Both of our live blogs tonight are originating at our sister blog, the Prep Corner.

Here’s the link to the California vs. Washington live blog.

Here’s the link to the Berkeley vs. Deer Valley live blog.

I don’t know how many people know about this site, but Ygnacio Valley has an awesome site with videos of most of their football games. It’s produced by Patrone Wood, the father of the East Bay’s leading rusher, RB Patrone Wood II. It’s really high quality stuff, so I would hazard a guess that it’s best viewed on a high-speed connection.

The Geeks do double-duty, talking NCS football playoffs and taking in some tennis while they’re at it.

Contra Costa Times Prep Sports Staff — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 23:29:14 +0000

Both Geeks are slated to answer all of your NCS Playoff questions today (Thursday, 11/20) at 4 p.m.

We will try and embed the chat right here on the blog, like we did last week. So if you don’t see a link to us on the CCT home page (which is known to happen), feel free to come right back here at 4.

Oh, and bring a friend.

The final week of the regular season is behind us. It’s playoff time!

First things first. Congrats to league champs Clayton Valley (DVAL), De La Salle (EBAL), Campolindo (DFAL), Berkeley (ACCAL), and Encinal (BSAL). Whatever happens in these next few weeks, at least you know you’re already champions.
MY BAD (it was a long, long morning)! Let’s add in those other champions. Pittsburg (BVAL), Washington (MVAL), San Leandro (HAAL), and Salesian (BFL). Everyone deserves praise round here.
And special congrats are due to the two unbeaten teams, Encinal and Clayton Valley. What a season for both teams. It’s a great atmosphere, watching a team finish a season like that. There were more than a few teary eyes at the Clayton win on Saturday.
I was also at the Monte Vista/SRV game and man, did San Ramon come to play. That said, Monte Vista absolutely shot itself in the foot with penalties. Every time I turned around there was a flag on the ground. Great game though as usual by SRV’s Joe Southwick. He was the better quarterback on that night. We could see a rematch next weekend if SRV beats San Leandro.
Alright, my initial playoff impressions. This weekend has the traditional long drives and north versus south matchups. But next weekend is the one I think we can all get excited about. Here are just a few games that could happen: California-Pittsburg, Concord-Clayton Valley, Monte Vista-San Ramon Valley, Foothill-Freedom, Las Lomas-Rancho Cotate, Novato-Piedmont, Ferndale-St. Patrick-St. Vincent. That could be a fun weekend.
I’m told that the Division II meeting was the most contentious but I think in the end, the committee got it right by putting Ygnacio Valley in. That’s most definitely a playoff team.
No news yet on live blogs for this weekend, but I’m working on a plan to hopefully blog on Saturday. We’ll see how it goes.

Alright, not much to say today I guess. The guys on Prep Corner dissected everything pretty well yesterday so if you haven’t checked that out, check it out. I’m not sure where I’m headed this weekend yet, but when I know, you’ll know. See you this weekend.
