Phenomenal block / hustle play by Adzich to force OT -- http://player.tout.com/tout/9qvdxd

Inevitable. Upsets typically happen in regulation. Extra time gives the better team a chance to regroup.

Holy crap, just read this thread with no clue what the outcome was... that was thrilling LOL... sounds like St. Francis was very lucky to survive, reminds me of Mitty in the first found of the open in 2013, they were a missed shot at the buzzer away from being out in the 1st round...

Except in this Section, unlike others, they would have received a Mulligan and still moved on to NorCals. Other top seeds in other sections, like Windsor saw their season come to an end after their loss. Such is life in the Open in the CCS....

I can NOT wait for game 3 of M-A vs Half Moon Bay Friday Night! Will tickets be presold? Will it be SRO? Will there be a ceremony, should M-A win and hang a banner up? Oh wait.....these games don't count. They're like the Foundation games. I guess either school could hang up a 2015-2016 CCS Consolation Championship banner at their respective gyms, along with whoever the CCS Division 1 winner will be with an asterisk*** since they will have run roughshod over noooooooobody. Go Open Division consolation games! Go Division 1, which will be a total misrepresentation of who really is the top team in that Division! Just a bunch of fugazis or frauds in D1, so everyone has a chance for a banner and early congrats on the day after write up you'll get in the Merc coach!
