For the first time in memory (admittedly fuzzy), the entire Santa Cruz/Monterey/Salinas area does not have a single girls' team playing for a CCS championship this week. It's a complete shutout. The PAL South has four teams playing for crowns by itself, two in Division II and two more in Division III. All four (Aragon, Hillsdale, Mills and Capuchino) are part of the San Mateo Union High School District. Another team, Burlingame, may receive an at-large NorCal bid Sunday as well, giving the league and district a quintet in that post-season tourney.
A coastal deficit
- Thread starter colhenrylives
- Start date
I would guess the talent is making that commute to Mitty (ala Haley Jones) or those families joined the exodus out of CA.
Or perhaps the PAL South has some pretty decent coaches and players. After years of few players from the PAL moving onto NAIA, D2 and D1 programs, there are numerous current players either committed to those 4 year programs or have received offers.
