Wow CVC loses. That’s tough. Menlo must be a solid team

 

[Brodiemaster]

I was definitely wrong about Menlo getting blown out by CVC, grats to them.

Central Catholic 55-51 over Monterey
HMB 55-50 over Rio Americano

 

[MoneyTeam0115]

St Francis loses to Central

 

[Crosstown Rival]

Menlo lost by 30 to Mitty last week

Menlo lost by 30 to Mitty last week

SI beat them 80-48 in CCS Open consolation play as well. Menlo was missing their second best player against Mitty though - not sure if he played vs SI.

 

[larry legend33]

Wow... Alameda score really surprised me. Good for them.
Mitty spanked Jesuit...What is in the water...

 

[H.E.A.T.]

Maybe Elias King was still hurt

 

[Coach JZJ]

That was Mitty’s 12th win of the season. Elias played, not sure if he was playing injured

 

[Crosstown Rival]

Wow... Alameda score really surprised me. Good for them.
Mitty spanked Jesuit...What is in the water...

Larry it’s called the WCAL

 

[H.E.A.T.]

They are peaking now however. They also blasted menlo by 30 who just beat a good CVC.

 

[Defense_Rules]

VC beats Oakland Tech 68-50 to advance.

What about Dublin and Serra?

 

[Crosstown Rival]

What about Dublin and Serra?

Serra up 47-46 heading into 4th

HAHA... I know... Great league. I got Bellarmine beating Modesto Christian.

You have to play all 32 minutes. Every game is a Championship game. Win or go home. Late charges can get you a victory.

Good job Heritage; Heritage and Las Lomas had small margins at their end of games.

 

[MoneyTeam0115]

It’s highschool Basketball man. All about matchups. Who’s on that night. What coaches can make the right adjustments.

 

[MoneyTeam0115]

Now Menlo School has to travel all the way to Fresno to play a very good and athletic Central that came into St Francis and pulled off the upset.

Am I the only one who sees that CVC plays ZERO defense? That's not a recipe for playoff success.

With this new Nor Cal fore-mat I’m not sure if there is a such thing as an upset since no teams are better then the others. It looks like a 16 team tournament of equal competition.

And no CVC and a couple of other Offensive powers play zero defense the reason why none of these type teams have any sections or Nor-Cal titles.

Dublin 62 - Serra 58 final -- tough loss for Serra who lead through most of the game.....

Dublin @ Las Lomas Saturday night should be a good one.

 

[MoneyTeam0115]

2 WCAL teams down so far. Another 1 possibly Friday. Definitely the toughest league in Northern California

 

[Straight8]

That d1 bracket is loaded with good teams serra just doesn't have the horses this
year to bother Dublin but that potential 2nd round game with Las Lomas
will be a absolute track meet with plenty of athletes on the floor.

Next up....

 

[MadHatter11]

Hayward over pinewood by 8
Liberty ranch by 2 over Albany
Sonora by 11 over lick wilmerding
Los Gatos by 31 over antelope

 

[MadHatter11]

SI over Berkeley

 

[LoganHomer]

LL and Dublin is gonna be a great second round match up, Paly vs. Heritage should also be a good one.

CVC was ranked 7th in the state, and they lost in the first round.. yikes

CVC lost to a team fresh off 22 point (Mitty) and 32 point (St Ignatius) beatdowns in the CCS Open - not a good look. I suspected they've been over-rated all year. Palo Alto is a senior led quality team that is extremely well coached and will give Heritage all they want in the second round.

CVC gave up 100 to Campo. Their offense is so frantic, if they’re not knocking down those 3s, they’re in trouble.

[larry legend33]

I like Palo Alto as well. Watch tape of that Salesian game earlier in the year and it was close all the way until the end. Should be a good one.
What a wild night in norcal hoops. Seedings don't mean much in this new format.

 

[Straight8]

Palo Alto is a problem for every team not in CCS. This is the program that made it to a State Finals with Jeremy Lin correct? Anyway well Coached, they execute their game plan and you better play a good team defense against them.
