D2 Girls…. Caruthers v Rancho Bernardo

[kiddman32]

Caruthers is 25-6, ranked #51.

Bernardo is 26-7, ranked #83.

SoS slightly favors Caruthers, 14.4 to 12.9.

I made Caruthers a 6-point fave.

Lindsay Biddle leads the way for Bernardo, 19ppg.

No stats for Caruthers…. except the announcer just said their coach has been there 21 seasons.

 

[kiddman32]

Hmm…. Caruthers Blue Raiders, Rancho Bernardo Broncos.

Yeah, I’m going Raidahs and Broncos for this…

 

[kiddman32]

Anyway…. The Raidahs have won both times they made state finals, the Broncos are on their first appearance.

 

[kiddman32]

Media calls time…. Raidahs lead 8-4.

 

[kiddman32]

End of the quarter…. Raidahs lead 15-8.

 

[kiddman32]

Time out Broncos…. 20-8, the Raidahs are threatening to blast them right out of the water.

6:31 left 2nd.

 

[kiddman32]

26-10…. Another Broncos time out…. Looking very blowout-ish. 3:24 left in the half.

 

[kiddman32]

33-10 at the half…. the Broncos need to sneak Caitlin Clark onto the floor.

 

[kiddman32]

BTW…. Rancho Bernardo has only nine on their roster, and it looks like seven players have suited up.

 

[kiddman32]

It’s almost over…. 49-33, at least the Broncos are showing some kick…

(heh)

 

[kiddman32]

The Raidah’s Almeida has 21 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists.

 

[kiddman32]

Biddle has 19 for the Broncos.

 

[kiddman32]

56-37 final.

Caruthers does the work. They play a good schedule, they travel and they're a perfect example of an area where competitive equity works.

With 697 students, they are D4, or maybe D5 by enrollment. (Remember each section has different enrollment categories. One year Mater Dei, with 2200 students, was D2 in the Southern Section. In a stunning surprise, they won the state title.) But they clearly belong in D2 and would have rolled over Marin Catholic and whoever in D4.

Anna Almeida has done a tremendous job there. We see her at our events every year, and they are tough, well-coached and back down from no one.

Congrats to Caruthers.

Could have done without the press with 10 seconds left and up by 20.
