the mack srv game can do nothing to impact riordan. saint francis beat mack by way more than riordan the game was never close. and everybody already has riordan solidly number 3 in the west catholic league behind serra and saint francis. so number 3 they will remain until the games get played in person.
I was thinking a big win by SRV should strengthen SI's position.
A Mack win will strengthen both SF and AR's SOS and weakens SI's SOS. But it won't impact the current rankings IMO. Now a Pitt win might move the needle for AR - but that is not likely to happen.
Hmmm?
Judging by SRV’s 56-14 win over Mack last night.
Or Mack (0-3) just doesn’t have the horses this year?
Bishop O’Dowd was overrated to start the season along with many other teams.
yes they are i was just pointing out that mack clymonds beat them because that guy said they were 0-3.
I didn’t say 0-4. MaxPreps has them at 0-3. Perhaps the BOD game was omitted from the records?
get off max poops and read the newspaper. support local journalism and you might actually get informed in the process.
The problem is local journalism is biased. Hence, why Mack, Bishop ODowd, Valley Christian, Menlo Atherton, and others were all overrated being ranked high to start the season.
Some of your comments have some nice content, but most are pathetic and this is one.
I have colleagues and/or business partners who are Bells alum who went to the school in the 90s and 2k. They are not happy. They typically donate annually, but are concerned about the state of both the football and basketball programs. Kids transferring out used to be unheard of but the Bells top WR is now at Branham. 2 of its best hoops players have transferred the past 2 years. Both to WCAL rivals VC and St. Francis. Just different times, expanded demographics and focus on just academics instead of the student-athlete.
Sorry. Not sure how I tied you into that post. My bad
yes I know who goes to the school. do you know how the school got the profile it got or how it got the large enroll mint and endow mint in the first place? how the school grew from nothing to the largest boys school in the reason? what got the school to the point where it has a years long waiting list?
League play starts next week. It is still difficult to get a read on Riordan even after 3 games. They are amazing, inconsistent, inspiring, disappointing all depending on the the game you watch. So here is another round rankings from my perspective.
The Riordan @ SI game will be telling. I see SI making a push for the #2 spot in the WCAL.
@FBAddict, good assessment going into WCAL next weekend. Spot on re Riordan as volatile - and I see that as the Crusaders have the highest ceiling as they have not yet put together a complete game. There's been glimpses, but injuries to 4 starters and having slow starts against St. Bonaventure and Pitt didn't help. In both those losses Riordan was down at times by 3 scores and had the firepower to comeback only to lose those games in the final minutes. With Lawson and Nash out, Riordan found a silver lining in its run game with Jones piling up yards behind a huge OL against stout defenses from SB and Pitt. Jones is expected to get additional rb help with a promising soph who's been on the mend. Sr. Dubrinwy, jr. Cynai Thomas and soph Wes Winn have gotten more receptions the past 2 games. With Lawson and Nash returning will make the offense more potent. Btw -Serra had the best SOS (70.8) with Riordan at second 35.3, St. Francis right behind at 33.7, SI at 25.8, Mitty @ 2.9, VC at 18.7, SHC at -8.9 and Bellarmine at 14.2. Of course, none of this matters as all these teams will be facing each other in the coming weeks and most likely into CCS. WCAL has not seen this potential parity in a few years. Can't wait til next weekend!
Sorry you lost me with the “mint” out the gate. Just wow. Enroll mint, endow mint, mint chocolate chip, thin mints, now follow this next one, pepper mint moist and plump patties. You know the super size two for a dollar ones at the corner store across from the US mint. Please confirm if you are a alum of any Catholic school, cause that school should immediteMINT shut the hell down
I must have hit a nerve, truth does that,…I pointed out the amount of AP class placement in SI & #WeR, and I just listed the amount of under graduate diversity in post HS studies at SI & #WeR. If that data is incorrect post a response to clarify. But as usual @Irish_Cheers rambles ( you don’t know jack,..), if a statement were made about SHC students and @Irish_Cheers read that. As usual his reading comprehension is lacking as much as his knowledge of HS prep sports or projecting his intellect on SHC’s student body😳🤣😳🤣
“after a Zero wins of league games in back2back years… it is hard to recruit the type of Impact student/athlete to build a successful program”
Successful Head Coaches are almost always on campus teachers. They actually become part of the campus community and they know how to coach (teach!). Which are sadly becoming more rare in the Bay Area but still relatively coming in Sac/Valley.
I don’t think #WeR was ever IN true conversations about closure. Maybe a relocation to the old Serramonte HS site to open up availability, but putting the right processes together achieved both.
True, I would never counter point one of the best board’s guru’s,…
I challenge that Paradigm, the Varsity coaches at TheR are a mixture of on campus and off campus,…the right person(s) is More Important🏐🏀🏈😎
one school out of thousands, that does not win championships in any sport, does not an example make. bro.
I wouldn’t be shocked if Salesian is the next school to board students. And if I am not mistaken my alum SHC has one brother left, might be 2, but pretty sure it is one in the brothers house. Salesians house is in Berkeley.
Let me clarify something on the front in,…you are “Not like Me”. So the Bro verbiage, you can put a hold on😎
here is data.
Only 2 WCAL teams can claim a WCAL title this decade. But I get it, time to put up or shut up.
Okay,…since you want to be salty😳🤣🤣
so you admit that you don’t care about winning. enough said. and that my friend is why nobody takes riordan serious.
