Absolutely dominant and impressive by Riordan. Won all 14 league games by an average of 25.2 pts. Only one game (vs Mitty) with a win in single digits. They were locked in! Its winning time now. One trophy down. Three to go.
CCS Tournament Brackets Posted
Archbishop Riordan #1 Seed in the OPEN Division, travels to Bellarmine on Friday at 7 PM, travels to Sacred Heart Prep (Atherton) on Monday at 7 PM, hosts Serra on Wednesday at 7 PM.
Archbishop Riordan Girls will host Saint Francis on Wednesday at 5:30 PM, before the Serra vs. Riordan Boys game.
My guess is Riordan is being penalized for Inderkum leaving it's Bench and creating a brawl. I have no idea if it includes players being unable to play, also. This Penalty was never announced by anyone. It is not on the CIF Web Site, and I can not see any mention of it on the CCS Web Site.

So stats just to confirm it says online that Riordan travels to Bellarmine and SHP. I assume that’s a total error
Possible ongoing penalties from last year's fight? Will any players be suspended, too?
Yeah didn’t look right although I believe one year higher seeds were hosting in a certain bracket if I recall. But this doesn’t make any sense. They probably have options to pick when filling the bracket and somebody dropped the ball.
I heard at last night's Riordan game it is the continued CIF sanction from the Inderkum incident last year. Not sure if any players are suspended, and the one that started it graduated. Rencher and Tshamala are the returning players that sat out last year.

If I recall, a Riordan player started the fight. I doubt they are being penalized for something that just involved Inderkum. It was an ugly incident.
From what I remember, it was a Riordan player that shoved an opponent from behind after a whistle had stopped play.
I believe it was that Inderkum player who then threw the biggest punch in the fight…
But whatever, to me the real problem was the fans that jumped the rail and joined in, so far as I could see practically all from the Inderkum side.
Anyway, I thought any player punishments had already been served at the start of the season…. I could be wrong, tho…
I have heard that at least the worst offenders of the Inderkum fans have been taken care of…. and/or their kids were seniors and they weren’t coming back anyway.
I would be surprised, however, if this road-trip for Riordan was part of any punishment…. Once again, I could be wrong…

Kudos to Riordan’s administration for hosting prospective 8th graders and their families with dinner and the game last night! There was also an Alumni tailgate too! The Forum was sold out with scores of people lined up outside.
Courtesy Mercury News: “The team that finishes first in the pool advances to the championship game. Last season, No. 2 Archbishop Riordan, No. 3 Sacred Heart Prep and No. 7 Sacred Heart Cathedral tied for first in Pool B, each with 2-1 records. SHC advanced because the teams it beat added up to the fewest seed points (No. 2 Riordan and No. 6 Menlo-Atherton = 8 seed points). Riordan beat No. 3 SHP and No. 6 M-A for nine seed points. SHP beat No. 6 M-A and No. 7 SHC for 13 seed points. SHC went on to defeat Serra in the final.”
I get that fight was ugly, but why are we punishing a completely different team?
Riordan fought tooth and nail to run through the WCAL and their reward….2 road games?
I think Riordan and SHP win those first games.
I know they haven’t lost in awhile, but SHP is very hot right now. That’s a really tough 2nd round matchup at Riordan, at SHP that’s a coin toss IMO.
That instantly puts Riordan in a position where a SHP win over Bellarmine gives them the spot over Riordan as they would then finish 3-0.
IMO that Riordan @SHP game could decide Pool A.

SHP plays at Serra tomorrow night. The Padres already beat the Gators and Riordan swept the season series against Serra - both in double digit victories. The Jungle is a very tough place to play for any visiting team. The Crusaders know what to expect at SHP as they beat them in Atherton a few seasons ago in the Open pool play with the Gators heavily favored in that one. Riordan gets Serra at home to finish pool play.
SHP could actually lose to Serra in first game, then win the next two and still get in over Riordan
2 players are on the team still. so it isnt completely different. and that is not how punishments work. ever.

Really doesnt matter where they play these CCS games. They can play on the white man cant jump court and they would wax the other team.
Riordan has played very good teams that run the same type of offense as SHP - SI, Serra, Mitty (twice each), SRV and Clovis North. SHP played in the Crusader Classic and beat Granada by 1 in December, but lost to University. This Crusader team is very different than the one in December.
I understand the penalty is just putting Riordan on the road the first 2 games of Pool play. No player suspensions as the one who started it with the uncalled for shove, graduated.
that part i agree with. not even the golden state warriors can beat #THE R
of course not. The R are spending heavily into the 2nd apron. Brian Windhorst would deem any titles this year as "checkbook championships" lol
This Is the new Reardon way with #NewAttutude & NewApproach
It is not JUST on the field of court.

I would favor SHP if they indeed jump into the pool for water polo, or competed against Riordan in golf, tennis or lacrosse.... Basketball not so much at least this year but if the game is tight down the stretch you never know. Maybe the SHP coach will show his team the tape from the University game as a blueprint on how to beat the Crusaders.
He is referring to Tim Reardon, who is the President of Riordan and former head basketball coach at S.I. As a note he has been there for quite some time. I want to say he was there when the previous coach was sent packing.

SHP put up a decent fight. Was impressed with R pride and poise. Maybe playing in bucolic setting of Atherton the City kids brought their manners and etiquette . Which is a mandatory class for all freshman at the Prep. Only one T called against them. Their man to man D was pretty darn good. To bad Serra has to play them at home.
Good luck to them in State. Hope they rep the WCAL well

Since their loss to Branson on 12/8…….Riordan is 19-1 with wins over Clovis North, Bishop Gorman, Centennial amongst all their WCAL wins
Average margin of victory in those 19 wins is 21.2
Average margin of victory in those 19 wins is 21.2
