It's been that way for years now. For a while, Valley Christian only had a Frosh "A" team. Now they have both "A" and "B" teams. The girls still have only one Frosh team.Why do they have two frosh teams? Does every wcal have two?
I think Riordan is still a year away (hopefully Im wrong). Id go:Happy New Year! Well, non-league is winding down and I wanted to revisit everyone's take on the upcoming 2019 WCAL season that starts Tuesday and NorCal basketball landscape in general. Below is my updated picks. Also, my initial WCAL favorites back in November are below. Look forward to everyone's take!
Updated 2019 WCAL Picks:
1. Riordan-very good nonleague schedule, improving and getting healthy week to week, Coach Curtin goes up to 11 deep. Could there more in its pipeline?
2. Mitty-toughest SOS and bring back 5 Varsity players
3. St. Ignatius-well coached, tough non-league, lots of height, lacking the firepower from the past few seasons. Sense of urgency as the 'Cats will need to be .500 in league to qualify for postseason.
4. Bellarmine-great record, weak non-league, well-coached and some key returnees and a strong JV team to fill in some of its spots.
5. Serra-Rapp coached, Rees back, 6-9 transfer and McDonald return. not much of a challenging non-league schedule including a loss to an average Miramonte team yesterday.
6. SHC - loss to Branson made me change the Irish to a darkhorse, but out of the cellar. Looking forward to the 1/10 game @ The Crusader Forum
7. St. Francis-weak non-league. only WCAL team to lose to a CCS team (Santa Cruz). waiting for some players to return...
8. Valley Christian-cupcake non-league; losing big to SJND @ home. If Tovar is motivated the entire game, he could make a difference. Guard play must improve.
My initial picks in November
1. Mitty
2. Riordan
3. SI
4. Serra
5. St. Francis
6. Bellarmine
7. SHC
8. Valley Christian
I think Riordan is still a year away (hopefully Im wrong). Id go:
1. Mitty
2. Riordan
3. Serra
4. St. Francis
5-7 Bells/SI/SH whichever order you prefer
8. Valley (competitive though, especially on the hilltop)

So far, only announced game to be streamed tonight:Can someone graciously post the available streams for today's league games ? Thanks in advance!
WCAL Opening Night Games (all games at 7:30pm):
- SHC @ Mitty - great barometer for the Irish. Also, see how Mitty's tough SOS plays out for them in WCAL play . Winner: Mitty
- St. Francis @ Riordan - Crusaders need to make a statement if it is to make a run at the title. SF had a few of its players out in their upset loss against Santa Cruz...Winner: Riordan
- SI @ Bellarmine - SI had the tough non-league and now has to go .500 to qualify for the postseason. Does this prepare them for league? Bells had a so-so SOS with only one loss. Most interesting game tonight IMO. Winner: SI in a mild upset
- VC @ Serra - 6-9 Tovar vs Serra's 6-9 Shuman in his debut tonight? The "Jungle" advantage and Coach Rapp D prevail. Winner: Serra
My broadcast is delayed. Is it working for you?
Riordan stream looks great!My broadcast is delayed. Is it working for you?
Couldn’t believe this was a League game. Down year for WCAL?69-39 Riordan Final
Can anyone comment how Tovar matched up with Serra transfer 6-9 Muti Shuman tonight? They have to be the biggest players in the league.What's the deal with Tovar @VC? Physical tools check alot of boxes. Motor? Focus? I don't see him often but am always suprised with lack of production.
Also as an WCAL outsider, I'm very disappointed in SI. Seems like a team that peaks in June then the wheels fall off when it matters.
Shuman outscored Tovar 4-2. Obvious that Shuman will need to get his legs under him and get a feel for the WCAL but he is huge. Someone is going to get concussed by one of his screens. I think Serra will bring him along slowly as they prefer to pickup full court the entire game and that is not the big guy’s strength. He does offer a completely different look for the PadresCan anyone comment how Tovar matched up with Serra transfer 6-9 Muti Shuman tonight? They have to be the biggest players in the league.
