I agree. Bradshaw Christian just lost tonight's game to Pleasant Valley of Chico, 63-13. Not sure why BC chose to register for this tournament. Not a good morale booster to start the season.
Agree! I think coaches Ota and Ngo has always stressed teamwork over individual stars. Their depth for the past five years is what has got them into the post season playoffs.
I predicted McClatchy would be very strong again this year, despite the fact they lost their top 2 Division 1 girls. I agree with both of you in the fact there seem to have lots more depth this year than last. Coaches stress teamwork and defensive pressure. They are not just dependent on one or two girls, and are getting great contributions from 1 thru 10 on their roster. After watching the games vs Woodcreek and then vs Folsom though, they were almost entirely 2 different teams offensively. Against Woodcreek, they struggled to shoot from the perimeter and free throw line, and almost gave up the game. But against Folsom, they shot incredibly and made 12 3s as a team with Beatty hitting an unbelievable 5 of them and getting 3s from 7 different players. Instead, Folsom really struggled with their shooting from the perimeter and especially free throws which was why the game broke open in the 2nd half. I would love to see these teams match up again in the Section playoffs.
