Kiddman how many teams do you think will be selected ? I think there were 6 last year.Slight chance for SJS d1 runnerup, too.
Somebody from the central section will be moved up. Assuming Saint Joseph but possibly Clovis west or Clovis north if they upset them. D1 will end up being pretty loaded as well.I was thinking about that... I have no idea, but I think it's always been 6 since Open started.
So, going with the others I suggested... I'll try this list, not in order...
1. Salesian
2. Branson
3. Riordan (they've been on a roll lately, but have a history of being somewhat inconsistent, need to keep winning in the tough WCAL
4. SJS d1 champ
5. EBAL champ (DLS, SRV, or Granada)
6. SJS d1 runnerup or 2nd-best in EBAL.
Good luck to the seeders... and yes, there is still a LOT to determine.
I think in some order is Salesian, Branson and DLS (assuming two of them makes the finals), Mitty and Riordan if they make the CCS finals and the SJS D1 champWhat would be the top 8 if the season ended today that would get selected for the open?
- Salesian
- Branson
- Riordan
-SJS d1 champ
- De la salle

I believe there is a limit to 4 Open teams from a section, so if Salesian, Branson & DLS all make it, that only leaves 1 spot (at most) for another NCS team. By the same token, an early loss in the NCS Open by one or more of those 3 could be enough to keep them out if an SRV or Granada makes an NCS Open run. Still a lot of hoops to go, but I like the chances of those 3.SRV has a strong shot at Open... So does Granada.
Both have several tough games left in the EBAL, and then league playoffs. Lots to prove yet, even for DLS.
But I'd think all three could make Open if they finish strong.
Open has always been an 8-team bracket. They can place 8 teams if deserving.I think in some order is Salesian, Branson and DLS (assuming two of them makes the finals), Mitty and Riordan if they make the CCS finals and the SJS D1 champ
So that gives you six without the Central Section. I don’t think they do more than 6 so maybe a third NCS team drops to D1?
Had 5 teams in 2023 and 7 teams in 2022Open has always been an 8-team bracket. They can place 8 teams if deserving.
I think SJS gets a team. I don’t think one of the three major sections (SJS, CCS, NCS) have ever had zero teams in Open.Does SJS get a team in this year? I'm not sure from what I've seen.
St Joeseph
Salesian
DLS
Branson
Riordan
These are my 5. Will make for a very good D1 with schools like Granada, SRV, MC, Sheldon, MT ,Mitty.
I have liked this change.I think they (CIF) made a rule that the Open will have the same number of teams in the So-Cal bracket as they do in the Nor-Cal bracket. They are trying to make it more equitable if that is even possible.
Didn’t beat Lincoln by 22 . Lincoln had it to 6 in 4th.MC has a great history, but this hasn't exactly been their best year. Certainly a good year, but not quite up to what they've been in recent years.
To the original "if the season ended today" question, I'd say they're not in Open. No Top 50 (in CA) wins, though Lincoln-Stockton is close to that, and they beat them by 22. The Crusaders meet those guys again, and also face Weston Ranch, currently #65.
If they win out regular season, then at least get to the SJS D1 finals, that *could* be enough, would be better to WIN the final (Of course, that would automatically put them in, I think...).
The Crusaders have the goods to get that done, but it's maybe 50/50.
is there video on those last few calls/non callsDidn’t beat Lincoln by 22 . Lincoln had it to 6 in 4th.
Last night Lodi was up by 4 with 2 min left vs mc. Missed shots , a terrible travel call , a missed charge on a Sykes bucket all in last minute and MC hung on for Win. Lodi is #193 in California
is it free?The whole game is on NFHS. Just looked at the last few minutes myself.. Agree with HEAT on both counts, but then again, they didn't call the other 50 travels on Lodi. Seemed like they move both feet almost every time they turned with it.
"Getting"?? More like "Has earned".Poop.... you are getting a reputation.... just slinging comments ...........
why was it a player control foul?Come on . Nobody on here is dumb. This basically Lodi’s last desperation to tie. With 20 seconds left. At about 150 with lodi with ball and up 2 a ref out of position called a bad travel. Then with 59 seconds and a 1 point game Sykes should have been called for a charge. Would have been Lodi ball down 1 . Instead down 3 and the play you show
oh okNFHS isn't free, but it's cheap for an addict like me... If you buy for a year, it's some $6 or $7 a month, all sports, all states. Only a few things get blocked or taken down, due to TV contracts.
A lot of the video isn't good, but it's improving. This game, the video is fine... Not exactly HD, but fine. Some of the games have announcers, and some small production teams with announcers travel around to games and then use NFHS to distribute the games online. ABC JAM productions comes to mind for a NorCal broadcast service.
If I find just two or three games a month with acceptable video to watch, it's well worth the nominal cost. WAYYYYYYY cheaper than Tanager or BallerTV or whatever...
And nearly all of the video stays online forever, or close to it.
He may have jumped directly into a defender who had established position. I say "May have" because it was a close play.why was it a player control foul?
most times they are close.He may have jumped directly into a defender who had established position. I say "May have" because it was a close play.
