State Bowl Games

[observer22]

They’ve got better than a coin flip’s chance this year.

I do. You can't only have 5 or 6 divisions for a state this large. It would never work. It wouldn't work in Florida or Texas, either. I don't understand why people would be upset about the number of divisions we have under the circumstances. I think the CIF manages as best they can... but...

both the NCS and SS totally gamed the system this year. It's really unimpressive that the rest of the state let them get away with it.

Also, people need to stop looking at McClymonds as a "small" school. You can't tell me that all of the best football players in Oakland happen to live near the school. The OAL has allowed that one school to be great at the others' expense and I don't really understand why.

OAL did the same thing with Skyline High years ago for what must have been decades. Don't know exactly when Mack took over the top spot, but it's been a while for them as well

Been there several times... Mack is an odd mixture of oncampus students and those from liazoned educational units. I am deeply impressed on how well McClymonds has adapted to a difficult environment. But in saying all that, several individuals have expressed to me how they have designed Mack to be a magnet school culturally, academically and athletically. The school has, according to their own website, 200 males students and 160 female students.But the school is so well run and controlled, you would think it was a private school. And that's where I think Cal is coming from - not saying its not a small school - but it has the athletic characteristics (and I'll add - academic characteristics) of a much bigger, stronger school.

Sort of like the Long Beach Poly model in Oakland

Looking like a running clock on this one. State game was vs Marin Catholic. CN has been dealt a favorable hand possibly due to the adversity for the last couple of seasons. Heavy favorites.

Don’t think so. CalHiSports has El Camino winning 28-21

Don’t think so. CalHiSports has El Camino winning 28-21

Seems a difficult game to project. Last year El Camino was 1-9. They have had inconsistent results this year, but have had their best games the last 5 weeks. They’re playing in a good league. My feeling is to go with coach Cronin and the Cardinals. They’ve been here before, will be prepared, and playing at their home field. I’ll go with CN by 21 points.

Don’t think so. CalHiSports has El Camino winning 28-21

Cal Preps has the Game 28-24 Newman... So it defiantly looks like it could be a much closer game then people think....

 

[larry legend33]

Both teams are playing well. Newman has been very solid all year and especially in the post season. I hope it’s a great game for everyone.

[Streak One]

CVC turns it over on downs to start the game. Aquanis gets it at the Eagles’ 39 yard line.

 

[Streak One]

CVC ball back with 840 left Q1

 

[Streak One]

Scoreless at the end of the first quarter.

 

[FBAddict]

CVC scores first 7-0 2Q 1:24

 

[Streak One]

 

[FBAddict]

Quite a defensive game so far.

 

[FBAddict]

End of 3rd CVC 7-0. CVC is staying with the run up the middle with clock eating small gains. Aquinas can't get their passing game going.

 

[Streak One]

7-0 CVC end Q3.

Stout defense, bad offense or both?

 

[FBAddict]

CVC scores a field goal. 10-0 4Q 5:15 remaining

 

[FBAddict]

Aquinas finally gets on the board CVC 10-7 4Q 2:59.

 

[THEOC89]

CVC wins 10-7!!!.... Congrats to The Ugly Eagles!!!.... My Brothers Alma Mater....

At least they made the Most of their Lucky spot in D2 this year.... Next year it is back with the Big Boys!!!!

DIVISION 1–AA
Central, Fresno (14-0) vs. Sierra Canyon (14-1) on Friday, Dec. 13 at 8:00 p.m. at Cerritos College

Second game - here we go! Central is playing as a North team.

 

[observer22]

State Champs, but last place in the EBAL Mountain. Awesome!

 

[FBAddict]

End of first quarter - Central 6-0.

 

[Streak One]

Low scoring has been a theme so far

 

[Streak One]

Central now leads 13-3 with 7 mins left Q1

 

[RidgeRider]

Sierra Canyon play calling at times has been suspect. Central giving them stuff underneath, I would keep going there until Central adjusts.

 

[FBAddict]

Half - Central 13 Sierra Canyon 6

 

[RidgeRider]

Central is really good at getting pressure on the QB.

 

[FBAddict]

End of 3Q Central 20-12

 

[FBAddict]

Great game - Central wins with conviction 34-19. Sierra Canyon was a very good team so this was a very good win for Central.

 

[FBAddict]

North 2, South 0

Great game - Central wins with conviction 34-19. Sierra Canyon was a very good team so this was a very good win for Central.

Speaks volumes about Oak Ridge

 

[THEOC89]

Speaks volumes about Oak Ridge

it sure does!!!... I think the Rocklin loss Plus the Folsom Face Plant against MT made people (Like Myself) underestimate Oak Ridge...

I still can’t figure out how the heck they lost to Rocklin?!?!?....

Hopefully with their great QB they can make another run next year!!!!

 

[townbiz24]

This right here is what is wrong with this whole set up.

 

[remc]

Great game - Central wins with conviction 34-19. Sierra Canyon was a very good team so this was a very good win for Central.

Glad for the Fresno area. It has produced lots of great football players over the years, and really hasn't gotten the notoriety it deserves in terms of producing D1 talent.That Central team clearly has at least a half dozen kids who should be receiving scholarship offers, and that's just off the top of what I can see.Congratulations to Central

 

[Streak One]

Good read on Clayton Valley Charter and some notes if Tim Murphy will be back next year.

I think it was emotional let down after that heart breaking 33-30 loss to Folsom the week before. Plus give Rocklin credit they had a very good team and I believe will also be top tier in 2020. OR needs to replace a few skilled players but they come back with enough to be top dogs in Sac area next year.

Congrats to Central. Hard nosed group.

Central Grizzlies state champs. Not bad for a bunch of undisciplined public school kids.
