WCAL Update

[TheHillZ]

Things continue to go pretty much according to script.

Mitty remained unbeaten atop the WCAL standings, knocking off Sacred Heart Cathedral 69-43. The game was much closer. Sacred Heart trailed by only four late into the third quarter. These two are the class of the league and should see each other again in the WCAL tourney final and perhaps yet again in the CCS open final.

SI topped Valley 40-30 to move into a third place tie with the Warriors. SI led start to finish. It has the easier schedule for the final three league games, so would be expected to finish third.

Strange game at St. Francis. The Lancers were coming off a 30-point demolition of Valley, and a strong showing in a 10 pt loss to Sacred Heart. Presentation was coming off a loss to VC and was winless in league. Not surprisingly, SF led Presentation by 20+ at the half, but Pres cut the lead to single digits before falling 55-43.

Unfortunately, ok maybe fortunately nowadays, there is no WCAL tournament anymore. There used to be some epic battles at Foothill on both the girls and boys side.

Monarch's frosh post, McKenna Wolizcko (6-1), returned last night after missing the last 5 games. Morgan Cheli & Belle Bramer remained at the end of the bench as spectators.

Hah. Showing my age.

So SHC will have to wait till CCS for another shot at Mitty. I know they say it's hard to beat a team three times in a single season, but this might be an exception.

That said, I thought SHC did a very nice job for three quarters last night. They weren't fazed by Mitty's patented pressure, and they weren't giving Mitty easy second chance points. Wheels just feel off in the fourth.

SH is probably one Imari Thomas away from being able to beat Mitty by a slight margin. Otherwise, like yesterday they had to play a perfect game which they did for 3 quarters but ran out of gas in the 4th. Margin for error is slim.
