Cal Hi Sports reports it appears that St. Joesph of Santa Maria will be in Northern California Open.

From Cal Hi Sports:
Riordan fans and others in the Bay Area also may have to check their maps about getting to Santa Maria since this is increasingly looking like a season in which the CIF will be putting St. Joseph in the north and as the top seed (with home games) for the NorCal bracket of the Open Division.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CCS-1 Winner of CCS Open
SJS-2 Winner/Loser should get invite
NCS-2/3 Winner/Loser and Dela Salle or Salesian if they lose a close game.
CS- 2 Winner/Loser Clovis North is defending D1 champion. St. Joesph looks like the favorite in CS again this year.

Three weeks of intense play is shaping up to the Playoffs.



Generally, only 5 or 6 teams make the cut, perhaps this is a year that will have 7 or 8 invited.

Same could be said for SoCal.
 
Very Possible Scenario. LINCOLN OF STOCKTON is #1 CA STATE D1. #1 in SJS Section. IF, just saying Lincoln loses in the Semis to a MC or Inderkum. Would it be out of the question to put

MC/ Inderkum - Winner/Runner up. AND throw Lincoln of Stockton in as well even though they didnt win the SJS???

I think ALL 3 Teams are worthy of an open BID

I wouldn’t count out Clovis North should they meet St. Joseph for the CS title. SJ was heavily favored last season and CN won by a good margin.
 
I really hope Riordan gets the #1 seed. NorCal finals in Santa Maria just sounds crazy
 
My wild guess. (not in any order)

Riordan
St Joseph
Salesian
DLS
MC
Lincoln

I got inderkum in d1.
