There have been some great comments this year and lots of prognosticating. Here goes my scores and predictions for this weekend’s Playoff Games and Look for Upsets based on the strengths of the Teams looking to pull of the upsets, and the Hidden Weaknesses of the Purported Favorite from a Weaker League in 2009:

Division 1 -

College Park 24 vs. Amador Valley 17

Losing their starting QB and middle LB is too much to overcome as the Dons dream season grinds to a halt.

DLS by 50 over American

Monte Vista 31 vs. Heritage 21

Patriots play better than their first visit to Alamo earlier this year, but Mustang QB Nottingham throws for 375 yards and 4 Td’s.

Deer Valley 40 vs. Newark 10

This game will be over by halftime as Kristoff Williams gears up for a showdown with DLS in the Finals.

Division 2 -

Eureka 30 vs. Pinole Valley – 17

Loggers are solid, big and well coached, and on that sloppy nasty field will be right at home. Pinole is not big, but they are fast and well coached. However, after that long trip up north, it will be an even longer drag back home. They should have beaten El Cerrito earlier this year, that loss cost Pinole dearly.

Montomgery 31 vs. Mt. Diablo 17

Congratulations to the Red Devils for joining the playoff dance after a 30 year hiatus. Excellent job by their kids and staff in a dire financial situation. Montgomery is good and so is MD, but not good enough.

Division 3 -

Encinal 50 vs. Sonoma Valley 7

Jets are primed, pumped and ready to crush SV. Next week’s game vs. Fortuna will be a hard-hitting old school football game, Jets hoping to remain healthy for it.

Acalanes 17 vs. Analy 14

Acalanes got an early season holiday gift from the NCS playoff selection committee in an overrated ranking and a Home game in Round One. But, Analy has the 2nd string QB at the helm and lost earlier this year to a sub-par Sonoma team. Acalanes by default in this one.

El Cerrito 28 vs. Tamalpais 14

Tam is improved and the horrible wet field tonight will slow down EC duo of fast playmakers. However, the Gauchos are looking to make a statement in a decisive first round win at home, before moving onto 2nd clip.

Healdsburg 17 vs. Miramonte 10

Greyhounds are hurting and have not won since the day before’s Hallow’s Eve. After getting banged up by Petaluma in final game, the Hounds are hoping to be more bite than bark. Lucily, Miramonte is a shell of its greater years recently and they cannot throw the ball well enough to scare the Hounds defense.

Saturday Games:

Division 1 -

Pittsburg 28 vs. San Ramon Valley 10

Losing their starting QB killed the Wolves chances of upsetting a fired up Pitt team that has lost some very close games this year. San Ramon had a good year and lost to good teams. Pitt is getting hot, San Ramon is not. Pitt and it could be even worse than my guess.

San Leandro 28 vs. Berkeley 17

Pirates should send a bouquet of Fall Flowers with a Round Trip ticket to the Bahamas to Coach Alameda of Pinole Valley, after they Exposed the complete lack of a passing attack by the Berkeley Yellow Jackets. I am a huge fan of how Coach Carter has turned things around in B-town. But, too much firepower by the Pirates spells the end of the road for Berkeley.

Foothill 31 vs. Logan 30

This will be a fantastic game featuring top QB Mannion and the speedy playmakers of Logan on a cold and dry field by Saturday night. Track meet and the last team with the football wins. Falcon Coach Sweeney will have his team executing well and look for a killer Trick play to go for a TD.

Cal High 27 vs. Washington 24

Even though they beat Cal in the opener, the Huskies have softened a bit and collapsed vs. Logan in their league title showdown. Cal has weathered the storm to an less-than-wanted 5-5 season, but they got a lucky break by the Behind Closed Doors No Explanation NCS Playoff Selection Committee, and Got a Lucky Home Game. Cal is above average but at home they are a field goal better than Washington.

Concord 31 vs. Clayton Valley 28

Rematch Weekend continues and initially I thought about picking the Ugly Eagles to stage the Upset. However, since the game is on Saturday night, it wil be dry enough to let the Concord Gungslinging QB air it out well enough to win again at home.

Las Lomas 40 vs. Hayward 21

The 2009 Knights have had Two Seasons in One – the first half of the year when they stunk it up, and the 2nd half when they got hot or woke up from their slumber. Hanging more than 60-points on Campo was a nice warm up before the show begins. The Farmers have speed but I am going with LL at home in the Upset.

Ygnacio Valley 28 vs. Alameda 14

The Warriors could have won out for a better seed in the playoffs, but they nixed things up a bit. Alameda is ripe to get beat and the YV team will handle them after halftime. Look for a big game by Patrone Woods.

Alhambra 21 vs. Bishop ODowd 16

It seems like Coach Perenon does not trust Place Kickers often enough and it cost him in their Tie game vs. Alameda earlier this year. Why does that matter? Because playoffs come down to every point that counts and not getting enough 3-pointers on the board vs. the Dogs will cost them in the end in Martinez.

Fortuna 30 vs. Campolindo 14

Campolindo had no business getting this high of a ranking but Again the No Reasons Why NCS Playoff Selection Committee gaffed and gave Campo the 9th slot. However, it backfired and now the Cougars must trek up north and get hammered by a Fortuna team that will run over and through the Courgars weaker defense. Campo goes home and Fortuna gets ready to play Encinal in Round Two in Alameda.

Piedmont 30 vs. Novato 27

What? Having predicted a handful of upsets it should be clear the Highlanders got railroaded by the playoff committee at 13th seed. Piedmont QB Cragie had a fine year, and the weaker Marin League has only two very good teams this year, Marin Catholic and Novato. This will be a serious test for the Hornet secondary, and they won’t get a passing grade, or a rematch with Encinal as they look past Piedmont.

Berean Christian 27 vs. Justin Siena 21

The Braves are a shell of their former greatness. BC is hoping to make a hot run deep into the playoffs. JS will battle tough for 2 quarters and then run out of gas in Walnut Creek on the road. BC plays solid and get the job done.

Cloverdale 28 vs. Valley Christian 21

Valley Christian is handpicking kids from Castro Valley, Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, Tracy, etc., and they have stockpiled a wealth of talent, all being coached by outstanding Coach Parella and NFL Veterans. But, they are one year away from dominating, and after getting Homered by the Refs in Cloverdale, it will be a Cloverdale win because they are very good too.

Since this correspondent wasn’t included in the pick em, I’ll throw in my two cents. I’ll go with most of the consensus, but I’ll take San Leandro over Berkeley, tempted to take Washington over Cal too.
And I’ll go with Hayward over LL.

MV by a lot more than 10 over Heritage. They creamed them last time taking their starters out early, and they wont do that until they have a big lead.
Pride Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Alameda over YV for sure.

You always do such a great job and have so much insight, I was curious as to why the CV vs Con score will be so much tighter this time?
billjohnson Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
KillerD,

Novato playing without their 2 best players, Kurt Bryan has to be a little relieved since his starting QB is a game time decision. I think Piedmont just might pull this one off.

If B-High wins I’ll be ready to call their loss to Pinole a “fluke”.

Amador is a good team…look for them to win. Also mv over heritage by 30
Prep Fan Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
I think AV would have stood a chance to overlook the Falcons, if they had not incurred those injuries. Now their backs are up aqainst the wall and I look for the rest of the team to pick up the slack and give maximum effort tonight. CP is such an enigma with some big wins and some bqad losses that it is hard to tell which team will show up.

Bad memories, sorry off topic, but “these picks made possible” by, as KillerD pegged it, the “Behind Closed Doors No Explanation NCS Playoff Selection Committee”. Lest we forget, accountability next year, please! Backroom politics should be dead, in high school sports at least.
Prep Fan Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Its not like their decisions are any better with coaches in the room. There have been some real head scratchers over the years. It is just more transparent and less of a mystery with the coaches present.

Bleacher Coach Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
KillerD are you drinking this early on a Friday ? NO WAY PIEDMONT WINS LOL. What do you base that lame predication on? The Hornets secondary will be fine the Highlanders dont have a QB like Sean Mannion and the Hornets managed to hold Foothill to 144 yards in the air. Further more between the two leagues the BSAL is much weaker than the MCAL which isnt saying much since the both suck but damn thats like saying my terriable league is better than your terriable league lol. If the MCAL only has two good teams what does the BSAL have 1 lol your killing me please come to Novato on Saturday and bring some of that fairy dust you must be smoking
Bleacher Coach Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
Has anyone heard if the El Cerrito QB will be playing or is that a game time decision as well
billjohnson Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
Bleacher Coach,

” (1) Senior Evan Meehan, fastest player, a standout on offense and defense for the Hornets (7-3) broke his collarbone… (2) Injured, Saturday was the Hornets’ top rusher, senior Keke Mendez. He was hit on the knee in the third quarter…”
billjohnson Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
EC QB is playing
Bleacher Coach Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
billjohnson hey you must have read the Novato Advance articale. Mendez is fine he can play but I doubt the will need him ,I would look to see him start and then get pulled early. Novato has a soph named J.T. Peleki who can run and catch out of the back field and he loves to hit people ,he would rather run over someone than around them he has been fun to watch so that should be interesting.
billjohnson Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
i saw peleki against marin c. he ran right at marin’s d-line & got tackled for 1 yard plus he fumbled. he should have ran to the hole cuz there was one but like u said he likes to run people over i guess that’s why brackett yanked him. i’d rather have a back with vision apparently so did brackett on that day.
billjohnson Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
berkeley berkeley berkeley, you should have listen’d when i said come out passing against those scrub teams like hercules, de anza, & richmond. now it’s too late you might pull one out 2nite but next round 1 dimensional offense won’t get it done! smashmouth football that sh1t only works in the oal where the passing game is non existing.

bILLJOHNSON that shit only work in fairy tale land
romper room with miss mary ann coaching they think they gonna scare the kids with all that yelling and chanting run ricky run its show time ill b back on after the game handing out humble pie
Bleacher Coach Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
billjohnson Iam sure he got pulled for that that was fixed against San Marin as Iam sure you read. Even so I dont think Novato will have much trouble with the Highlanders you think there will be an upset as well?
billjohnson Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
novato is to sound they will beat piedmont but if craige plays they will score sum points, but piedmont has no defense or team speed besides craige & black. i like novato to pull away in the 2nd half.

they doin anything with ball???
Vic Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Cp has the ball 3rd down and 5 :30 seconds left in the half….
Vic Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
AV might get good postion to score before the half though…ALL of CP kickoffs have been horrible..so the punt doesnt look any better…their kickoffs have gone about 20 yards and sail out of bounds…..
Vic Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
CP 1st down….they are just gonna run the clock out and go into Halftime
Vic Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
CP 20-AV 0 Halftime
Donfan Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
they need to use gibbons…. just quick slants and move the ball. obviously run isnt doin it
Vic Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
they have the speed on the outside to throw deep and gibbons arm is good enough to beat CP secondary but u know how the play calling at AV goes…run,run,run…….
Donfan Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
well they better pass run pass down 20 at half.. how bad is rain?
Vic Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
it was pretty bad in the 1st but it has calmed down …real light now so will see….the Cp fumble and AV fumble in the first was most likely due to the heavy rain, good snaps and handoffs for those
Donfan Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
mmk. thanks again for updates
Vic Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 10:06 pm

Donfan Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
typical…. who did you have winnin this game?
Vic Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Honestly i think it all depends on the 1st drive and the adjustments sira makes on D..if they can score quick and stop CP …i think AV , if they dont score CP is gonna run away with it
Vic Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
the Center snapped the ball over gibbons head 2x on this drive in the 1st minute of the 2nd half
Vic Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
4 passes in the 1st 1:30 in the 2nd half…2 in the ENTIRE first half…hummmmm??

November 20th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
Vic awesome with the updates buddy. its too bad for Amador I really liked them this year but those injuries really have taken away from what they accomplished in the EBAL this year. Beat Everybody except Foothill(Almost had the best chance against DLS since 91 of beating them…) and DLS.

Amador really needs to take what they accomplished from this season and apply it for years to come because the Dons really should be competitive in EBAL and this year showed them how to do it. Dont really know about their system, but make changes as necessary to benefit the players you have because that success will follow.

Props to College Park showing they’re not the weakest Div 1 team not playing any Div 1 competition all year.

Good luck College Park at Cal High next week seems to be a good match up with running teams…if Cal can get by Washington first…im looking ahead..

November 20th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
yeah Donfan what is up with that coaching staff? lol are they ever going to look at how the other coaches at Foothill, Cal High, Monte Vista, San Ramon, and De La Salle run their systems and apply it? not changing any offense or defense thats specific to each school, but I think Sweeney, Lad, Bergman, Sanchez, and Kravitz had that success modeled all right for everyone to see.. The new coaches in league seem to have been following in my opinion..

as talented as Amador was this year, and they have some players every few years that change the dynamic of EBAL.. they should be competing can’t believe this is their first playoff appearance since 05!!!!

Amador ALWAYS has the players all around except really qb. to be honest the last great passer in av history was prob matt cooper…. maybe zollman in 04. i can see why roberts relies so heavily on the run when the rbs have always been great (the guillory brothers, souza, turay, diehl, concepion and such) but at some point they need to incorporate the passing game. they have the players to go far in ncs. its a shame coaching brings them down.
Donfan Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
i know stancil is great….. but not as a passer really… if that makes sense
Vic Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
true they need to create more of a passing game maybe west coast, i might throw danny jones in that mix with zollman…btw turay had a big screen play to end the 3rd..55 yards
925 Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
good points. the run always has been strong for them, but yeah any passing game would make them more effective perhaps. they’ve done good with the system they had i guess

Coaches at Amador should be congratulated on a great season, not ripped for failing to advance without key players. They put their kids in position to win all year long; just as easy to go 2-5 in EBAL as 5-2. They did a great job all year, but unfortunately could not play the game for the kids in the playoffs, and missing too many weapons. Div I NCS is loaded, no easy team in field other than American.

yeah Sira is a good coach. got the 04 team the best in history. I measure good if they’ve had a 10 win season, consistent sucess. reaching NCS, and coaching the players they have to the best of their abilities. Sira definitely does all of those or has once(good coaches have done so at least once).. but yeah I hear on these boards there’s a lot of resentment or discontent with the assistants in the program. Idk really, Amador is okay the last few seasons this their best since 04 &05. 06 were pretty good. 09 definitely making up for 07 & 08 but shame they won’t go farther into NCS – the expanded NCS not the 8 team in 04/05.

they’ll come back next season, still be a force to not take lightly, and I hope they step up their non league that works wonders rightfully so for anybody’s NCS or league concerns

925- rolling clock used entire second half. DLS third stringers and JV callups played entire second half except for Herting at qb. American got the ball to start the second half and had it the entire third quarter before turning ball over on downs. DLS turned ball over on downs twice in fourth quarter and then kneeled down on American’s 2 yard line to end the game. In starters versus starters it was 30-0 in favor of DLS and negative total yards for American not even all the way through first quarter. backups came in during the first quarter. and four starters sat out for Spartans. Halftime yards 288 for DLS. 6 for American. I think that speaks for itself. Although I was hoping DLS would beat them by worse so the committee would never do this again and have sixteen teams. although it worked out nice for college park.

btw Archbishop Mitty which was the favorite for the DII bowl game and shared the WCAL championship was upset tonight by league foe Valley Christian in first round of open playoffs. Final score was 22-17. This makes the bowl game picture in DII very interesting. Rocklin and Del Oro of the SJS are the next top schools but both are in the DII bracket with Grant and St. Mary’s so you figure they are out or if Rocklin wins it since they are undefeated will probably go to the open game. This opens the door for Paradise of the Northern section as well as Petaluma, St. Francis Mountain View who is in the CCS open, as well as some schools in the same SJS bracket in DIII, and well Encinal’s shot just improved big time.

925- Ya it will be a better game but something that hasn’t been talked about a lot is the fact that this whole year DLS has never been completely healthy. Every game at least one or two starters have been out and other guys are banged up but playing. Now that is just part of the game, but this week did give them a chance to rest some of their guys. Tonight Ward did not play because of the ankle injury he re aggravated in the Foothill game as well as two starting linemen, Hickel who was also injured against Foothill and two way starter Chris Lawrence. Also soph starter Marshall Cotton sat out due to illness. I expect that next week will be the first time the Spartans may be close to 100% all season. So it will be interesting to see how they play.

that’s very true. DLS maybe very well be as strong as ever on the right time. How does DLS look going into CIF bowls? that loaded SJS Div 2 bracket has a couple that could make it to the open, but are there any other true Div 1 teams that could supplant DLS provided they win 18th consecutive NCS championship? they beat Serra so if Serra knocks off challengers in that CCS Open, DLS is a lock for Div 1 bowl right?

November 20th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
Serra is beating the top seed in the Open right now 31-21 and is very close to wrapping it up but everyone concedes that the only reason Pioneer is the one seed is due to the points system the CCS uses. They were probably the weakest team in the bracket if that makes any sense at all.

In regards to DLS and the bowl games, Grant and Granite Bay are the only DI schools with a shot in the SJS and as I said earlier they are in the same bracket with Rocklin, St. Mary’s, and Del Oro. So only one of those schools will go. It is pretty much conceded that if one of the three undefeated teams wins they will go to the open. That is between Grant, Rocklin, and St. Mary’s. So DLS is looking at the DI bid if one of those schools wins the SJS DII. I really believe the only other NCS school with a shot at the DI game would be Deer Valley as everyone else has too many losses. Other schools competing with them are Tracy who is in the SJS DI bracket and are currently undefeated as well as Bellarmine in the CCS who won handily tonight over Palo Alto. There are some other schools in the SJS DI bracket who would need quite a few things to go their way in order to make it. So right now the front runners for DI are DLS, Tracy, and Bellarmine. DV is not that far behind and if they did win NCS DI would be in the convo but don’t think they would get selected over Bellarmine who has to be the favorite in the CCS Open now that Mitty has lost.

This brings me to the last thing that has been discussed at length between the Spartan faithful, is what will happen if DLS and Bellarmine are the schools being looked at. DLS would have a record of 12-2 with losses to Bosco and the overtime loss to Lakeland. Bellarmine would have a record of 11-1-1 with a blowout loss to St. Mary’s Stockton and an official tie to Mitty on the record but they did play overtime and Mitty won 28-27 but CCS rules only use overtime results as a tiebreaker for playoff seedings. By those rules DLS would only have one loss and one tie as well. And the committee showed last year that they choose sometimes based on the better record with undefeated Grant being chosen over 1 loss DLS no matter the overall SOS which was heavily in DLS’ favor.

but there is a lot of football left to play and you know Logan, Foothill, DV, and especially MV would love a shot at DLS. Hopefully the Spartans pull it out.

925 Says:
November 20th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
I believe just because DLS played better out of state competition(New Jersey, Florida) this year than Grant did last year (Idaho, Utah), it would be hypocritical if DLS doesn’t get back to a state bowl. Bellarmine lost to St. Mary’s so if St. Mary’s doesnt get the section, then it should be DLS because they lost to better teams Bellarmine and St. Mary’s would have no chance against.

Interesting tho the CCS rules applied to DLS would favor them because Lakeland is on anotherlevel compared to Mitty.

November 21st, 2009 at 12:07 am
Sad AV ended season with such a poor performance. Tackling was sloppy in first half and lead to two touchdowns by CP. Give CP credit -they scouted well and shutdown AV for 3 qtrs. AV Offense, led by Coach Roberts, was entirely predictable for 3 qtrs, and when they started throwing in 4th qtr, put 21 pts on the board. Duh…why were they not doing that for the other 3 qtrs? They made no adjustments in 1st half, and ran same plays as they would for Stancil, but with Gibbons at QB. The most infamous is the rollout left, with the QB throwing against his body. Stancil seems to pull this off – but CP stopped Gibbons cold on this – they ran it 3 times with no luck. Also, with time running down in 4th qtr, and down by 35, they continue to take their time, shuffling back to Coach Roberts every time to get every play, burning up all their time between plays. AV has no concept of a hurry up offense. Its pretty frustrating.
renegades10 Says:
November 21st, 2009 at 12:08 am
Exactly the same thoughts a lot of us have in regards to the tie. Also agree that the Bells need St. Mary’s to win to help their chances.

And this one CCS rule is a clear example of why it would be so hard to do a regional playoff when all these different sections have different rules and playoff systems. The first step in order to create a true state championship is to have every section using the same rules as they do in every other state.

In regards to last year the only difference is DLS lost both games and Grant won both of theirs last year. again the committee seems to be showing favoritism towards undefeated records no matter what. Plus it begs the question as to if maybe last year was their way of making it up to Grant from 2006. If that was the case would they make it up to the Bells for last year? Who knows but lots of ball left to be played and some big matchups tomorrow.

Thanks Vic for the play by play, couldnt get the hall pass to tonight, plus i had a bad feeling about this one so i am glad i stayed away. Would have been frustrated all over again watching like last week. Sira is a heck of a guy but you know what they say about nice guys. Well at least this nice guy came in second in our tough league. But, no playoff wins in 6 years in pretty sad. Saw someone mention quarterbacks, sometimes they show up on campus but having a good one year in and year out is coaching. We just dont have the stafff that other schools have. Foothill and MV have two studs this year but they win every year because they develop the position. Like i said earlier in the week, we should have got Sweeney was he was out that year watching his daughter. Gauarantee, different outcome tonight if he was on Av’s sideline. I need to stop or else i am going to get frustrated all over again. All in all great year for the dons and i am going to remeber that i guess.

De La Salle showed a lot of class tonite. Did not rush punter after a safety early in the 1st quarter.
Took knees and did not go to the air in second half- deep inside opponent’s red zone on several occasions. Entire 2nd half played by 3rd string and JV call-ups.
It could have been 75-00. They don’t pull that Grant crap. Grant beat their league teams by 60 points or more last year plus scoring 100 pts. against another league foe. Bye the way, the news is out- Grant turned down De La to play them in a 2 game series.

man Grant duckin DLS that is ironic. Big Joe that is an excellent post. They don’t pull that Grant crap is right. Grant doesn’t play JV or even have 3rd stringer I guess. DLS versus either Logan Foothill will be better game. Personally, I like seeing DLS play at home because they have the execution pretty down in front of the home crowd. I always expect fewer mistakes this way, but nobody’s perfect. Great night, good luck to all the teams playing tomorrow

Yeah I have to question what happened at Grant as well, as according to the scoring on maxpreps their starting rb Butler scored a td in the third quarter when Grant was already up 56-0. The box score was 21 35 7 2. Grant had three td’s off of fumble returns, so maybe Coach Al wanted his offense to get more reps but still. Having your starting rb in when it is 56-0 makes no sense especially because what if he got hurt. you would think he wants to save him but i just don’t get that. imagine if the DLS starters had played a whole half against American. o well can’t worry about the Pacers just focus in on the next game.

Footballfan415,

The real fans on this board know how wishy washy El Cerrito was. No team wins back to back shut outs of 61-0 and 40-0 only to be massacred 50-0 yhre very next week 50-0 by a 1 dimensional team. So we know it was a possibility depending on which team showed up. I saw most of that game last night. And what was clear was that EC was as thoroughly out coached on the field as their players were unprepared prior to that game.

No knock on Tam but there were no adjustments made at halftime and did EC really think they were going to “out talent” them. Opps saw the score. I guess they did…. THEIR BAD!
renegades10 Says:
November 21st, 2009 at 10:00 am
No doubt Grant proved they belonged by winning last year, but as i said in an earlier post if the committee is also going to give out make-ups or i-o-u’s it makes me wonder if it came down to DLS and Bellarmine, if they wouldn’t do the same thing.

That Tam/EC game saw Tam completely bottle up EC on the line and although EC got off a few good passes, it was Bobby Burton of Tam that ran over EC…EC’s left side of the line took a beating, as Burton constanty was gaining yards….EC had one punt return for a TD called back..And as for EC’s speed, the runners never had a chance to show what they could do as they were stopped at the line….It would appear that Tam will face Alhambra next week and the Bulldogs may have their work cut out for them.

I couldn’t be more proud of our guys! El Cerrito and their AD, were a very good host and thank we them for there hospitality.

Wanna Know, I didn’t see you inside our locker room at a half, not sure how you came up with our “no adjustments”. It seems like the adjustments we did after half time acounted for a 21-6 second half score.

Let the players play, the coaches coach, and the pads talk for themselves.

Stats don’t lie,

November 21st, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Hey has anyone heard from KillerD LOL After his bad predications I would be absent from the bloggs as well. Looks like Novato took care of business on the field today and now the Jets and Novato have a common opponant and I have seen both games live I would say Novato looked better against Piedmont. The Jets took the whole game to take out Piedmont Novato did it in one quarter. Novato played the whole second half with the JV call ups and Piedmont still could not move the ball 44-3 at the half 44-10 final. The Jets had a hard time with Sonoma Valley Friday night hmmm….
Bleacher Coach Says:

Looks like it will be a rematch x2 since I know the Jets will handle business next week against Fortuna/Campo and Novato won’t let up against Miramonte. Fun game today but surprised the Highlanders couldn’t convert 3 consecutive fumbles by our back-ups/JV squad. Oops, they did get that TD in the 4th. ;o)
Bleacher Coach Says:
November 21st, 2009 at 7:27 pm
football415 the Novato D was as tuff as ever today> The JV call ups where very small compared to the first team Highlander Defence but those boys ran hard and I give them an A for effert and heart. I think Fortuna win s tonight and will give Encinal a run for there money. With the amount of Jet coacking and players that turned out for todays game I think they (the Jet coaches and players) May be looking past there next opponent.

How about the other team realy came out prepared and played hard and gave us a tuff game but of course that would take class. I am sure who ever win tonights game will be calling the Sonoma Valley coaching staff to see how they stopped the Jets in the first half. I have posted a couple of time how to stop them maybe thay will call me lol
Bleacher Coach Says:

further more old former meddling coach the Jets played a 4-6 team and only scored 28 points lol please !!!! Did the Jets start slow against Piedmont to it was 14-0 at he half in that game as well. the Jets finished that game 38-6. What does it say to you that Novato had Piedmont down 44-0 at the half?

BC #212 The crew from Encinal obviously came to enjoy a great afternoon of football…preparation is important and you know they have people up in Fortuna. I actually don’t think they were looking ahead. If that is the case then we must have been looking ahead when we all went to Healdsburg last night. Nice group of guys, respectful and willing to answer questions when asked AND they spent some cash at the snack shack which directly supports the school. BTW, Other than a few problems holding on to the ball, the back ups played NOVATO football to the end. DEFENSE WINS GAMES, OFFENSE SELLS TICKETS!!

Well, Washington has about as doable a bracket as they could have asked for. All they need to do is beat 2 teams (Cal & College Park)they have already beaten once this season and they will make it to the semi-finals. I know, it is easier said than done, but it is better than facing DLS in round 2.

Bleacher coach, take it easy on old meddling. He’s got the right attitude-just rooting for the hometeam.
They can be explotied, but not by any Div 3 except mabey MC. In Div 1 forget it, they would stay close for awhile, like Serra game, but fold in the end. Old Meddling is cool with me.
Now, where’s Murdoc? I need the Xmas lites strung up on the roof top in Blackhawk next week-end. Have him check in with the guard at the gate- use the passcode ” From Alameda- former player.”

Hope you beat BHS. Remember this though, Dennis Dixon lost to DLS 4 straight yrs, , ALL BLOWOUTS. Hiis claim, in the book, his biggest disappointment was never beating DLS. At Oregon, he was united with De La players all over the rooster and now understands the Brotherhood.

Yo Mama…My thoughts are the same. Except that AV (Due to Stancil’s injury) are not part of the NCS D-I festivities now.

So what changes ? Deer Valley not Amador Valley, advances to the final. So now Cal beats CP next week. Before DV beats Cal in the semi-final’s. Meanwhile from the other half of the bracket. I still have MV advancing to the final. As DLS and MV are clearly the top-2 teams, within their portion of the bracket.

If Pittsburg beats SRV and DV. I think they very capable of beating Cal. Assuming Cal beats Washington and then CP.

I went 3-1 last night. Expect to go 4-0 tonight.

Novato beat our Piedmont team handily today. They were bigger and faster than our boys.

We played the game however without our amazing quarterback and #1 wide receiver, they never took to the field due to bad ankle injuries last week.

Excuses no, but reality yes. With those two players instead of a sophmore quarterback pulled up from JV against Novato, it would have been a close game, but today we had no chance at all to even get close.

Good luck to the Novato team and Way to Go Piedmont, thanks for an entertaining and successful season!

Mike…Tracy is in San Joaquin County not Stanislaus.

Livermore and the Alameda County line is only 15-miles away (separated by the Altamont Hills. Tracy is closer to Livermore and Pleasanton. Than it is to Stockton and Lodi. Concord and Clayton are only 25-miles away too.

Tracy should be in either the EBAL or BVAL. Counties do not apply here. In the EBAL you have (4)Contra Costa County and (4) Alameda County schools. Also Berkeley and San Leandro have played in the EBAL.

Maybe now some RESPECT and a little love should be handed out to the Washington H.S. Huskies!

Kudos to WHS coaching staff for OUTCOACHING and preparing the dogs for what majority of you thought was not possible. Tonight showed that stepping up and playing a top schedule pays off. As an alum an a huge supporter my hats off to the coaching staff for the body of work. You guys showed tonight that good coaching exists outside of the ebal.

Major props to the young men of Wash for coming out and playing your tails off! This was by far the most physical you have played all year. Execution was remarkable and the way you guys completely shutdown a quality football team 2x @ home when it counts the most is quite the accomplishment.

Next up College Park.. come see us!

p.s. Reggie who?
Prep Fan Says:
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:47 am
I have to give it up for Washington. After the first Cal drive of the game where they drove down to take a 7-0 lead, they completely shut down Cal. Cal’s play calling was very questionable, and although the Huskies outplayed the Grizzlies, their coaching staff had a much better game plan as well.

Although Washington’s last TD was pretty lucky as it was batted away from the intended receiver into the arms of another receiver running full speed towards the endzone on a 3rd & long late in the game, it would not have mattered. They would have had to punt on the next play, and Cal would have again gone nowhere and the final would have been 13-7. Kudos to the Husky defense as they played an excellent game and knocked off Cal twice on the road this seaqson after having been crushed by them in the playoffs last season.

Cal Way TO Fall On Your A$$ at home twice in a season. to a team Cal knows it shouldve beat. This is the biggest thing here. Washington is just better. That program has been on the rise since 05 Witmer really should be Coach Of The Year. No Disrespect To AV’ Sira, B Zo Carter, or anybody else… but This Washington team is the best They’ve Ever Had? CAn Anybody Verify this? Washington best year ever? When was the last time they were in a semi final?

Great Job Clayton Valley, exacting a little revenge from a real tough regular season loss. The big men up front made it happen, and blocking is always a little more fun when your backs hit the hole like CV’s did last night.

Post #281. Joey, I have no excuses. I was hoping that the boys would be up for this game but Cal was flat. They even had some breaks. They had the punt that Alverez stole from the Huskies and could not capitalize on. Alverez played his ass off but one player is not enough. Washington played great. Best of luck for the rest of the playoffs. I look forward to next season.

Let me get this straight…3 of the top 8 seeds lost, all 3 of these teams were EBAL teams…the seeding committee needs to get their sh%^ together.

My playoff picks go a Total of 14 wins out of 24 picks.

It’s fun to put yourself out on a limb picking these games and the wild surprises coming with it.

Question Up front: “Can Foothill’s Mannion somehow lead the Falcons to an upset of De La Salle?”

Maybe a score of 45 – 44 to get the win?

Is it possible anyone?

“Can they eek out another close win vs. Pitt in 2009?”

282 jim the flag man at the sl game is a follower of sl football, dedicated to high school football by making it a positive experenice.he get’s there early to show support to the program, so it hurt’s more when you have to take them down after a loss. so please show some respect for a person who loves high school football.

415…..I think you are right about the Alhambra/Tam game….The bulldogs continue to create too many pentalies and the D line give up way too much yardage..their worst crime is the pass defense…Any passing team can raise heck with the bulldog defense…They need to clean it up, but this should have been done a long time ago…As long as the offense keeps rolling the Bulldogs will win…The real test will be against MC if they top Tam….

what everybody think about miramonte vs novato?
Matman Says:
November 22nd, 2009 at 4:24 pm
Watching novato yesterday vs. piedmont enabled us to see the swarming hornets defense in action.

Piedmont did not even have a chance with their top guns out of the contest and a first time kid at quarterback. It was not a fair battle, and that was a shame.

Novato was able to run the ball vs. Piedmont, something we will not give up easily. If we are to defeat Novato we will have to run enough to keep them off kilter and throw to hurt them a few times deep.

Miramonte is going to get stomped again by Novato, different Mat team…same story
Bleacher Coach Says:
November 22nd, 2009 at 6:34 pm
Matman I like your ideaolgoy against Novato but in all honesty this season has been tough on the Mats and I just dont think they have the personnel to keep up with Novato. If it wasnt for this ridiculous 16 team field the Mats would not even be here! I am not knocking your team in anyway all progams except DLS have down years. I just think that teams should be at least 5 and 5 to make the playoffs. This Saturdays game will not be pleasant for the Mats. The Mats and Novato have two common foes in San Marin and Foothill, both teams beat San Marin and lost to Foothill. If we look at those two games Novato clearly is the better team.

I’m not with all this 5-5 talk minimum to make the play-offs. That would just encourage teams to play cupcakes to be 5-5. Strength of schedule & playing good teams in reference to your record should matter.

I would realy like to know which Jet coach is posing as me. I think a phone call to the AUSD office in the morning might but a damper on this since I dont see any way to report abuse here. Iam sure Joe need these head aches like a hole in the head. Hey pussy who ever you are I will be at the game on Friday you know who Iam so have some balls and show up like a man or hide like the bitch you are.
The Real Reposa Says:
November 23rd, 2009 at 12:04 am
and for the Record I agree with Bleacher coach any team from any league getting into the playoffs is a joke it is about the money for the NCS. 30 point blow outs are not good sportsmanship and then add to that coaches like the ones from San Marin and Piedmont who refuse to play with a running clock in the second half is a bigger joke. What about the safety of the kids and not the egos of the coaches.Did the Piedmont coach really think his team was going to come back from 41 points down? But yet you same people complain when a team drops 60 or 70 points on a team you hate on DLS and Grant or who ever else you can.
The Real Reposa Says:
November 23rd, 2009 at 12:11 am
One other thing for the moron who is posing as me under LARRY REPOSA get some football knowledge dumbass with the return of the bowl games you cant play weak teams or you will never get picked so who ever are and with what ever team play your weak ass schedule have a 10 year winning streak and you get to be the coach and team who never goes to a bowl game LOL. The playing field in high school football has changed the Section Title is no longer what teams stive for ……but wait you still live in the same apartment with your mom you grew up in so I guess you would be happy with that

GO MIRAMONTE!

They’ll frickin own novato
Piedmont was down players it wasn’t really cool
they woulda put WAY more points up with QB and WR

but hey, props to that sophmore at QB, he played hard and put up not too bad numbers. he’s got a bright future.

PV was a humbling experience at the right time, the kids were very hollywood that week, and went back into what the real coach Carter calls the bully mode, then and halftime, into Beast Mode, 24 points in the second half. The team played well.It will be a great game vs MV, stop counting the Jackets out, Carter’s Defense will smack the MV recievers, remember the AV game, big knockouts, changed the game, 1st, the TE, then #2, then #3.

Can anyone break down the Alhambra BOD game?

Looks like BOD put up a fight against Alhambra
The Real Reposa Says:
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:50 pm
I was at the game and I felt BOD was in it the whole game, they just could not tackle. On numerous occasions the BOD defence had #24 Calhoun stopped behind the line or they would string him out to the side lines but couldnt wrap him up and he would cut back and rip off along run. The Alhambra D was giving the BOD recievers tons of room and the BOD QB made them pay except for a late INT I thought the BOD QB did a great job. Alhambra’s biggest foe on offence was themselves as they had a fair amount of penalties. The key to beating the Dogs is stopping the run and making the throw it to #80
Jet4ever52 Says:
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:40 pm
The Real Reposa

thanks for the details . I was just curious cuz some people on here thought BOD had no chance and seems like they did. And that BOD barely got into NCS and came into the playoffs played hard against a #3 seed sounds like a good game for them even though they lost. Is Calhoun fast? just wondering never seen him play before

Calhoun has fairly good speed for a big boy. Jet Pride!

Mr Williams I heard that there were alot of penalties friday night? Cuz i was reading the updates and it was scoreless in the 1st Q and then only 7-0 at half. Did the penalties effect them?
The Real Reposa Says:
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:04 pm
#24 Calhoun is the smaller of the two Alhambra backs and yes he does have good speed. #44 is HUGE and ran pretty effectively as well but wasnt really needed so he didnt get alot of touches. There wasnt alot to the passing game I only remember passes to #4 who is very small I think he caught 1 of two passes thrown to him, short passes in the flats and 5-6 to #80 who is good size with good speed and his passes where deep post play’s one was for a TD if memory serves.
