Don Nelson Classic Bracket (Dublin HS)
- Thread starter Streak One
- Start date
Placer beat Foothill-Palo Cedro 55-44 and Dublin beat Castro Valley 80-51 to set up a Placer-Dublin finals
That’s a big test for Placer but seeing a team as talented as Dublin will help them as they go into league. Likely this will be the hardest game of year.
How are you LL thanks for the skimmy on Dublin.I just heard this morning that Placer has been road warriors so far this season with their 11 wins,the Earle Crabbe Gym at Placer has been having a little face lift on the outside not so much on the inside and everyone is anticipating all construction will be complete by the 27th to hold the very long standing annual Kendall Arnett Tournament……i hear this Hillmen squad has a little bite to them and shouldn’t be taken lightly,not overly athletic but what they do they do fairly well….and if this Dublin team is as good as you and Kiddman say and it appears they are then this would be a very good test for our lil strawchewers and we locals anxiously await tonights Championship showdown,i’m hoping KAHI 950 in Auburn will be bringing us play by play.BTW,being a former Bishop O’Dowd Dragon in the early 70’s before moving to Auburn and Placer High i was pleased to hear that the Hillmen knocked off what appears to be a good California team opening night of this Don Nelson tournament,a Cal team that took the Dragons of BOD to the wire before losing as i know that for years O’Dowd is always a force in Bay Area Basketball,thanks to you,Streak and Kiddman for info….i will be attending The Kendall to get a glimpse of our Hillmen as they play their first home game this year…attending a basketball game at the Earl Crabbe Gym is like being in attendance in the infamous “Hoosier’s” movie,it’s pretty awsome,thanks again! Go Placer

Doing well. Thx! I think Placer, Lincoln, and Pondo will have some really good league games and the new school over in Roseville (west park) is much improved. Oakmont fell off big time with 2 major transfers out. The big kid went to Whitney and the PG is at Jesuit. Placer looks to be be the team to beat! Glad to hear the gym will be back soon. Amazing place!
