Why isn't there an OPEN section for SJS. It seems that every other section has it.

Who does it benefit?

What teams/Divisions does it hurt?
 
There arent enough good teams in SJS? Or maybe they are better placed in their divisions based on enrollment.

I Don't think not enough good teams is the problem.
SJS D1 alone standings right now.

1. Folsom
2. Inderkum
3. Modesto Christian
4. Capital Chr.
5. Lincoln (stockton)
6. Edison
8. Grant
9. M. Trail
12. Sheldon
13. Weston Ranch

*Jesuit will be placed in D1 if they win thier league.

ALL of these teams and only 4/5 Will make State Playoffs.

as opposed to ALL open invites make it in the NCS/CCS right.

and the finalist in D1. etc.

The SJS and school districts are not ran by people with strong ties to the Sacramento or neighborhood communities. They are ran by outsiders whose decisions have absolutely destroyed city sports.

The politics of the SJS favor small city/suburban towns like Folsom and basketball schools like Modesto Christian. If the politics were fair and equal, Folsom and Modesto Christian would not be successful in football or basketball.

The SJS/School district has single-handedly destroyed every basketball powerhouse in Sacramento.

In addition, the SJS has never let the best schools compete against one another to establish a true section champion. They’ve always preferred enrollment based divisions. Which destroyed the basketball and football playoffs….

Your joking right. Alot of quality games with everyone in open moving on to Norcals could be done. Each section does their open different . Southern section puts teams in pools of 4 and everyone gets to watch/ play 3 games with pool winners getting 4. Ccs does a modified 8 team bracket . This year may be down a bit but every year there could have been an open playoffs. Modesto Christian, Sheldon, Folsom, Capital Christian, Inderkum, Lincoln , Elk Grove , Jesuit , Grant would have been a good start last year.

If anything the SJS is one of the strongest hoop section at the D1 level this year. (Even with Sheldon down a little)
MC
Folsom
Jesuit
Inderkum
CC
Sheldon
 
I think every section should have an Open Division, but I would agree that SJS has less need for it with some many of the top teams in D1. Issue sections like the NCS and CCS have a lot of strong private schools scattered throughout their divisions.

No in the SJS its the Final 4 from each division, with maybe 1 or 2 at large bids.
so that might be a reason why. ncs you gotta make the final so getting to the open eliminates that issue if you get upset in the semi or before.
as well as most top teams in sjs are D1.
last season the ponderosa team was talked about by buddy on here like the showtime lakers and got bounced early. it would have helped them if they were in the open then they would have gone to state even with the lost

Correct. So am asking is it better we have one or not.

I personally thinks it helps and makes sense for everyone except D1. lol
 
So wouldn’t it make sense to take more D1 schools?
Each section is limited as to the number of teams that can go to NorCals. If they take more D1 schools, then that means less schools make it from the other divisions.
