Looks like a very private affair
6 Teams from WCAL (Mitty, St. Francis, Riordan, SI, Valley Christian & Sacred Heart Cathedral)
2 Teams from WBAL (Pinewood & Priory)
Los Gatos is gaining on the pack according to Max Preps, having won nine in a row. SHC has lost six straight and seven of eight. If Los Gatos keeps winning and SHC drops a couple more games, the Wildcats may sneak in as the 8-seed. That wouldn't be crazy given that Los Gatos was very competitive in losses to Priory and Riordan. But I'm sure they'd prefer to be in D1.
If it is the eight private schools, there's an interesting question about how to seed/divide them into pools. Right now, Priory is ranked third in the group, just ahead of SF (who it beat) and Riordan. That might change as the season winds down. But if Priory is seeded third, it would have to play Pinewood for the third time. Plus, four WCAL teams in the other pool would all have to face each other for a third time. I guess that's okay, but I suspect most teams would prefer a bit of variety.
As a fan, I'd suggest Mitty (1) Pinewood (2) SF/Riordan (3) Priory (4) Riordan/SF (5) SI (6) Valley (7) and SHC (8). Pool A: Mitty/Priory/SF/SHC Pool B: Pinewood/Riordan/SI/Valley
Again, all subject to change in the final two weeks of league play.
