Only the latter. The former still in a boot on sidelines. Riordan vs. Mitty. Oh, my. Get out your abacus. Pull up a chair. Settle in for three hours of offense.
WCAL 2024-25 SEASON
- Thread starter Niklas227
- Start date
It’s pretty amazing VC is doing this without a real QB. Stout and opportunistic scoring defense and a one-two punch at running back. That Machado can really coach his butt off.
Let’s be real. Any DB as wire-thin as Wiley and there are those on many teams so not singling him out, is going to make a business decision and not take on Kingston 1 v 1. But I give it to that SI defense, 9 guys (not the cornerbacks) played an extremely physical game. You better hope your two WR Polk and Shelton aren’t too shaken up. They looked like they had to go into the infirmary after the hits they took.
He’s a freshman, but has played football since he was a pee wee with the same VC players. Very poised and doesn’t make mistakes.
For sure! His lack of mistakes is a huge part of VCs success so far. When your highlight reel is basically hand offs, QB power, and play action, its hard to screw up. Even for a freshman. Does he play any other position? He's probably better suited to be middle LB. Seeing a QB that size brings images of JaMarcus Russell to mind.
Lets see if VC can play spoiler and down the cherries.
I don’t think the WCAL is weak this year. I think de la Salle is better than they’ve been in over a decade. I think this DLS team could actually beat Bosco, not mater dei, but Bosco. Saint Francis has historically good running back and serra is good too, but young. They’re going to slay next year. I can’t wait to see what DLS does in state. Unfortunately, I think they’re going to be matched up with mater dei and they don’t have the guns for them
Open DLS vs Mater dei
D1AA Nor cal Pittsburg vs Folsom So Cal Lincoln vs sierra canyon
D1A Nor cal Rocklin vs St Francis So cal Clovis East vs Granite hills

No if the season ended right now Serra would play Soquel and Riordan would play St Francis
Serra and Riordan haven’t yet played each other. They will in 2 weeks @ Riordan.
Great points. I think DLS has the most dynamic run game of the three teams you listed (SF, DLS, Serra), and it's bolstered by their discipline, coaching & that beautiful explosive line snap technique. I love what Walsh has done by infusing some more pro-style packages. Even though Serra is having a bit of a down-year by their standards, they will be in just about any game because their offense is dynamic enough.
Not defending Regalia, I was merely pointing out facts. Sorry if the truth offends you. Sue me. Or blow me, I’m cool with either.
Regalia had more winning seasons in the his last 10 years than Riordan had playoff appearance in that same amount of time lol. Hell, I think Regalia won more games in his second season (not by his second season) than any of the six previous coaches before Ravipati ever did before the got canned LMAO! And the fact remains that Regalia stepped down. While he may not be a legend, he sure as hell was an SI legend and his job was not remotely in jeopardy. Had he wanted to remain coaching, Vandermade would still be in SoCal.
Everything I’m saying is fact, there’s no debate anywhere. My whole argument was that SI’s Football Program was much more stable when Lenny took it over than Riordan’s was when Adhir took it over.
Damn you went Spanish, well played. By the way how is SI and Riordan Soccer doing.
Unfortunately, I would have to agree with your take on our MVP QB Hummel. Throwing for 14 yards in a big game against SF is unacceptable.
Hence, why he’s going to a D3 school and St. Francis’ MVP is going to D1 Power BYU.
Hopefully, I’m hoping SI gets back on track this Friday with a win against VC.
Those happen, just step out of the room quickly🤣🤫🤣🤫🤣
But righteous apology to follow the smell😎🤙
You asked about soccer…
I was in grade school but I was there. I agree. Buck and a young Jaha too.
Don’t forget that ‘85 team that gave Stevie Thompson’s Crenshaw team a run for their money. Newman, Munk, Mullins, Racklin and Peed.

SHC was Independent when Jamar Sheppard was there. For some idiotic reason, the CCS didn't allow them in the playoffs.
I thought you knew better Arm? SH won CCS Open in 2023, go back slightly further and won CCS Open in 2019. Id say thats good yah?
VC @ SI stream here: https://baosn.tv/
SI, really awful look with the black jerseys. Would look better if they went with black helmets.

The black uniforms looked great! I’ll take the W, but we can’t keep winning like this. My nervous system is shot.
It seems our WCAL rankings are pretty well set for the league season. All teams this week won their games as expected. And all games were on Friday night. There is always a possibly of an unexpected change in future rankings but most surprises seem behind us now.
Here's my week 5 rankings.
1. SF - The Lancers' dominance was seen against SHC last night. Most of SHC's scores were gained after SF developed a 35 point lead. The Lancers still have VC and AR left on their schedule.
2. SI - The Wildcats implemented their trademark strong 4th quarter strength to overtake VC's lead they held for most of the game. Half time defensive adjustments changed the course of the game. SI have SHC and AM teams remaining.
3. JS - The Padres was not challenged by the Bells. They still have AR and VC next on their schedule.
4. VC - The Warriors had a good first half against SI. But they could not maintain their lead during SI's 4th quarter onslaught. They were scoreless in the second half and their defense couldn't keep up in the fourth quarter. They have SF and JS remaining.
5. AR - The Crusaders' offense were firing on all cylinders for their defeat of AM. They have JS and SF still ahead.
6. SHC - The Irish gained most of their points after SF already had a sizable lead. The Irish have SI and BCP left on the schedule.
7. AM - The Monarchs had a hard time stopping AR from scoring in this lopsided game. The schedule holds BCP and SI in the future.
8. BCP - Enough said.

Their black hoops uniforms are nice. These football ones just looked really cheap and unimaginative. Hummel played must better and he had some nice passes that were quick slants and not just his predictable 10 yard outs. 2nd half was no contest. VC offensively couldnt do anything. As I noted before, VC doesnt have a real QB. Was there no junior or sophomore backup QB from last year who gives them more than what the freshman gives?
I recall the QB that really could have helped the Warriors transferred to Logan and is now at El Cerrito. Craft?
Its sort of crazy that VC hasnt really had a 3 or 4 star QB there given they had top WR talent in Collin Johnson and Jurrion Dickey.

Riordan's Defense is figuring it out. Mitty does not have the horses to match up with anyone other than Bellarmine but they
"The Black Cherries"
I wonder why the hell they don't just go with Blue instead

Apparently, it's a manly thing, an intimidating hue that denotes fearsome, warrior-like behavior. At least in theory.
I know in the early 90s, the football and basketball teams donned their SI blue color for their jerseys and mid 90s and since they have went with their SI red. ... Its possible they've stayed away from blue since 4 other league members have blue as school colors.
In the 1890's, they wore black and yellow. (No, I wasn't there to see it...).
@Irish_Cheers?
Do you think before you hit send? Seriously!,
It seems many want to be articulate as a few known board guru’s ( @colhenrylives @ArmchairGOAT @FBAddict and let’s include @Niklas227 [this season]
But it seems like many are going out of their lane this season too
JustMyOpinionICouldZbeWrong
Maybe the guy who named it was color difficient.
RE:
"Do you think before you hit send? Seriously!,"
Re: "But try to aim higher and reach for @colhenrylives, @FBAddict or a couple of others status to be meaningful or add value,..otherwise think before you hit save🤓🧐🤫"
Better question: Do you think at all, James Warren Jones, Jr.?

Here's a question?
Does any North California team really want to make it to the State Championship game against Mater Dei?
I selfishly, would be okay with SI losing the Open Division round dropping down to D1A or D1AA and winning from there.
