Hat tip to the Committee for deviating from Max Preps rankings. We've got an all-Private Open and and all-Public D1 and D2. The real beneficiaries here are the WBAL private schools that aren't Open-bound. ND San Jose is the #1 seed in D3. Menlo gets #1 in D4 and Casty #1 in D5.






 
One thing that rankings/seedings are almost always bad at is accounting for injury.

When SHC was at full strength, they beat Riordan (seeded #4 in open) and St. Francis (seeded #6). They also beat Cardinal Newman, who is 24-3. Those are all "high quality" wins that boosted their ranking/rating ahead of other CCS teams. When the injury bug bit, SHC fell on hard times.

I don't know what the status of the injured players is. Hopefully they'll be back for the playoffs.
 
Interested to see the Priory v St Francis (3v6) game tonight. Was a close one when they played at WCJ. Lancers will have to hit the glass hard, but have shooters that Priory bigs will have to cover.

Was even closer this time. St. Francis led by nine early in the third quarter. Priory put on a press, and the Lancers didn't have an answer. Priory went up by 9 with three minutes to go but the Lancers came storming back behind Maia Jimenez. She tied the game with a couple of free throws with 15 seconds left. Nice set piece by Priory put them ahead and SF couldn't get their last chance to go. Final was 45-42.

Meanwhile, Pinewood thumped Sacred Heart 71-39. The Panthers led by 30 at the half and coasted home. Jo Ding had a big game for Pinewood with 29.

Riordan topped SI 49-45 and Mitty crushed Valley Christian for the third time this year.

Next games are on Monday.

Yes, the Pinewood game was a thumping. We headed to the Priory v. St. Francis game after and that was a thriller. You summarize the game well. Priory’s press turned it around and Sheng hit some huge 3’s as part of the Priory come back. Then yes Jiminez led the St. Francis come back and it all came down to the final possessions. That set play that put Priory ahead by 2 was masterful.
