NorCal Open-thoughts
- Thread starter serdaprs
- Start date
Sheldon
Dublin
Bellarmine
Mitty
O’Dowd
DLS
Bubble:
Salesian
Riordan
Capital Christian
Campo
Branson
Granada
My guess would be:
1) Sheldon (BYE)
2) Dublin (BYE)
3) Winner of Mitty/Bellarmine
4) Loser of Mitty/Bellarmine
5) Bishop O'Dowd
6) Clovis West
7) Salesian
8) Riordan
Campo odd man out due to H2H loss versus Riordan. If Riordan losses to Sacred Heart, they lose their open spot to Campo. So Kiddman should be cheering hard for Sacred Heart Prep tomorrow!

Most likely taking :
2 teams from SJS
3 teams from NCS
2 teams from CCS
And 1 from Central
Just my guess.

Campo also lost to BOD at the SMC MLK game. They’ll be D1 for sure. It would be hard for DLS to pass 4 NCS Open teams for a seat at the NorCal Open division. They need to avenge their league loss to Granada in the NCS D1 final before they even think about NorCal.
Can you explain to me how two teams get a bye with and eight team bracket SMH
2 teams from SJS (Sheldon / CC)
2 teams from NCS (Dublin / Salesian)
3 teams from CCS (Bells / Mitty / Riordan)
And 1 from Central (Clovis West)
1. Sheldon
2. Bellarmine
3. Dublin
4. Mitty
5. Salesian
6. Riordan (or Bishop O'Dowd)
7. Capital Christian
8. Clovis West
I think that Riordan or Bishop O'Dowd are the two bubble teams with one making the Open and the other being #1 seed in D1.

The wild card is do they take 3 teams from CCS OR NCS if dela beats granada in the NCS D1 finals they have a leg up over riordan with there head to head win over Dublin it would be hard to take riordan over dela when riordan lost to dublin.
Odowd just beat Salesian, they are a lock.
DLS is not open this year didnt even win league. If 8 Riordan and Salesian get in. If only 6 then D1 is gonna be a monster. Best time of year for hs hoopheads
In no order:
Sheldon
Mitty
Bellarmine
Dublin
O’Dowd.
I think next up is a Clovis West or Salesian to get to six

Sounds about right...and if this comes true the D1 bracket is going to be a darn good one too! Could have De La, Riordan, Granada, Campo...etc
There was also a Sheldon asst. coach at the Dublin-Campo game tonight. So yeah, they're def. doing their work.
Predictions (assuming favorites all win section games):
1. Sheldon (SJS D1 Champ)
2. Mitty (CCS Open Champ)
3. Dublin (NCS Open Champ)
4. Bellarmine (CCS Open runner-up)
5. O'Dowd (NCS Open runner-up)
6. Riordan (CCS Open team)
7. Capital Christian (SJS D1 runner-up)
8. Salesian (NCS Open semi-finalist)
1. Sheldon (SJS D1 Champ)
2. Mitty (CCS Open Champ)
3. Dublin (NCS Open Champ)
4. Bellarmine (CCS Open runner-up)
5. O'Dowd (NCS Open runner-up)
6. Riordan (CCS Open team)
7. Capital Christian (SJS D1 runner-up)
8. Salesian (NCS Open semi-finalist)
If clovis gets in. Salesian is out. Capital beat them early and Riordan beat Capital in Gridley. The big question is 6 or 8 teams.
Hard to take Riordan having lost in the quarter finals of CCS
Even Ethan Kassel's column today suggests Riordan likely to be in D1 rather than Open. DLS-Riordan matchup is looming. You can bet in the event of this matchup happening that DLS will be implementing that 2-3 zone.
I guess that I saw a partial score in the Salesian - O'Dowd game - assumed it was a low scoring final. Stand corrected
I have a couple of thoughts but I'll go ahead and share those later! Have a nice morning everybody!

Makes me think of George Carlin (I think), posing as a sports news anchor... "Here's a partial score... Yankees 7."
Yes - George did have a great bit about partial scores back in the day..... we are both dating ourselves.....
Man, Riordan, DLS and Salesian all in the D-1 bracket potentially??? Wow!
Don’t forget Campo, if it wasn’t for Team Bryce going for 40+ points. I think it would have been a closer game
It won’t have Sheldon, Dublin, BOD, Mitty or Bellarmine, but NorCal D1 will be anything but a cakewalk. Both the Open and D1 brackets will be loaded.
Will Branson be D1 as well? Granada? Serra? SRV? Grant? St. Mary’s Stockton? St. Francis? Monte Vista? A few of these teams might end up in D2.
Not sure if your being sarcastic or not by referring to "Team Bryce" but for you or anyone else who thinks Team Bryce is referring to something selfish or about him you are sadly mistaken. Really shouldn't even have to explain where " Team Bryce "comes from but long story short it honors Darryl Aikens whom lost a battle to CANCER . He was a student athlete (football player) at Mcclymonds High and everyone who supported him joined Team Darryl. Bryce made him a poster that said " Team Darryl " . One day visiting Darryl in the hospital after Bryce had a big game we walked into Kaiser Oakland and Darryl was holding a sign, a sign saying "Team Bryce" . Darryl always thought of others and never complained about being sick. He supported Bryce through his sickness on each team and every game.
Darryl lost his battle with Cancer but Bryce honors him with the Team Bryce nickname and we all wear wristbands that say "Team Darryl " . Rest in Peace.
Team Bryce lives on you for you. #TeamDarryl
