CCS public gals are now one-for-six in CIF final games, beginning in 1981. Their only title came 37 years ago in 1988 during the Reagan Administration by Burlingame in DIII. The drought has reached a truly stunning level. The main reason: Two strong private/parochial leagues, the WBAL and the WCAL, are fiercely competitive and continue to vacuum up most of the available talent in the section, if not beyond (hello, Riordan and Mitty). The outlook for the CCS publics, even with the CIF's fixation on competitive balance, remains dim.

By the way, it's worth reminding folks that Half Moon Bay finished 15-1 at home and 8-7 on the road. They were a third-place finisher in the PAL Bay (A) Division, did not win a non-league tourney and did not play for a CCS championship. They were an at-large selection by the NorCal committee, received a surprising No.2 seed in DIV NorCals and went 4-0 at home during those playoffs. The cards were dealt nicely for them throughout _ until today in Sacramento. Falling behind 10-0 at the outset set the tone. They could never get back to a tie, let alone a lead. It leaves CCS public observers wondering: If HMB can't nail a CIF title with everything it had going for it, who can?

The last Girls North Section title was when Modoc, in 1998, beat Mission Prep, 64- 52 at Arco Arena

Here's wishing you great hoops

The CCS is just a different animal compared to the other sections. The privates just dominate everything. Not sure what can be done to help the publics. Probably nothing

The other sections in the North dont have this private discrepancy. In fact recently the best teams have been the publics.


Girls:
SJS...Folsom CKM
North.. Pleasant Valley, Colfax
NCS..SRV, Acalanes
CS ..CW, Clovis, Carruthers
