Competitive equity deal is ridiculous. All they really did is make d1 a blood bath. They need to go back to original seeding. I don’t see the benefits at all. Dublin should not be a 7th seed. And Las Lomas would’ve been a state division 2 finalist. Now they can possibly lose in the 2nd round.
This system is absurd, you basically reward a team for mediocrity or underachieving. And everything below d1 is a total joke competition wise. Who thinks up this garbage?
How the hell did De La Salle get a 9 seed. I’m sure the same way they got a 5 seed for NCS. They will lose first round. It’s time to make a change in the office that favors these programs. It’s so obvious Gil Lemon favors De La Salle in any way he can. He’s a joke.
Funny how Jesuit was a 7th seed and lost 2nd round and still got in NorCal D1. Wow they did a terrible job man. This commmitte needs to get out of office. Get some young fresh minds in there. That actually goes out and watches basketball.
Jesuit lost to a section champion in a section that had 4 open teams. That is how they got it. They are a dangerous 14 seed. The entire D1 bracket is crazy. Wide open. I agree anything after open and D1 is so watered down.
I'm assuming most will be at the home gym of the host teams. Dublin, Heritage and Campo all should be at home. Sometimes the home gyms aren't large enough for the expected crowds or the gym doesn't meet CIF criteria and they get moved, but I would think all 3 of those will be at the home gyms. Dublin and Heritage are both big enough gyms for massive crowds.
I got the upset of the Norcals. Oak Ridge #16 will beat #1 Alameda. You've heard it from me. I've seen both teams play a few times and OR is bigger, more talented, and played in a a way better league. They nearly knocked off open Folsom a week ago. How they got it is beyond me but Alameda got a bad straw..
Both teams need to get by their first round games, but that is a marquee 2nd round match up, and promises to be a very entertaining game. Dublin should be favored, but I'm not so sure about it being easy.
I assume the doubleheaders will be boys - girls games - i.e., Heritage, St Joes, Antelope, etc.
Yeah, it does look like boy-girl DH's now... Either they fixed some goof-ups or I misread something before. I though I saw a couple spots where schools had DH listings, but that one of their teams was on the road... Dunno which one that was...
Anyway, now I know where I'll be Wednesday at 6.... GO PILOTS!!

Seems like an even matchup to me. Obviously, Dublin has the height advantage but a good game plan can overcome that deficiency. Dublin won’t win by more than 10. Sometime gamers overcome raw talent,eg; Jordan Ford and Frank Ferrari last night. Smaller, undersized, second thoughts formD1 programs, were killing it in the biggest moments of their teams season’s. I will throw in Austin Pariis to that group. May more too!! I will take a gamer all day, just remind me that If I were a Di coach on signing day!
Forgot, you must get bye a tried a true coach, that will come up with a game plan for Dublin. They better not overlook Serra!! Sure Heritage overlooked Serra at MC tourney
The 8-9 game is just a bad seeding both ways. Paly is better than 8 and DLS isn't as good as 9. We'll see how it actually plays out.
Always funny how the SJS ranked Franklin over Jesuit and then two weeks later, the state ranks Jesuit over Franklin.
Boys side is better than the girls, but still a lot of misteps and it is more about whowas on the right side of the cut line instead of who is the better team

How did Mitty get No. 3 seed??? 11-16 record, 10 point loss to Dublin, Losses to SHC, Riordan and Serra . .
Seeded ahead of Clayton Valley, Berkeley and Dublin #SMH #BS
I feel bad for a small school like Menlo. They would have won CCS D4, made some noise in Norcal D4 and they get put in DI on the road a Clayton Valley.
The seedings are questionable no doubt BUT from Open-D2 you cannot deny that EVERY single game will be competitive and entertaining for the fans of high school basketball! Everyone on the blogs seem to always have the answer to the perfect system but in reality no one on here would do any better on the committee... Let’s enjoy the home stretch of California playoffs and let the kids play it out on the court! Good luck to all the teams involved!! GO NORCAL!!
First round "upsets"
Central over SF. Central is riding a 6 game win streak to a championship and a nice duo in cash williams and cam'Ron wilson. Will be a close game.
Jesuit over mitty. Jesuit by 10+ Nice run for mitty ends vs a team that could have won the wcal.
Franklin over las lomas. I think this is coach manfredi's first trip to the nor cal tournament and no doubt the team will be ready. They have been playing well down the stretch and they play hard. Either franklin wins close or las lomas wins big. I'll take franklin in a close one.

So you are SJS Homer, i have it the exact opposite. All bay teams move on and sac teams go home!
Wow. A ton of whining and crying on here, what a shocker. I really do apologize about all your teams getting screwed, waahhhhhhhh it's not fair! What a joke! How did they choose this team over that team!? I can't believe it! This is ridiculous! How could they screw us like this!? This team is sooooooooooo much better than that team! What were they thinking!? Someone's gotta go!
You know what's a joke? How many teams make norcals in the first place.
Here's an idea, rule #76. No excuses, play like a champion on Wednesday and Friday. Good luck! And looking forward to all the excuses when your teams get bounced!

I agree with most of you on here about the new seeding format and how some teams got screwed but in the end, players must play, coaches must coach and if you really think you can win it all, who cares were you seeded, you still have to win all your games to make it to the finals. When to dust clears, the two best teams will be left standing, so enough crying over where teams got seeded and win, that's the bottom line. I think they did a decent job in there first year and I am hoping things will only get better in years to come.
Actually better off the Bay only given 3 open spots, bcuz then they basically eliminate the next best D-1 representative to win state title!! I totally feel (Las Lomas, Mitty, Heritage, Clayton Valley are better than Folsom & Capital Christian at this point of the season and any of these 4 squads will be an excellent NorCal representative to compete for a state title!!
Shoot I saw Las Lomas a few times on my NFHS live stream, to me they're the odds on favorite, if u don't have great guard play it does not matter that they have no SIZE, they're the matchup problem even without having size, to me only Heritage can match their guard play, but not sure for 4 qtrs??
How is this "ridiculous"?? At this point
Folks not all formulas are in anyway 100% right, there's always going 2 be somebody getting screwed, but isn't this true in life? Now to the basketball aspect, every single team that's made it this far is goin to be very good to elite, so most of these games will be competitive with most likely a few "upsets" if that's what we're goin to call them?? My point here is why whine & complain about "seeding" if any & every game can be a teams last bcuz of how competitive each & every team will be, if u don't agree my statement, and feel the "seeding" is unjustly, just take a look at the SOCAL OPEN DIVISION, u think the teams seeded 6, 7, or 8 are happy to being pulled to that open without basically having an opportunity to compete in their respective divisional state title game??
Las Lomas my favorite to represent D-1 in state?? And I'm from the SJS section, so how do they not get any credit? I kno about them threw these exact threads who give them all kinds of LOVE, so I went back & watched pretty much every sections semi & title games, and they are my favorites...
I too like Las Lomas as team but like most teams, they have a weaknesses and Richie and the Dragons took advantage of it. The Knights are a 3 man wrecking crew and might be as good as anyone around. Robinson, Payne and Prince are all for real and they are triple threat players that cause huge match up problems. Holman is a nice 4th option but is limited, can only shoot threes, doesn't drive, can't create his own shot and if you don't leave him, it's very difficult for him to get his shot off. LL has two players that you really don't even need to guard and if you don't, they still won't shoot the basketball, this is what Richie and the Dragons did and turned the game to a 5 on 4, very smart. #10 off the bench for the Knights played well but was outplayed but #30 for the Dragons.
NCS' comments echo my mine after watching the LL - BOD game in person. One area that I feel that BOD didn't fully exploit to their advantage was interior play / post ups with Gaskin. That's an area that I really feel that LL has no answer for. Also LL is screwed if Devin or Nate get into serious foul trouble.
Yes NScout I watched that game as well, but that coach & that team had the right players that could pull this off, but what other D-1 squad in this division can do what O'Dowd was able to do? Oh and did I 4get to mention that this is BISHOP O'DOWD & this is Lou Ritchie??
Folsom and Capital would beat every team you listed. Right now Sacramento basketball is just better than the Bay Area. I think they put the correct teams in the open division, they just seeded them wrong. They seeded D1 and D2 poorly as well.
