State Championship Updates
- Thread starter Streak One
- Start date
Open is usually after the even numbered divisions and D-1 headlines the first night after the odd numbered divisions.
they play the D1 and open on different nights for prime time slot reasons
I never know who to root for in these kinds of games ...
If BOD wins, it means we lost to the state champ. Good,
If BOD wins, it means we could have won a state title if we made one more shot. Bad.

As has been often mentioned, the shooting background at Golden1 is completely foreign to most high school players, and the size of the court can be problematic as well. Add in the pressure on girls who aren't used to the spotlight, and bad shooting becomes likely, if not probable.
Presumably the Open game tonight will be a little more crisply played.
(I also want to point out that St. Bernard's 243 students dominated Grossmont's 2,000. Enrollment is vastly overrated as a measure of quality.)

I would say that if u take an average team and keeping dropping down level after level after level eventually u will get to a level that team can win at. If Grossman has 2000 kids then shame on the CIF for putting them in D4 and robbing a small school the chance of having that experience.
I'll say it again there needs to be a floor for how far the cif can drop a team.
***this post can also apply to the 1579 enrollment Oakland girls in D5
Could not agree more. Reward under achieving big schools and punish over achieving small schools....great plan
I said it so many times. Shooting in that cavernous building and the size of the court. The legs don't have time or the vision in 32 minutes.
This will be interesting…. Harvard Westlake is a .500 team, but has played a major-league schedule, competitive in almost all games. Outlier is Sierra Canyon, who blew them out by some 50.
Of course, Colfax has rolled thru the SJS en route to a 31-2 record.

FWIW, Grossmont's two best players got injured during the game. One in the first half and the other early in the third quarter. Enrollment is typically vastly overrated, especially when playing private schools.
