in the other thread Sjbasket asked about big time preseason games in norcal.
So it occurred to me to start the OPEN prognosticating...and what preseason games could have an effect on who goes.
there are 8 teams that qualify for the OPEN with no more than 4 coming from any section.
PLUS there has been speculation that the CENTRAL SECTION may be included in the NOR CAL this upcoming year...which then means that Clovis West could crash the NOR CAL OPEN party.
But as of today I am assuming that is not happening. So based on that....
this is how I see it....
SJS
SMS
Sac
McClatchey
Vanden
Oakridge
I REALLY like McClatchey and they are my surprise team to watch out for.
at least 2 teams should/will/need to be chosen from the SJS.
and assuming 2 are chosen that makes for some interesting discussions in the NCS and CCS.
NCS
CLET
ODOWD
MIRAMONTE
SALESIAN
SMB
CN
I see only 3 will be chosen.....makes for some interesting sections and some interesting arguments depending on who wins each section.
If CLET, MM, ODOWD/SALESIAN and CN win their respective sections ....who are the 3???
and why do I ONLY say 3 will be chosen????
because in the CCS....
MITTY
PINEWOOD
SHC
MENLO-ATHERTON
EASTSIDE PREP
I personally believe the top 3 will be MITTY,PINEWOOD AND SHC (in no particular order) and
how do you NOT send all 3???
2 from the SJS
3 from the NCS
3 from the CCS
and now we get into some of the big preseason games....
as a CN fan I see as possible OPEN type qualifiers and possible play in type games for CN that definitely will come into play at OPEN seeding time.
12/9 EASTSIDE PREP vs CN at the Laney Shootout.
12/10 OAKRIDGE vs CN at the Laney Shootout
12/17 SHC vs CN at the Presentation Shootout.
12/28,29,30 WCJ..... CN could see SALESIAN and/or CLet
1/21 @SMS
as CLAYK has said over and over on NCP......you play a schedule like this to leave no doubt in the seeding's committee minds....
YOU EITHER PLAY YOURSELF IN...OR YOU PLAY YOURSELF OUT....
***I would like to see some breakdowns on the other OPEN potential teams schedules
and what big games they play that could determine whether they go OPEN or not.
