North / South State Bowl Games Tally
Cal, I had a feeling you would jump on this.. . Palma went from 3-2 to 0-5. With 2 games there were going to be under dogs (Salinas and Soquel) and 2 "toss Ups" Aptos & Hollister. They had to win 3 of their last 5. From that point on they went 8-2 (losing to Salinas and Soquel) Beating their... -

North / South State Bowl Games Tally
Congratulations to both Soquel and Palma. Way to represent the PCAL!!! Soquel- Played consistently great football all season, and once the transfers became eligible, they were unstoppable. Palma- Was 0-5 (due to forfeits) but was able to right the ship. And play their best football at the... -

PCAL Championship Week!
@mrclarkinc you are right about the matchup on the outside. Alisal does not have a guy that cover him. But let’s be honest, dude has a DI scholarship, nobody in the PCAL has a guy to match him one on one. Defense will need to play together to stop him. Alisal needs to control the tempo, they... -

PCAL Championship Week!
PCAL Championship Week PCAL will have the DIII Champion, and will be the favorite in DII. It would have been nice to have a rep (Greenfield or North Salinas?) in DV for a chance in that section as well, but we know the CCS playoffs division placements can get odd. The worst we can do is to... -

PCAL- Playoffs Week 2
No A teams in DV is great, the downside is DIV will become the MT Hamilton championship bracket. (Its funny if you know the Mt Hamilton league) I still think you need a path to put a good a B champ in DII. Programs like; Carmel, Half Moon Bay, Menlo (Maybe not anymore with the merger) and... -

PCAL- Playoffs Week 2
A largest % of teams fall in B leagues. Some maybe very good in a given year, those teams should be considered to be moved up to DII. That why I was ok with this Carmel team playing in DII. Similar to the undefeated Santa Cruz team a few years ago. I get the argument that they were not that... -

PCAL- Playoffs Week 2
PCAL Playoffs week 2- PCAL did well for the most part last week. We are at least guaranteed some championship appearances in DII and DIII! Biggest Surprise- Monterey- The “good” Monterey team showed up n the 2nd half and were able to take care of a strong SHP. Now we should get a really... -

PCAL Playoffs and Season recap
@thehookup55 I agree with what you said about Soquel, not my intent at all to discredit them. Their defense forced some of those mistakes and had the goal line stand. They are really good on both sides of the balls. I knew Carmel would not be able to stop them, it had to be a shoot out for... -

PCAL Playoffs and Season recap
@WOW Freddy, you nailed the Palma pick!!!! 😂 Scott's Valley and Alisal did the PCAL proud last night, now one of them will get to the DIII finals. And I am not sure what got into Palma, I picked them to lose a close a game, but they destroyed Hollister. hope they can repeat it next week vs... -

PCAL Playoffs and Season recap
Soquel was the better team, we all knew that going in. Game was much closer than the 35-14 final score. Carmel's offense was able to move the ball, they just made way to many mistakes. They had the ball inside the redone 3 times with out scoring any points. 2 Turnovers and goal line stand... -

PCAL Playoffs and Season recap
I know Soquel is good, I got flack for "overlooking" them in the beginning of the season, then I got flack for picking them to beat Palma. This Carmel offense is really good. Monterey (maybe Los Gatos) is the only offense that Soquel has seen with this much speed. And the difference with... -

PCAL Playoffs and Season recap
PCAL PLAYOFFS As a whole the PCAL did not fair well in their playoff seedings. Instead of playing in Divisions II-V, all PCAL teams were placed in DI-DIV. And most did not get favorable seeds. As only 3 of the 11 qualifying teams earned a home game. And 2 of those are hosting other PCAL teams... -

PCAL Week 11
Great Recap Cal. Upsets do happen, and maybe we just pay more attention when it is a rivalry. 🤷♂️ I had heard about the Santa Cruz forfeit, It is a shame, that program was doing really well the past few years. Truly it does not matter where this Carmel team plays. While great offensively... -

PCAL Week 11 – Final week of regular season Last week 10-2 Overall 98-32 Gabilan- This is what we know: Salinas is in, Soquel is in, Monterey is in. Either Palma, Hollister or Alvarez will make the playoffs as the 4th seed. Aptos needs to win and some help... -

Did CCS get some of the seedings wrong?
If I recall, the reason the switch was that CCS could only advance winners of divisions forward. In the "old" system 2 runner-ups were advanced as well as the 3 champions, while the (division) IV and V champs just stayed home. In 2016 a 10-0 Carmel team was placed in DV and ranked #1... -

Did CCS get some of the seedings wrong?
If it was not PG, I would not put it past Carmel coaching staff to give some younger kids an opportunity to compete. Maybe "slow" the game down a little. But not vs PG. There is no way that they will let off the gas until the very end of the game. -

PCAL Week 10
I rushed through this weeks predications as I was busy at work and wanted to get it out before the game last night. Great win by Alisal last night, even though I did pick North Salinas. I agree Cal 14, I am probably taking Alisal in a rematch with Carmel. I am hoping North Salinas still... -

PCAL Week 10
Week 10 (the work got in the way preview, so it is brief) Last week 8-4 Overall 94-34 Gabilan By my math Salinas are Soquel are in. Monterey will clinch if it beats Alvarez, The front runner for #4 is Palma. But no guarantee as it still has to play Salinas and Alvarez. Aptos still has a...
