Tolu Jacobs is no longer at Capital. Will attend a prep school. Capital will still be tough with their guards.
Don’t see them as a top 20 team with out him. They have zero size and inside presence.

I had the luxury to watch DLS play 4 games last year. 11 seems not quite right, they will be a top 5 time by the end of the year. The 51-45 game over Dublin was one of the best high school games I have ever watched.He transferred to MT and then came back to Capital. However, yes he is injured
The physicality of that contest was second to none! DLS on the defensive end is why I think they will have another great year. Time will tell if they will end up in the top end. There is another team in that league that was young and talented but i can't remeber who? Possibly a dark horse?Agree on that DLS win over Dublin (I was also there)... Terrific, extremely well-played contest!
However, DLS had about a half-dozen seniors including their top three players. Lots to replace...
The JV's had a great record last year, but to me they didn't exactly blow away "the eyeball test". So it's a "We'll see" kind of situation.
Also look for Monte Vista to be a factor again in the EBAL/NCS this year, after a rough injury plagued campaign last season. They've got some horses and Nick Jones is going to have this team ready to go.
Dublin has a good backcourt and a solid inside presence, but losing Timmy Falls creates some potential scoring issues. For Bellarmine, depth around Wojcik and Stubblefield is the question for me.
losing the size hurts, but the backcourt is rock solid. Dublin should be the best in the entire tri-valley area, easily.Dublin has a good backcourt and a solid inside presence, but losing Timmy Falls creates some potential scoring issues.

I really like Bellarmine. There 1 pt loss to a very good sheldon team last year was one of best games i watched all of last season. Could have gone either way. They have 1/2 there team back but do lose stud guard Angelo Athens who I believe was a 4 year varsity player. In either event they have 2 low tier D1 kids back in Wojcik and Stubblefield but more importantly they know how to play as a team and are coached well. Bells and SI should be a great WCAL and don't rule out Mitty.
