CCS public schools

Or no Ava Williams 1st game and there the 2nd. Also not there vs Aragon. I think she is behind only Mitty’s big 3 in WCAL.

That would definitely be a big factor! I don't know about a 40 point factor but a big one.

Now we know the answer to the original question: Zero.

Because this section is so utterly and completely dominated by private/parochials (the WCAL and the WBAL are probably the two best overall girls' basketball leagues in NorCal), the attention paid to the publics at the regional and Bay Area levels is minimal. And, after all, no CCS public has won a CIF hoops crown in 30 years (Burlingame 1988 is the sole CCS public ever to achieve that feat by the way). Since this section has an Open Division bracket, it's common for seven slots to be taken by private/parochials, leaving one spot (sometimes two) for a public, a sort of sacrificial taxpayer-supported lamb if you will. For the sake of the often-anonymous CCS publics who labor in the long shadow of the powerhouse private/parochials, here's a purely speculative and arguable public top ten as league play commences this month _ feel free to debate their merits:

South San Francisco played 5 of the teams above and beat all 5. M-A, Aragon, Carlmont, Mills and Palo Alto. Nice to see PAL highly represented.
