Does Castro Valley have a chance at NCS? Are they DI? They beat Arroyo today 3-2.

Hey CoachD…I agree with your comments about Cal High this season. You have to credit the coaching staff for putting the right lineups and pitchers in. You also have to credit the young men for coming up in the big games. At the start of the year, the feeling with the parents was that we have the talent to compete against any team outside of the EBAL. We felt that we would struggle against the top pitchers in the league. Well, we have exceeded expectations. The young men have all the confidence in the world against any team they face. Overall, it has been a very good year. This week will be a challenge with MV, SRV and Livermore….It does not get any easier in this league.

There’s still a few more weeks left but Arroyo beat College Park 12-1 and beat Hayward twice 25-4, 7-5. Northgate lost twice to College Park and once to Hayward. I think Arroyo should be #6.

My NCS DII Rankings:
1 – Clayton Valley
2 – Casa Grande
3 – Alameda
4 – Cardinal Newman
Top 4 get a bye…
5 – Montgomery
6 – Northgate
7 – Arroyo
8 – Rancho Cotate
9 – Concord
10 – Redwood
11 – Petaluma
12 – Eureka

Hopefully the NCS will not have all of the teams in close proximity (i.e. CV – Concord – Northgate, Alameda – Arroyo) play each other first before traveling out of the area. I want to see the East Bay teams play some of the North Bay teams in the first round.

No offense to Cal players when I say that they are winning more games than anyone expected. They did the same thing a few years ago when they won a Co-championship in a league with teams that had much better talent. The new coaching staff these past few years has sure been doing a whole lot with not quite the talent they have had in their past championship years.

Just A Fan….DeLaSalle did beat Cal 9-0 last week. Cal has lost 3 games in league. Monte Vista, SRV and DLS. The beat AV twice, Foothill twice and Granada and Livermore once….My feeling is that they are playing well above expectations but have a fairly weak hitting club. This EBAL is tough to figure out. Today against Monte Vista will be interesting. Monte Vista is deep in pitching but do not score a lot of runs. If Cal’s pitchers can keep it close, who knows….

How does MAX PREPS rate a team? Do they have a “BCS” Computer ranking system with complex formulas? OH NO!!!! Wonder how they do it since they probably have minimal to no on-site coverage of games…

I hear 4 of 6 NCS Championship games will be at the Oakland Coliseum..
