Coach Curtain keeps getting farther in CIF. The R had a good chance of winning state/D1 in '20. They were just getting hot when the season was cut short due to Covid. Remember it took Salesian's Mellis a second to figure out the Open Div.
The one thing the head coach at Roosey pointed out in his post game interview was that Riordan's D broke down after 10 seconds during most possessions. He saw this on film and a few other things as well.
I agree with most on this thread that no one from Nor Cal was beating the Top 5 So Cal teams this season in the 'Ship. However, I believe Riordan could have made it a little closer with the talent they had. But I also believe it doesn't take away from a great season they had. They'll be tough again next season too.
