's overall body of work may allow it to be ranked higher than it is
seeded.

There certainly was no disagreement in the top three seeds with Mater Dei, Long Beach Poly and Chaminade falling into place.

We also have No. 5 seed Sierra Canyon ranked ahead of No. 4 Alemany
based on our assessment of their resume but an argument could be made to
have Alemany higher, so we moved up the Warriors and will see what
happens if both win and they face each other in the second round.

In the bigger picture, it doesn't look anyone outside of those five
teams is going to be in the CIFSS Open Division semifinals so almost all
of those other teams will be bouncing down into CIF divisional playoffs
where several of them will be state contenders, even favorites.
