October 18 Scores
- Thread starter Streak One
- Start date
I had a feeling they would upset Calaveras but not by this much. This was the only game I thought would be an upset. I also thought the new coach at Calaveras would make a difference in the losing streak to Sonora. But he didn't.
Wow, but not surprised. I didn’t think OR last week was as good as advertised early on. Even though it was a 3 score game. QB is good but not a Sunday player. 4 timely turnovers by DO led to 24 points.
The league is very close this year, which is good.
Agree. However, I had them at 3 until the last hour. I had a strong feeling Sonora would beat them due to the long win streak they have on Calavares. Earlier tonight I saw that Calaveras had a new coach so I took a chance on him winning. Lesson learned. Never bet against a coach that has a winning streak against another school. No matter if the new coach seems to have turned the program around.
Whitney was gritty tnite and OR slept walk thru the first half. OR shows up in first and they win by 3+ scores. Both teams have good QB’s. Lamson is a Saturday QB. Haven’t seen a Sunday one since I saw Goff at MC beat C.Newman.
Now can I get some agreement that the NCS is really down this year?
How this matchup wasn't being streamed anywhere is beyond ridiculous
I've agreed with that for a while and also said the same NCS is down.
Not a particularly strong year in norcal either. There is DLS and ...... Folsom not as strong and Serra is good but seem to lack on the defensive side of the ball although probably favored over offensive deficient VC and maybe as good as Folsom.
Why would that result further the point the NCS is down? I didn't see the game, but from game flow, it seemed like two good teams going at it. The NCS is down argument is correct (and one I didn't see as early as others on this board).
However, I look at no third quality team from the BVAL, no standout team from non-De La Salle EBAL teams and O'Dowd being way down as being bigger evidence than the Pittsburg-Liberty result.
And it was packed house with the rivalry, the BVAL title on the line and Liberty home coming in new field. Should have been streamed.
This has been my feeling as we look at rankings past the top 4 or 5. Teams 6-10 are generally weaker this season compared to past years. And even 2-4 is down for the most part
Pitt's previous "big" win was over St. Mary's who has taken 3 beatings far, far worse (the Wilcox game was with the Chargers' main RB out). Pitt, Liberty, California, Monte Vista, San Ramon Valley, and Clayton Valley Charter may be all interchangeable, depending on the night. Considering what Monterey Trail did to SRV and Serra did to Pitt, the NCS isn't looking very good overall.
To me, the most impressive win for the NCS this year has been Marin Catholic over Mitty.
Agreed. NorCal is down this year. CCS is relatively up, but I think the SJS is slightly down and the NCS is very down. CCS putting its top teams all in one basket is probably going to force some other teams to play over their heads in the regionals.
A lot of traditional NCS powers are in rebuilding mode. It happens.
Las Lomas looks interesting in D-III. Either MC or CN will be good in D-IV. D-I is just a mess, though. NCS D-II may end up comparable to CCS D-II.
We'll see how much work the NCS commissioner puts in to keep divisional heirarchy when it comes to the regional bowl placements.
