Interesting because????
None of those Socal teams are coming to the WCJ Platinum Division????
And Salesian got taken to woodshed by St Johns
and SMS was embarrassed twice????
I guess that makes things interesting...
My point was most of the stronger and better competition is out West.
SMS is a work in progress who has been the best team in the state of California and the nation several times in the past. Salesian as well has been state champions and one of the best in the nation. And I'm sure Salesian (who loss to a couple of the nation's best teams far from scrubs) and SMS will get much better as the season progresses. So knocking them ( many young kids) when they're down shows class. Teams can rebound from double digit losses as someone recently pointed out Centennial loss to CW by double digits (at the Nike TOC) and returned the same double digit defeat back to CW shortly afterwards.
It's tougher to play 4 tough games on the road back to back at the Nike Toc than playing in the WCJ we all know that.
Christian ( who is on the list) will be at the WCJ. Along with................
Etiwanda who beat Redondo Union,Long Beach Poly, Mater Dei, La Jolla CD, all from the list in the TOC championship and I'm sure can beat or at least hang with Windward is more than capable of representing SoCal.
Alemany who beat La Jolla CD, and hung with Windward for 3 quarters is also representing at the WCJ.
Troy who beat Long Beach Poly and La Jolla CD (both from the list) is also representing at the WCJ along with other solid SoCal teams like
Harvard-
Westlake will be at the WCJ.
And
Pinewood the defending Norcal champs and Open Division runner -ups will be there.
along with a few teams that will get much better by seasons end like Carondelet, Salesian, MM, Heritage, and several others.
I never said this was the best lineup ever assembled at the WCJ or anywhere else. But it is a good enough gathering of talent to encourage myself and many others to get out to support them. So it still sounds interesting enough.
