I've got to give Kelly Sopak credit for an impressive lineup:
9 a.m.: Las Lomas vs. Lincoln (Stockton) -- OK, no need to get up that early, really.
10:30 a.m.: No. 9 St. Mary's of Stockton vs. Bishop Manogue -- Bishop Manogue showed well at the Jamboree and if Kenna Holt is back, will be even better. And maybe Amaya Oliver gets on the court for SMS.
Noon: No. 11 Sacred Heart Cathedral vs. No. 16 Bishop O'Dowd -- great matchup between two gritty, talented teams that play hard all the time.
1:30 p.m.: No. 6 Heritage vs. No. 10 McClatchy -- How good is Heritage really? How good is McClatchy really? Much will be revealed.
3:30 p.m. (note the two-hour break here): No. 5 Miramonte vs. No. 14 Folsom -- Katie Harris is 6-6. Miramonte has no one 6-0.
5 p.m.: No. 4 Carondelet vs. No. 8 St. Joseph Notre Dame -- last year, St. Joe's put itself on the map with an upset win over Carondelet in the Miramonte gym. Will the aroma of revenge flavor this game?
6:30 p.m.: No. 3 Salesian vs. No. 2 Mitty -- Haley Jones (Stanford) vs. Angel Jackson (USC) in a Pac-12 preview. Oh, and all the other players are really good too.
8 p.m.: No. 18 St. Patrick St. Vincent vs. Castro Valley -- Did you know SPSV has lost only to Salesian?
That's 12 of the top 20 teams in one spot on one day ... should be something special.
This is an incredible lineup and I love the match-ups.
Lincoln over LL-definitely too early, LOL. I love the two 6 footers on Lincoln-6'2 freshman Shelton and 6'0 sophomore Cabuena going to be very very good in the next couple years.
SMS over BM-too much speed for BM (side note:St Marys plays Heritage tomorrow night-could lose 3 in a row for first time ever)
SHC/Odowd and Heritage/McClatchy and Miramonte/Folsom- these 3 games worth the price of admission, could be coin flips for these games. Heritage seeking revenge for last 2 years losses to McClatchy. Katie Harris is younger sister of Shayley Harris who graduated last year, can Folsom's size control MM's 3 point shooting?-could winners of these NCS/SJS games go to Open?
CLet over SJND-I think way too much size for SJND to handle.
Mitty over Salesian-this game alone worth the price of admission! With the Mitty transfers getting a few games under their belt, this team ready to start rolling.
St Pats over Castro Valley-no one can stop Sadler.
I offered my input to the prior staff
1,2,3.4,....
If you are be yourself, tell the truth and never be ashamed of being truthful.Oh no... you were THAT parent??? I thought you came on here to vent to avoiding being THAT parent..
word of advice to the posters that have kids playing currently or in the future.. never be THAT parent...
I'm sure that's exactly what the last staff said too...I knew it wouldn't take long for the peanut gallery and haters to replay.
Thanks for the advice OnBall, LOL, too funny.
Paytc-only took 5 minutes for a response. I'll break down this game a little more in depth then if you like. With so many games on the docket, I could only really limit myself to one small comment about each game. Let me start off by saying I have not seen CLET or SJND play this year yet. But I did see them both last year. I know you are a CLET expert and have seen them play many times over the years. You are right, they have the same size as last year, only lost Walton and Dwiggins. SJND is a very small team, very guard dominated, with very good ball handlers and shooters. Their main inside presence last year Nunn graduated, and she played a big role in their defeat of CLET last season. Without Nunn, and without Nilsson out injured for the year, I think SJND will struggle with CLETs size. In their 2 losses to Salesian and MD, these 2 teams have a lot of size as well. That is why I made this comment. CLET is obviously favored in this game just like last year. If SJND would win this game, it would be an upset. But obviously it is not out of the question. That is why they play the game.
Sure would be nice to let the last staff and others speak for themselves.I'm sure that's exactly what the last staff said too...
HA! says the guy who has consistently bashed them for a year+???Sure would be nice to let the last staff and others speak for themselves.
poor baby.
was the advice offered in your capacity as Disgruntled Parent, Bleacher Coach, or both?
I typically say to my knowledge so that if it is incorrect others who know more can chime in.
a standup comic! pure as the driven snow!
Do you know each other personally? You guys really need to hugSay the peanut gallery. LOL..... ticket sales to my show are very good. Happy new year to ya !
Do you know each other personally? You guys really need to hug
Wow, don't sleep on this board. first a great line up of games. Bummed Pinewood could not make it this year. Pinewood's league added two games that has limited their ability to play additional non league games like this. second, a parent should never offer advice to a staff unless it is requested. I like Paytc on this board but that is over the top. Third the new staff seems to have the ship corrected and it will be a much better game this year. I am expecting Carondelet to win this game but hopeful the Panthers can get it done.
see I try to ignore you but you just say things that warrant being called out on...That is yours and many other people's take on it. And how you and perhaps many others think about authority. I can respect that. But I only bow down to immortal beings not flawed men or women. I've never been a robot or a follower. So love or hate it I always have been a trailblazer and independent thinker. And one who has never been afraid of challenging the norm.

you have to realize this does not make you a trailblazer or an independent thinker of any kind. Parents in sports have been doing this since the beginning of time, that is far from being a trailblazer... From a coaching standpoint (which is the side I have experience with and stand with) it just makes you a PITA...
2 or 3 critics that love me so much they follow me
Did you say you expect Carondelet to beat Pinewood? Can you expand on that? Does home court present an advantage to Carondelet? I would love to hear some insight to this game tomorrow night? Paytc, will size make a difference against Pinewood?Wow, don't sleep on this board. first a great line up of games. Bummed Pinewood could not make it this year.

Are you crazy? It is your daughter's coach and your daughter's team. That is no different than your wife parading into your place of employment and telling your bosses what they are doing wrong and to offer her advice to them unsolicited.That is yours and many other people's take on it. And how you and perhaps many others think about authority. I can respect that. But I only bow down to immortal beings not flawed men or women. I've never been a robot or a follower. So love or hate it I always have been a trailblazer and independent thinker. Im gonna be who I am. And one who has never been afraid of challenging the norm, dogmas, or authority. Everyone else can stay in their place. I like to keep expanding boundaries. Especially when deemed necessary as no humans, systems, or circumstances are perfect. Everyone has to be the same and follow all the rules and norms of man is such a joke to me. I guess that's why rules keep changing as do many norms and customs once enough people align with one another for the better of all.
And I never forced advice on anyone. But was asked to give it at a time or two.
haha good to see you go back and edit your post a half hour after posting... maybe think before you type and you wont have to go back and edit a short post into an even lengthier, long winded response filled with nonsenseThat is yours and many other people's take on it.

I guess that's why rules keep changing as do many norms and customs once enough people align with one another for the better of all. We certainly don't think on many issue the same in 2019 as we once did in 1926.

I think the size will take a toll on Pinewood. Pinewood is not deep and the officiating is not going to allow the normal displacement that Pinewood likes to get away with. Follow me on this, Carondelet is a far tougher opponent for Pinewood than Salesian. They have multiple bigs and better perimeter scoring. Now, Salesian is better than Carondelet head to head because I think they neutralize the interior game. Bamberger will live at the line against Pinewood. The advantage for Pinewood is Carondelet will struggle to defend as PW will constantly have an advantage on the floor.Did you say you expect Carondelet to beat Pinewood? Can you expand on that? Does home court present an advantage to Carondelet? I would love to hear some insight to this game tomorrow night? Paytc, will size make a difference against Pinewood?
So you only care about god? You don't care about your wife, your family and loved ones? I always get a kick when people go to the god card when referring to judgement as if god is actually going to talk to you and tell you that posting nonsense on a message board is hurting your family.I can look my self in the face and sleep very well at night. And only God's judgement of me matters. If I had a chance to do things all over again I wouldn't change much. Sure far from perfect. But..... I'm too happy, cause God loves me !
I only bow down to immortal beings

Let me ask you this, let us say hypothetically that god was not happy with you and your actions toward the coaches at carondelet and your post on public message boards about your daughters basketball team. how would he, GOD let you know? Would he strike you down with lightening? Would he walk you up from a deep sleep and only talk to you about it? Or would he give those that love you the power and courage to kindly say to you not to do those things to please take a back seat and let your daughter enjoy your experience. or would he give someone like me the courage to type on a message board and express my frustration in hopes that you will see the light.
God works in mysterious ways and yes he does love you as he loves me and everyone reading this message. We are his children, therefore we are brothers. God bless
I'd love to get deeper and discuss more of my views. Anyone who is really interested can email me. Because I don't speak in PC language which makes it hard for most to relate to me on a message board. I dont personally think God deals in fear or hypotheticals. Those like time IMO are man made concepts. Feel free to reach out directly one on one if interested.

There's definitely more you can do defensively to help yourself out than just praying. There are certain 3's (and ways of creating those 3's) that they like and are better at shooting than others. Take those away first and then pray they shoot the others poorly, but most coaches aren't great at pinpointing tendencies especially when they are hard for the average person to recognize.The formula for beating Pinewood is not rocket science: Don't turn the ball over and pray to The Almighty they shoot 10 percent on treys.
