Let's take a preliminary gander at a projected 2022 lineup:
Mitty... Pinewood... St. Ignatius... Valley Christian... St. Francis
So who's next? CCS prefers an eight-team Open bracket. The WBAL is way, way down this season. There are very few publics even remotely on a par with the listed five above. Hillsdale of the competitive PAL South is 17-1 but its schedule has not been especially challenging. Palo Alto is 15-1. Its current scenario is very similar to Hillsdale's. So is Evergreen Valley 's resume at 16-1. If those three run the remaining regular season table, they probably will be forced into the Open as a triple public sacrifice. It's never pretty in the CCS Open. The sole benefit for the over-matched publics: A guaranteed slot in an equity division in the NorCal tournament.
