NorCal Playoff Scores - Leap Day Edition
- Thread starter Streak One
- Start date
O'Dowd leads 16-14 midway through Q2. SI plays really hard and has multiple ball handlers. O'Dowd struggles to score at times in the half court
Dark horse by seed but i picked them to win. Just look like a D1 team.
Vanden has made a run and trails 45-34 heading into Q4
Haven’t seen a final but believe McClatchy won

McClatchy wins 73-67 in OT. Nina Cain was dominant on both ends. 22/16 4 steals and lock down defense on Harper Peterson. Norret Lewis had 9 points in OT and 20 in the game for McClatchy. Still have no idea how this team was a #16 seed. Next up Carondelet
Just watched the game on NFHS--what a nail-biter thriller in OT. The #16 seed McClatchy continues the journey to Carondelet. Nina Cain was herself. Norret Lewis came up big in OT--nobody could defend her, charging the lane and basket on nearly every possession. Both are only "juniors." What a great story for a so-called #16 seed, with every game to be played on the road.
You got to hand it to the CIF Selection Committee for their ignorance or bias. I read in CalHiSports that the CIF Selection Committee didn't consider McClatchy's three losses were when Nina Cain was out on concussion protocols. I find it hard to believe that someone would have informed them of that. So either the SJS representative to the CIF Committee has a vendetta against McClatchy, or the CIF totally relied on MaxPreps rankings, which doesn't factor in when key players are out and not playing.
Per CalHiSports, 2/28/2024:
"We can’t ever remember when there was a CIF regional matchup in which there was a No. 1 seed by the CIF taking on a No. 16 seed by the CIF but in actuality we had the No. 16 seed ranked higher. That happened Tuesday night when No. 16 seed McClatchy of Sacramento traveled to No. 1 seed Pinewood and beat the Panthers, 66-64. McClatchy’s low seed is due to the CIF not taking into account the games lost by the Lions when they didn’t have Cal-bound junior Nina Cain due to concussion protocols."
Any thoughts among you gurus on the Nina Cain-Harper Peterson matchup last night? I missed it but plan to watch the replay on NFHS.
I didn't think so either. I don't know where CalHiSports got that--they may be confused with Folsom's Mafua.
