Game ended with 3 minutes left in 4th quarter due to what appears to be a very serious injury of a Gregori High player. Final score was 61-35 Downey. Hoping Gregori player will be ok. Terribly sad way to end a game.
After tonight’s games, including St. Mary’s 35-7 vs crosstown rival Lincoln-Stockton, Calpreps ranks St. Mary’s as #45 and Rocklin drops to #47 in the state rankings. Sure, Rocklin has a convincing win over common opponent Bishop Manogue and St. Mary’s lost their very first game of the season to Bishop Manogue. Central Catholic also beat Bishop Manogue convincingly. St. Mary’s easily beat Central Catholic after losing to Bishop Manogue. St. Mary’s also has a convincing victory over Marin Catholic. St. Mary’s only other loss was a close game to state ranked #8 DLS, in which St. Mary’s had the lead in the 3Q before losing momentum with a fumble by their QB. No other team has provided undefeated DLS a tougher game than St. Marys losing 35-38 to the #1 team in NorCal. Also note that Calpreps ranks SJS D2 playoff teams Grant and Manteca as #59 and #65 respectively.
I envision SJS D2 semi-finals could potentially be 4th seed Manteca traveling to #1 seed St. Mary’s and #3 seed Grant traveling to #2 Rocklin. There is no home field advantage for the SJS D2 section championship game should St. Mary’s face Rocklin again, making the #1 and #2 seed somewhat irrelevant.
Yes, people debate the #1 vs #2 spot way too much. Of course, there is some prestige to being #1, but the only advantage is getting to choose the jersey color for the championship game.
There is a difference in #3 vs #4. To my mind, the #4 spot might be the 2nd worst on the board. It gets a bye week to get cold (I don't like the bye), then gets a game against a closely-rated team who has probably just gotten in a really good workout against a competent but not truly dangerous team. If the #4 seed wins that match-up, it's straight to the Lion's Den to meet #1, followed by a likely match-up with either #2 or #3.
The worst spot is #8. The first round is against a similar opponent, then it is straight to the meat grinder.
#5, #6, and #7 probably have better match-ups and get to keep that playoff focus throughout the run.
#9-#12 get to play the underdog where winning just the opening round game is an acknowledged accomplishment.
Just my opinion. All of that is predicated on the assumption that the playoff committee has seeded the tournament competently and the teams are ordered accurately. Sometimes, there are advantageous match-ups to be had in terms of playing style or familiarity that make the actual seeding number irrelevant. No matter where a team sits, they have to play their best game and beat the opponent in front of them, so good luck to all!.

Pretty disappointed by Rocklin last night. They were a mess in that rain and didn't come to play. OR basically battled the elements better and defensively made the right adj. OR is playing very well and I think they will end up playing Folsom in D1 section champ again....
