Love the blog and the break down BUT …just because the DeLasalle bandwagon has the loudest horns and the most clowns revolving around it doesn’t make it the best circus.The elephants are at Monte Vista this year and they will will beat them at home and at Delasalle this year.
Speaking of the DFAL, who is going to score for Acalanes now that the only offensive threat( Chalak) graduated? I hope the keeper has a good punt.

I love it when people look at the first pre-season game and decide a teams success for the year! Only thing a loss means is they aren’t going undefeated.

For all those historians out there, Northgate lost to Dougherty Valley last year and then finished strong for a #8 seed in NCS.

I knew that, I just had the Amador Valley lacrosse coach’s name in my mind for some reason.
I fixed it.

Hi Matt,

Rory’s last name is Gentry at CVHS. He is one heck of a coach
and love’s taking on the challenge to build a great program. It should be
very competitive in the DVAL this year.

BVAL- Matt I believe Antioch should win this league… All of their players play club soccer with some good teams. Pittsburg is too young this year but will be a great team in the next few years. Don’t know much about Deer Valley. They always have a good team so they should compete. DVAL- It’s all going to be close… After a 2-0 lost for Northgate vs dougherty Valley I wouldn’t consider them a darkhorse. Haven’t heard enough about Clayton Valley to make them favorites. I will give the edge to College Park. With the darkhorse being a young and talented Ygnacio Valley. YV returns most of their players on offence and has a young defence. Concord is another team that’s very young that can surprise a lot of people this year.
