D3: West Campus vs. Sunny Hills
- Thread starter Streak One
- Start date
West Campus leads Sunny Hills 26-4 end Q1. Kiara Jefferson has 8 points. Nia Johnson has 9 points and 4 rebounds
West Campus leads Sunny Hills 47-27 at halftime. All time scoring record is 89 points by St. Mary's-Stockton in 2010.
Wow, looks like great possibility of back to back State championships for West Campus! Pretty awesome for this small Sac City school!
I wonder if the Johnson sisters hadn't of left Antelope and transferred there, would this have happened? Kiara Jefferson is a very very very good player, I can't wait to see how she does at UCLA. I think her game will fit very well at the college level and she will be a contributor right away. Not sure she can be as good as Jordan Canada, but she definitively has the potential. Both have a lot of similarities coming out of high school.

That is a pretty big stretch. Canada was the cog for the SoCal Open Division champs her senior year and dominated at pretty high prep levels. Jefferson hasn't done that. Kiara flashes a pretty high skill level, but it is inconsistent. Playing at that high level more often will determine how she does at UCLA
West Campus wins its second state title with a 75-47 win over Sunny Hills. The Warriors dominated from the opening tip
I think Kiara's game will actually translate more at the next level. Crazy athleticism and speed. Has all the tools. She has been very unselfish player in high school. I think if she wanted to, she could have averaged 25+ a game. Of course in the Pac12, the guard play is outstanding, so we will see how she develops. I am very much looking forward to see her play at UCLA and follow her career.
Congrats to a very talented West Campus team. But everybody predicted this would happen. West Campus should have been no lower than a D2 team, and possibly a D1.
2 d1 returners
Back to back section champs
defending state champs
complete whiff by selection commitee
they were a D1 level caliber team without a doubt as they were probably deserving of a 7/8 seed in D1
maybe the most fraudelent basketball state championship in the history of the state.
Its like puting a good 8th grade AAU team
into a 5th grade AAU tourny. Sure you won the championship but what did u actually accomplish???
WC gets a banner though and no one will remember the ridiculousness of the seeding in 10yrs. So ultimately WC gets the last laugh.

I think that is a high seed for West Campus. That would mean they were a Top 20 team in NorCal and I don't think many complained when we didn't have them in the mix. I had them as a Division II team.
This is how I think the committee looked at it: West Campus lost to all the good teams they played except McClatchy. They are D4 in their section but won state last year so lets move them up to D3
There is a LOT wrong with that line of thinking, but its how I think it went down

If west Campus had been a 2 seed behind PV in D2 I would have been OK with that.
and the D3 D4 etc designation is no longer applicable...as comp equity seeding has changed the meaning
"Most fraudulent"? Maybe, but what about Pinewood and Eastside playing D5? That wasn't exactly a level playing field either.
There's no system that really works ... this one needs tweaks, no question, but I still like West Campus in D4 better than Eastside in D5.

PV should have been in D1 also so i spot behind them puts them at a 10 or so in D1
Level playing v. fraudulent are two different things. Eastside in D5 not level for sure but West Campus with a win over CKM and dropping to a division 3 5 seed? CKM did not qualify for the state playoffs and lost to WC and still gets seeded two divisions higher? That is fraudulent, agree with the Guru on that one.
It's certainly bad seeding ... one hopes that experience will make the placement of teams and the seeding more consistent. West Campus and Woodside Priory both did well because their records did not reflect their level of play, and the committee was unable to figure that out.
Why is Eastside Prep in D5 not level? Is it because they have a good coach or girls that work head and buy into his system? What are they doing that could not be replicated by any other D5 school? My opinion is that at the D5 level, there is probably more equality than any other division as they are all private school, thereby playing by the same rules.
Emery, Clear Lake, Cloverdale, Hoopa Valley are not a private schools, just to name a few. And private schools don't really play by the same rules because some give athletic scholarships and some do not, and some take sports seriously and some do not.
I don't think you can say Hoopa Valley and Pinewood are starting at the same spot ...

Not level in terms of them being a competitive anomaly for that division. I am not saying they should not be there I am simply saying they are way better than 95% of others in that enrollment level.
