   CV up by 9 with 1:48 to go in reg., up by 5 with 39 sec. to go. 13-28 from foul line. I guess that’s what happens when you’re not used to being in important gms. Possibly CV should play a tougher preseason schedule. May not be back here for a long time. HAAL was down this yr., and CV is losing its best players.Quite impressive for ist yr. coach though.

   No game throughout the course of the regular season can match the NCS semifinal game.

   Mike,

   I disagree to some extent…I can only speak for the EBAL, but the AV-Foot, SRV-MV games and starting next year, any game with DLS, especially MV-DLS, has every bit the tension and excitment of the NCS semifinals. For instance, there are a great amount of kids – the doors are shut by the start of the JV game for those rivalries, who don’t care about NCS — they just want their school to beat the rival. Send a Foothill kid to the line with the game on the line against Amador and that’s pressure like no other. They make the free throws and they are school heroes to a large amount of kids. Miss them and everyone will remember at school the next day…

   From the team perspective, NCS is bigger because the finalist both go to NorCal, but the school pressure is far greater…

   20 years from now, kids will remember the rivalry games far more than anything else. This from someone who walked that line in the Tri-Valley almost 30 years ago.

   I way more remember beating down Foothill than going running through the postseason – a 6-0 win over DLS in the EBAL-CAL (catholic athletic league) soccer playoffs…

   CV vs. NM “Best high school Bball game ive ever seen!”

   it would have been better if CV won but it was still an amazing game!

   Well, I played baseball for Logan and I could care less how many times we took it to Newark Memorial on the diamond. It was all about NCS and winning a championship. I will never forget the day we took an 11-3 lead into the fifth inning against De La Salle in the semifinals and then lost. Way more important than any league title. But maybe that is because Logan is expected to win the MVAL. The EBAL is more competitive so it could be different.
