NCS Quarterfinal Games

“No direction on the bench” is a completely made up fictional narrative that you concluded after watching maybe 3 games of the Colts at best. No one on the team, coaching staff, parents or fans would subscribe to that notion.
That same erratic play and shot selection has lead them to one of their best seasons ever, being ranked 25th in the state and the 3rd seed in this bracket.
How can you say someone else’s opinion is a fictional made up narrative? The games i went to i saw no moral on the bench. Players come out not shaking peoples hands. Bench not standing up when subs come in and out. Players paying no attention to Easley during timeouts. Even saw a kid come out the game and walk past all 3 coaches without shaking their hand. People see and take notice to those kinds of things. Players falling on the floor and team mates not running over to help each other up. I’m sure you’re used to bad basketball and low moral when the previous coach was there. But all you look at and continue to say is their record and how many games they’ve won. It’s something a fan would say. Not people who know, played and coached at a high level.
@LoganHomer I am not here to get an a debate over your team i was sharing what i
Thought was some bad bebavior by one of your players and a coaching staff doing nothing about it now if you feel wins justify everything then have at it but I will tell
You this there behavior has been noticed by more than just me Logan was invited to Gridley as well as
Playing in the MLK event at st marys let's see when or if that happens again anytime soon.

Best seasons ever? What exactly have they won? Any preseason tourneys? Didn’t they come in 7th at Gridley and embarrassed themselves with their unsportsmanlike behavior? NCS? Norcal?
So we're not allowed to be proud of our best seasons just because we're not some basketball powerhouse? This program was off the map since the 80s, and now we've have 2 20+ win seasons in the last 3 seasons. Not everyone has the same standards my man, we're never going to be a program that's consistently putting out the best teams and we celebrate teams like this.
My bad guys, it's hard not to get defensive when theres a page full of people talkin about your program. I understand it's a difference of opinions and you guys have seen things that you find to be unsportsman like/disrespectful.
The guys on the team ride for each other like brothers, they're always out together and they all back up their coach. Things aren't always as they seem but nothing from what has actually come out of the players mouth says they don't listen to the coach. I was trying to explain what we feel on the other side, but I'll stop the constant back and forth.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, I apologize for rubbing anyone the wrong way in these exchanges.
Logan has nothing to be ashamed about in terms of their on-court play. Easily one of the best teams in Norcal right now.
The Gridley, they played Sheldon and Dublin.....both losses but close losses, and they have played a pretty difficult schedule.

so monte vista was/is which one... less talented, equal talented or better coached? i am going to guess you say better coached... yet the undisciplined fellas from UC beat them...
we all know why logan is catagorized as such and their coach is as well.... there is not a team in the section or maybe even outside of nor cal except sheldon that defends like logan does and plays with all out aggression... i mean... that sounds like coaching to me... but some will always pay those extra taxes no matter what
and for the record... those choir boys at monte vista and their coach is not anything to be bragging about... they are just as awful and their coach is quite the piece of work. but hey it usually works like that
Oh yeah, here we go! Now we've got the discourse headed in the right direction!

D5:
Hoopa Valley vs. Stuart Hall (@Kezar 2/20 7:30PM) - Hoopa Valley barely escaped Head-Royce, but they did. So now I don't know whether they go back to Hoopa for a day, then drive back on the 20th, or do they just stay here? All I know is the last time these two met was 2 years ago in the Redwood Classic, and Stuart Hall won by 30+. Hall is currently on a 17-game win streak during which they are surrendering only 45 PPG.
Clear Lake @ University (2/20 7PM) - Just like the Hall, University easily beat their last NCS opponent. What's interesting is usually University plays their NCS games at Kezar, but on Maxpreps the game is listed at University's gym. Clear Lake only has 2 losses (Albany, El Dorado), but they also barely beat the Bay School and Bentley. Will Clear Lake give University a fight, or will it be another blow out?

Probably because Stuart Hall's gym can't hold the necessary number of people required by NCS. I would assume Hoopa will stay here in the Bay Area...no sense in driving home tonight just to head back here 36-48 hours later...that seems like a far 12 hour drive both ways...
SF Section (Mission-Lowell, Lincoln-?) games at Kezar at 4 and 530. Stuart Hall has the 7:00 slot. UHS needs to find another location. The girls team played at UHS the other night so although tight maybe good enough.
Except for #23, MV had no other player that could match up skill-wise and athletically with Logan. So, IMO, Logan much more talented than MV at just about every position.
University's gym is the same size as Stuart Hall. Literally one row of benches, but at least the Hall has some standing room on the 2nd level.
The game between Hoopa/SHHS isn't until 7:30PM tomorrow night, so my guess is they did go back to Hoopa from Oakland last night. Went to school today, and will probably leave Hoopa around Noon tomorrow. Feel bad for those Hoopa kids, who will have to suffer through around 24 hours worth of bus rides over the last 48 hours!
I heard Hoopa had a really good contingent of fans at the Head Royce game and I'd expect the same on Wednesday. Those schools up north are use to traveling so I wouldn't expect it to affect them much. SH simply is much better than them, but the Hoopa crowd will be there in full support. Their guard averaging 30 a game has been keyed on heavily in both games so far and held to the upper teens in both games. I doubt they'll be much of a challenge.
As for Clear Lake, on a Wednesday afternoon driving down 101 that could be an easy 3 plus hour trip one way. From what I've read they also have solid fan support and I'd assume they'll travel well too. I'd expect the University gym to be busting at the seams. University might get a little fight from them as they seem pretty scrappy and well rounded, but in the end University is just better.
It's not often that the smaller public schools get these opportunities so when they do it's pretty special. Both will be in Norcals and my guess is at least Clear Lake will get a pretty high seed in D5 even if they lose tomorrow.

Playing hard and playing good defense are not the same. Playing hard, Sheldon is elite. Playing defense, they are middle of the road
I think Clear Lake and Hoopa could be higher seeds depending on how close the games are. If they're blowouts, it will impact their overall seed. Will Stuart Hall move up 1 or 2 divisions?
Hoopa stayed in the Bay but there's nothing like sleeping in your own bed! Rest assured that the Hoopa faithful will be in full force tomorrow night. Hope it's a good game!
Excited to see what the Hoopa Valley faithful bring to Kezar tomorrow night.
I know the Kingdom will be out in full force behind the Knights!
Battle to see who makes the Championship!
I saw NCS D1 girls and guys championship games will be played on Friday night at St. Mary's College………… Anyone know where and which day/night the rest of the championship games will be played? D2, D3, and D4 specifically?
Asking for a friend...… thanks!

I’m thinking D2 & D3 will likely be at SMC on Saturday. D4 Finals are not normally held there, more likely more north depending on which teams make the finals.
according to NCS channel on NFHS Network, D2 and D5 will be played at St. Mary's College, D3 at Albany HS, and D4 at Kezar Pavillion
Hopefully that’s just the temporary projection. If Fortuna & Branson are the D4 boys teams and SPSV & Del Norte are the D4 girls teams, Kezar would be an extremely long haul for all those teams and their fans.
Likewise the D5 teams slated for SMC could be Hoopa & Clear Lake (although not likely), and St. Bernard’s and Cloverdale on the girls side.
That’s my guess why they haven’t officially posted them on the NCS website, other than D1 who are all from the East Bay.
Anyone have upset alerts for tonight’s games?
I’ll take Redwood over O’Dowd as one of the top games of the night. Redwood D will keep them in the game...and crazy things happen in postseason.

So the Finals Games will be played at the following locations, unless something crazy happens:
D1-D3 - St Mary's in Moraga
D4 - College of Marin
D5 - Kezar Pavilion in SF
D1 - Give me both lower seeds
D2 - The Favorites
D3 - The Favorites (Wish Dishon Jackson was playing!)
D4 - Can't predict it, but St. Mary's/Fortuna is by far the best game on the slate tonight. Whoever wins vs. Branson.

Not according to Espot and the NFHS network. The NCS site is still blank except for D1 at SMC.
Where did you get this information Ayalar?
Tonight's meaningless predictions:
D1 - DLS over San Leandro and Dublin over Logan in a chippy battle to the end.
D2 - O'Dowd over Redwood in one of the best games of the semi's and Moreau over Los Lomas ending the storybook run for LL.
D3 - St Joe's will give Salesian a battle for a half then it'll be over. Campo just has too much firepower for SPSV.
D4 - Branson over Piedmont without much explanation needed and St. Mary's upsets Fortuna.
D5 - Stuart Hall over the much smaller and less talented Hoopa Warriors and as much as I think an upset is a possibility, University will pull away from Clear Lake setting up SH v Uni #4.
