Serra too much for the Bells. Turned off the livestream when it hit 28-0. Watching a good one between Folsom and GB, tied 7-7 with 26 seconds left in the half. DLS 28 BOD 3 is another mismatch (you think). And USC down 3 to Washington State.

You were saying Rmbr26 ?Serra 35-0 at the 1/2 - complete domination!
You were saying Rmbr26 ?
Most lopsided Serra win vs. Bells since series began just after WWII.
Mr. Direct did call it saying the score would be similar to last years' 48-13 win. While I expected Serra to win and had them as my 2nd top pick in the weekly pick'em contest I really didn't see this whitewash coming.
I guess its ingrained in me to have some "fear" of the Bells due to their decades of success & dominance over Serra. The atmosphere has dramatically changed under Coach Walsh the last 2 Serra wins at the Bells expense were eye-opening. According to what I've read the Bells smaller roster has had a host of injuries including QB and was without a number of players. This was also not your "typical" Bells team as the execution was lacking and numerous penalties. The Bells were seriously in trouble at end of the 1rst quarter being down 21-0 and the game was over by the 1/2 with Serra pulling starters in the 3rd. With SF's win and VC's expected win today the top tier 3 teams are solidly in place with the other 5 teams considerably below them [with both Mitty or Bells possible upset victims still by the SF teams].
Mitty 43, Riordan 0
Serra 48, Bellarmine 0
St. Francis 45, Sacred Heart Cathedral 17
Are you underestimating Mitty at this point?
Mitty is clearly the 4th best team and a notch below the big 3 of Serra, VC, and St. Francis. I do think they have a punchers chance against SF and VC.
[QUOTE="colhenrylives, post: 175427, member: 968"]Outrageous, totally unreal prediction: There will be another tie for the WCAL title. Oh, that's right. A title tie is the WCAL norm.
[B said:"ncpfan[/B], post: 175461, member: 1114"]Haven't seen it noted anywhere, but Bellarmine is battling a lot of injuries. They have not had Cade Hall the WCAL DL of the Year and a D1 player since the Clovis game with an ankle injury. They've been down about another 6 starters the last few games.
Not sure the extent of the injuries but it's obviously affected their play significantly since they beat M-A and Clovis. Are they a top 3 WCAL team when healthy? No....but they could be a team that gets better if they get guys back over the next few weeks. The flip side is they could continue to get banged up in the WCAL and get picked off by one of the city schools.
My error. Pitt did have its 2nd string QB and was without its best lineman to pull out the road win. The Padres are the team to beat in CCS. I would like to see a Milpitas-Serra CCS title matchup. There would be so many storylines!The serra vs Pitt game came down to the last play of the game. It was not a blow out.
ncpfan - here is a segment from one of my posts yesterday regarding the Bells team.
"According to what I've read the Bells smaller roster has had a host of injuries including QB and was without a number of players. This was also not your "typical" Bells team as the execution was lacking and numerous penalties."
Even so with the players missing due to injuries the Bells' were simply over-matched in this game. Serra has a deeper more talented roster this season. So yes injuries and missing players such as Cade Hall can be sorely missed especially on a smaller roster, but odds are the Bells' would not have beaten Serra this year with those injured players. Serra returned all its best skill players except one [Leki Nunn], & he was replaced by the talented #2 from last year Luke Bottari at QB who is currently the leading passer in the WCAL.
I agree with you ncpfan that if those players can return and Coach Janda makes adjustments as he always does then the Bells could make some kind of run in the playoffs later in the season.
Here's a question: Has Serra defeated a truly strong team yet in 2017?
