are you kidding me?! I guess St. Cecilia and St. Stephens werent available.
Yes, thats why I asked the question. Riordan is worthy of an Open berth, but will CIF take three teams?
How many State champions in last 3 years? Oh yeah, Mission with win over No. 1 seed SI in NorCal semis (but I get your overall point).

Good Lord i hope the Riordan players/coaches dont read this forum pure cancer to a HS team Know it all dads and multiple arm chair QB's
The two elementary papal powers are in CCS Division II. Both have home-court advantage.
i am pretty sure this the last thing they are on... snap chat, instagram, twitter and facebook keep their fingers occupied.
Maybe, maybe not... Over the last couple years, a few players have actually approached me with: "Hey, aren't you Kiddman32?" Not many, but a few... I was taken aback when it first happened at the Dougherty Valley summer tourney, I think two summers ago.
Oh, and it wasn't Campo players either... Though those guys all know me by now...
St. Stephens is a power? i thought it was St. Brendan's and St. Cecilia's. The only Catholic pipelines to SI since their kids are from Town School and Marin Co.
kids arent on fb or twitter. they are on snap and tik tok. instagram they only do stories so it disappears after a day. this so the stupid stuff they do doesnt come back to bite them later.
"Palo Alto HC (won state a few years ago)
Campo last year ( dont know name)"
Neither one of those programs have won an open championship. SC would have destroyed Campo last season. Masters or no masters.

kids are on twitter... how do you think they are annoucing top 5 schools when it comes to recruiting. how do you think they are connecting with schools and coaches? how are they connecting with their peers and idols... then how do they announce they have entered the transfer portal... i only have twitter so i def see it.
Know your history, Riordan never competed in Open at the time they did compete at Top Level it was just Div.1. at the TOC. Since then they have only competed in Div. III. That was before recent transfers who claim they brought Riordan back to glory days

If I am reading your comment correctly you are saying Riordan only played at a post season tourney at a high level back in the TOC days. That is actually not true. They lost to Mater Dei in the D1 state title game in 1990.
And to add to that I would think in the late 80’s and thru the JKidd days they most likely played D1 during sectionals and Nor Cal. Back in those days teams could petition up to play in a higher division. They were forced to always play as every other team was once they enforced enrollment and made you stick to your division. And then of course we now have the open.
so you are saying the influx of talent hasnt turned things around? you are delusional then. someone put the records up and they havent done much of anything prior to last year.
Hey Steve not sure if I read this right but it's almost like you contradicted yourself.....back in the day, like 1990, D1 was the highest division. So therefore we were playing at the highest level?
Confused, I never said they didn’t play at the highest level. I was responding to the above stating TOC and since they played D3, no they played D1, and as stated above played the D1 state title game.
The pipeline used to be very transparent in City. St. Brendan/St. Cecilia, St. Stephen to S.I. Mission district North Beach, Marina to SH. Excelcior, Epiphany kids to Riordan. Now its blurred. Kids on peninsula went to Serra, now all over. Serra now has a pipeline of Pacific island kids from South City and East Palo Alto for football.
I get what you mean. But Palo Alto beat Mater Dei so that counts. I consider anything above D3 as legit. Obviously Open is creme de la creme.
Actually, there are many WCAL players (Monroe, Clark, Burris, just to name a few) on Twitter, only cause Ethan Kassel has tagged them in and Ive had to remove when replying....
How about Presidio Middle School where a shooting a half court shot is almost an NBA 3.
I remember watching a kid getting checked into the stands behind the west basket in the late 60's.

If I remember right wasn't the small area above the south basket called The Epiphany Skybox ? Great memories !
SHC and SI win in D3
Mitty and Bellarmine meet in CCS Open Final. Would it be the third time in the finals?
Consolation games are hard to peg but I’ll go with Menlo and Riordan.
My question for coaches on here: would you rather play a consolation game or have the long layoff like NCS?
Also on that side of The City what about St. Monica ? It made Epiphany look like Chase.
I think its a east-west arrangement. Yes, those seats were amazingly cramped. The team bench areas cut into the wall. Great CYO venue.
Yeah, I can't remember how many times our team's shots were blocked by St. Monica's ceiling....lol!
