Greetings from Loomis!

That’s the home of Del Oro HS, where they’ll be facing the Folsom Bulldogs…

Nice nearly-new gym, unfortunately with quite a few of the 1900 seats bashed up by overzealous fans, I suppose…. Those plastic seast must have seemed like a good idea at the time…

Anyway, the boys JV game is ongoing, 7-6 Del Oro early.. a Golden Eagles win would be quite an upset…

Next game will be the girls varsity, then the boys varsity follows that.

Time ran out in Chico

Tuesday night at PV’s Varley gym. with the shot clock at zero and the game clock just under one second, a Whitney player had just received a pass under his basket. Not one of the three officials were looking at the shot clock, or you would hope that a whistle would blow to stop play and most likely send the game to overtime. But instead, the Whitney player caught the ball, jumped up, and made a one-footer…all after the shot clock hit zero…but before the end of the game buzzer sounded. A game that may have had a different ending in overtime, ended on a what if, and ended PV’s season in a way that will be tough to swallow for many players, families, and fans.

First Round Upset Watch

Looking at tonight's schedule, what seeding upsets do you see happening?
