El Cerrito has been overrated all year. They lost to every good team they played. Once Carlos transferred and left they were done.

And they lost to an overrated WCAL team. Makes sense lol

Congrats to the Padres! What a great experience that those boys will never forget. Coach Rapp, Carson and Dugoni do an outstanding job getting their teams ready to play. Go get state!

Hard to say they're overrated if the made it to the NorCal final and lost a close game. I'd argue this is right where they should have been and that they are currently where they should be. To be one of 12 teams playing in NorCal is pretty good.

Didn't you have EC winning? lol

Taking nothing away from Serra,but how does an all boys Catholic of 1,600 students end up playing in D3?Makes no sense to me.Against a coed public of 1100-1200?

Actually Serra's enrollment according to CCS enrollment figures is 1,758 (enrollment doubled) which breaks down to 879 boys so not as skewed as you pointed out. Regardless, Serra draws top athletes from a much wider geography (up and down the peninsula) than any public school could ever imagine so it's never going be to be a level playing field and I feel for the publics when competing against the privates.....

Ok,though I thought it had a much bigger enrollment,
