North looking for its first boys win. PV was underseeded being D3, so it could be good news for local fans
D3: Pleasant Valley vs. Notre Dame
- Thread starter Streak One
- Start date
PV leads 12-7 with 315 left Q1. Vikings are 5-for-7 from the field. Kevin Kremer has been involved in three of the five field goals.
Pleasant Valley leads Notre Dame 18-13. Four players have scored for the Vikings. Schneringer and Rick each have six points for PV
Pleasant Valley leads 24-21 with 409 left in the half. Very good ball and player movement for the Vikings has Notre Dame on its heels
That's how the North wins titles I think. Getting a team underseeded. West Campus on girls side was the same way.
Pleasant Valley leads Notre Dame 32-28 at halftime. Vikings are shooting 48 percent and have assisted on 8 of 14 baskets
Fun game for the D3 title. Pleasant Valley leads 45-41 with 308 left in Q3. Kevin Kremer playing really well on this stage
Isn’t it something similar in SoCal?
I recall Justin Ford/Folsom losing to St. John Bosco featuring Daniel Hamilton and Tyler Dorsey.....Bosco lost in the open sections and went into the D-2 regionals.....after playing MAJOR Heavyweights in the sectionals.
Didn't have competitive equity on state level back then but yes some similarities. Southern Section's goal was to win Open, D1 and D2 and tried to game it that way
PV holding onto a 61-55 lead with 118 left. Vikings have struggled this quarter but have been aided by numerous questionable shots by Notre Dame
Private school so throw the enrollment numbers out the window - check out Sierra Canyon. Technically PV is D2 size from what I've heard.
Pretty quiet now, but should land something this spring. I think he is a solid D2 player.
Streak you can't be more wrong. As for PV boys , they are D3 in the North Section. Irregardless of there size, they have never even won a Nor-Cal title title, and have barely made inroads into the post season in many years. To categorize it as such is ridiculous.
As for your other statement about titles won in the North Section. Any other boys titles won in the North Section has been won by extremely small schools. Colusa in 1990 and Central Valley in 1989.
By the way, please fix the article on the front page of the web site to include Central Valley. It was left out of the P.V. boys article.
Here's wishing you great hoops
Enterprise boys lost in 1998 D3 title game to Luke Walton led University of San Diego, yes I know they didn't win but another example of boys team from northern section that won a northern title. And yeah I have to add this was enrollment based lol
Thank you for the correction on Central Valley being the third team. They won D3 and Colusa won D5.
Onto your other point, the division a team plays in their section has NO bearing anymore with competitive equity. Because D3 in the NS is different than the SJS, NCS, CCS and vice versa. My statement is that I don't think there are 40 better teams in NorCal as the seedings suggest. My point was when a team like PV or West Campus on the girls side is placed in a division that is under their "true talent" it gives NorCal a fighting chance. If this doesn't happen, NorCal will have tough sledding under the current format. That in no way diminishes PV's accomplishment.
