That's a great question. Since the early 1990's, the private/parochials have stripped out huge gobs of talent from the publics. It was different in the 1980's. Teams like Harbor, Los Gatos and Burlingame featured rosters with scholarship kids in the same class. In that long-ago era (well before the equity effort was in operation), CCS public schools were a real factor in the NorCal picture. Los Gatos came close to a state crown in the early 1980's; Burlingame won a Division III title in 1988 (the sole CIF girls' state championship by a CCS program). Interestingly, the head coach of that team, Steve Picchi, now coaches at Sequoia. The Cherokees (oops, Ravens) will be a prime challenge to Aptos for the rating of No.1 CCS public program in 2019-20. They return four starters and feature depth beyond that at every position.

Campo played Terra Nova in the NorCal title game in the mid-90s. Natalia Jones (?) was really good for them.

TN also had a 6-4 center (Division I kid) at about the same time. Not sure if she was in the same class as Jones.

Who can name a CCS public with 2 D1 players from the same class?

Not sure about current rosters. If you're talking about the past decade though, the Terra Nova class of 2012 had three. Ivonne Cook Taylor (Texas Tech), Terrilyn Moe (Nevada), and Jazyl Tauala (SJS).

Yes. Forgot about that trio. That's the best example. Good catch.
