Week 5 (week record)
1. St. Ignatius (0-2) loss at home to Serra and away v. a Kone-less Mitty. Is youth catching up?
2. Mission (3-0). Full squad playing best ball in City at moment. Poised for jump.
3. Stuart Hall (2-1). Big wins over LW and Urban. Tight loss to St. Josephs. Getting better.
4. L.W. (1-1) Big win on road v. University; but lost to hot Stuart Hall. will they be healthy at playoffs?
5. SHC (1-1) Beat Riordan at home; 2 pt loss to Bellarmine on road. Still an enigma.
6. University (1-1) loss at home to LW drops them.
7. Urban (1-0). Loss to Stuart Hall; big game v. University pending.
8. Riordan (1-1) loss to SHC; loss to University and inability to win close games still neutralizing their rankings.
9. Burton (3-0) loss to Mission last week does not deter this group. They are a 3 happy team.
10.Gateway (2-0). They keep winning games on their schedule.
SI but virtue of 20+ win over Mission at Sand Dune, still hanging on. However, trending down while Mission now at full squad; may see a shift if trend continues. The BCL is so competitive this year hard to knock a team in either direction. SHC win over Riordan nudges them above Crusdaers. Riordan has not won a close game in long time; a good week will change this. Other than Mission and Burton, AAA beating up on itself.
City games of the week:
WCAL: Serra@Riordan; Riordan@SI; SI@SHC;
AAA: Lincoln@Mission
BCL: University@Urban; Stuart Hall@University.
Have a good week.
Previous Rankings
Week 4 (week record)
1. St. Ignatius(1-1) loss on road at St. Francis not surprising. A home win v. Serra would steady ship.
2. Mission (2-0). Match Burton 3's and crowd and found some badly needed post presence.
3. University- (2-0) Did'n't help or hurt themselves this week. Devil's Den awaits rematch with LW.
4. Riordan (0-3). At some point, team has to learn to win a close game. Injuries exposing lack of depth.
5. L.W. (2-1) Humbled v. Urban; this week does not get much better. Tittering at 5.
6.Stuart Hall(0-0) Good week off. will it pay dividends in tough matches v. Urban and L.W.
7. Urban (2-0). Big win over L.W. Poised to make a bigger jump by end of week.
8. SHC (1-2) Hollins 50 impressive (even v. V.C), AAU ball meets the WCAL
9. Burton (1-1) depth was their demise v. Mission. Will see if week provides a let-down game.
10.Lincoln (1-0). Solid win at home v. a Washington team on a roll.
One and two are solid; 3-10 will be cleared up by end of week. Cant knock Cats for away lost at St. Francis (even a tough game when SF not good). Riordan injuries catching up to them. SHC just imploding. Riordan/SHC game will say a lot about both teams. BCL the most competitive environment this year. Hard to say who will end up on top. The AAA is Mission's to lose and whats important to the other teams is...they can.
City games of the week:
WCAL: Riordan@SHC; Serra at S.I.
AAA: Lincoln@Lowell; Lowell@Mission; Washington@Mission; Burton@Washington;
BCL: LW@University; SH@LW; Urban@SH
Have a good week.
Week 3 (week record)
1. St. Ignatius(2-0) great games v. City WCAL teams Getting stronger.
2. Mission (4-0). First week with full squad and showing it.
3. Riordan (0-2). Tough lost at Serra; tough home loss to S.I.
4. L.W. (3-0) Suspect 17-1 record gets boost with win over Univ.
5. University-Virtue of win over Riordan/strong preseason keeping them up.
6. Burton (2-1) surprise team got brought back to earth by SM Berkeley.
7. SHC (0-2) great effort v. SI; fell flat to Serra at home. One dimentional.
8.Stuart Hall(2-0) Good win v. Urban; moves up 1
9.Wahington (2-0) Exciting win and now at full squad.
10. Lowell (1-1) coming down to earth.
A lot cleared up as predicted after week 2. S.I. solidified No. 1 ranking with two hard fought WCAL games. Mission now at full strength can only beat themselves in league. Riordan only dropping one space due to tough road loss to Serra. SHC one dimensional; need to prove their talent can put four quarters together. LW finally take University on ultimate neutral court. Burton discipline turning heads. Washington making most of talent.
