logan thinks, not, that they are good . just want to play them to show them who is better. head royce wow, i know we can beat them were 5-0 in there d-3 league.neither team has played anyone tough. los lomas cant get out of there division with a 11-4 overall record. its about competing not hiding in your division. thats how you get better by competing.

I understand that Las Lomas and Alameda are in your division, but why Logan and Head Royce? who are you trying to defend? I completely agree that the EBAL deserves the most respect, there are the best league in the East Bay. But the amount of respect that they recieve is questionable, there are teams from every league that can beat their lowerer ranked schools and compete with their top 2 schools, but those schools are not getting recognized because the talent in their leagues are not as concentrated as the EBAL’s. And as for asking Northgate, you better just go out there and get them because they have let me know that NCS is going to be a disappointment because they want to be in division 1 since division 2 is going to be a cake walk. So yes, please bring it on…lol.

Well not for Washington, we beat them in 3 on thursday. Team really pulled it together for the league senior night, and our official senior night is against a DIII opponent St. Joes on tuesday. So i think we are establishing that record quite well during the end of the season, we are on a 3 game win streak looking to lock up a NCS bid that will let us host at least one game this year.

Hey Moreau_Setter,
Don’t let yourself get caught up in all the background noise (e.g. rankings, random opinions, etc.). Just play your game, establish your record, and then your coach will make her pitch at the NCS at-large & seeding meeting. You did that the last two years, you can do it again.

MVAL is gaining respect. Moreau won Div IV twice in a row. Washington made it to the Div I semi’s last year. MSJ is in play this year, and maybe there’s still a shot for Logan or Washington.

It’s not over till it’s over.

Strong words from Moreau. To defend ourselves a little, we beat CPS in 3 no questions asked. We also took down Lowell. Most of our losses come from the Deer Valley tournament in which we played Logan, Foothill, Clayton Valley, all in the morning when our juniors (4/6 starters), were taking the SAT. Later on in the tournament, when our juniors came back, we defeated College Park and finished ahead of Logan. Again we finished low in the nor-cal tournament because we had to play Northgate in pool play. After that loss we are now on a 15 game win streak. But again these are only unofficial rankings, I just felt HRS needed a bit of defending.

BTW, I hope it goes without saying that the same thought process applies to guessing who will make the final 8 in Div II and Div III.

Coaches polls / ranking are just that, nothing more, but fun to watch. It’s hard when it mixes Divisions, yet it’s nice to see the overall list.

More interesting to me is what will happen with the NCS Div I berths. Deer Valley, MSJ and an EBAL team should get automatic berths. Given 8 NCS slots, that leaves 5 at-large selections. It sounds like EBAL in the past has been limited by NCS to 3 at-large berths max. If so, that’d leave 2 not from EBAL. Who would they be? I think College Park, Logan, and Washington. Any others?

I said it since the beginning, and mission continues to rise in the ranks!! But I also said that Washington and Logan are deserving teams too. And yeah congrats to Head Royce but honestly they lost to us in 3 I believe in the beginning of the season and that was with an incomplete team. Even though I’ve have more recently seen them play, they still couldn’t touch Washington and Logan would more than likely beat them in three as well.
No respect!!!! for the MVAL, with the new club teams that have formed and developed in the last couple of years in the Mission Valley area the gap between us and the “dominant” tri-valley is closing. The EBAL really has 7 out of 8 teams ranked come on those last couple teams are just losing to some good teams so they get a spot, Moreau can do that, I do not care what league any team is in but if your record is multiple games under .500 you do not deserve a ranking.
I guess the ranking are just rankings whatever but well see in NCS, you EBAL coaches who vote for no one but your teams….oh wait half of the EBAL doesn’t even qualify to go to the NCS meeting because their record is so bad. AHHHHH!
Hey Diablo 18-1 you know I’m right. And I know you are reading this, can’t wait till club starts again because i can’t take this shizzz
