Mannion — my God — that may be the single greatest prep performance I have seen in 17 years of prep football. I know the MVAL sucks on defense, but really, almost 600 yards??? If he’s not the QB of the year, given that he has no running game and one receiver worth a crap, then there is something really, really wrong
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:01 am
The MVAL’s defense didn’t seem to suck at the Cal game… Wash had that shit on lock down. Ross tore it up.
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:26 am
I see a Deer Valley or Pittsburg against Washington in one semi-final matchup.
The De La Salle vs. Foothill and Monte Vista vs. Berkeley quarter-final games, should be very entertaining !!
Can Galvin carry the load for Berkeley ? Or will Nottingham light up the Yellowjacket “D” ?
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:47 am
deer valley pitt going to be a great game
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:04 am
hey where is the goat, guess he is nowhere to be found, we were looking for you. guess u trying to get the stiches out ya ass, lmao, where are all the san leandro supporters/berkeley haters, good bounce back game, logan murdock with 2 td passes, good job kid.
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:18 am
Small error on Tweets: Alhambra won 35-21.
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:29 am
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?
November 22nd, 2009 at 3:26 am
wow berkeley beat us down, nothing to say but they kick our ass. rickey galvin is the real deal. its win or go home and we are done
November 22nd, 2009 at 3:58 am
From what I saw in the SL-Berkeley game. Of course Galvin gets the headlines. The key to the game though was the Berkeley D. After SL’s initial drive, the Berkeley D was all over Musni and co. Berkeley’s offense, once they got going, they were almost unstoppable. Michael Ned, someone you may not know of, is Berkeley’s OTHER RB. He had a strong game, 72 yards on 9 rushes. Should be just as good as advertised… MV at Berkeley.
November 22nd, 2009 at 4:15 am
the whistle,
woe mval defense sucks ha. Washington held cal to 7 points let me repeat 7 points and logan to 28 points. Let me see foothill gave up to 45 let me repeat 45 points to cal and 37 to Logan. Wow maybe you should watch what you say you sound stupid.
November 22nd, 2009 at 5:18 am
Yo Mama, Monte Vista gonna light that team up! Really? They played a bad team they already beat. Cal High still is overhyped. SRV cant stop Pitt attack. Logan dont want none of that. MVAL sucks, outside of Washington. College Park dont want none of that.. and San Leandro didnt play no body get back next season LOL. B High thank you for standing up. but really PInole VAlley guys. that was no disrespect shit u didnt deserve.
Nottingham vs Galvin bigger than Ward & Kessler lol
Pitt vs Deer Valley gonna be huge. that P-World on fire right now.
oh yeah this is the most diverse semifinals I’ve seen in years. EBAL parity out the window Washington should’ve been seeded ahead of Cal High anyways. Now time to take care of business against Colli Park. Nuff said easy win there. Kyle B what happened with Cal High though. Couldnt stop nothing they supposed to be good???
How they beat Foothill. I dont get it. EBAL not a true test only NCS is.
Go Berkeley, Go Washington, Go Pitt
show um what you working with
November 22nd, 2009 at 5:33 am
Just to recap a little bit here..
Berkeley had a great season. Won league Proved it over SL. only doubts about that Pinole Valley game. Next Week vs Monte Vista see if they go 3 for 3 against NCS D1 opponents(Beat Pitt, San Leandro in regular and post season)
prediction for next year: this will be Berkeley’s best season until next when Zo presumably leaves for CoCo College and Berkeley isn’t as dominant without a Rickey like they were this year. So enjoy it while it lasts Football Phenatiks.
suggestions: Berkeley and lets say Logan, Berkeley and Deer Valley (not gonna be good next year lol so a whoopin for B High) Berkeley SL always a good win
San Leandro had a good season as well. Comparable to last year. Won league again. Gripe is with playing Valley Christian and Bellarmine. SHouldn’t be doing that. Play more NCS D1 teams Bower you might prepare your team for powerhouses like EBAL/Berkeley
next year: Dont know what San Leandro has coming back and if they continue HAAL dominance. Wont know til they play somebody NCS and show who they are like Washington Has for example this year.
suggestions: SL and AV, SL and Logan, SL and Antioch.. all games for this level
Washington had a great season. But why are they playing Tracy. Find an NCS team to play. or Be in a showcase. Any of the top 12 seeds should be in a showcase if invited I truly believe that.
Almost repeated MVAL titles but lost to Logan.
next year: beat Logan. continue winning out of league
suggestions: continue that College Park rivalry pretty good series. Play Antioch, San Leandro, Castro Valley other NCS D1 teams. Deer Valley ok maybe but teams should play the weak teams just cuz the NCS matches should be made in NCS.
also Like SRV has lost to Pitt last two years. Wouldn’t want SRV to do home and home with Pitt lol.
Cal probably should drop Washington too.
Keep rotating and finding new non league opponents is a good way to go about it.
San Leandro dropped SRV and Cal but they shouldn’t have dropped EBAL teams. SHould play Granada, or Amador
unless they afraid of losing to them..
anyway finish this tomorrow.
Non Leauge is important. SRV stop playing Oakland and Concord play Clayton Valley or College Park or Arroyo or Newark etc. D1 teams not D2
November 22nd, 2009 at 6:01 am
I will enjoy it. Next year ….Run Rickey Run in Pullman!
November 22nd, 2009 at 8:33 am
Berkeley High is a very underated team. The Jackets proved that the loss against Pinole was due to self destruction. Berkeley has size, speed, skill, heart and coaching. Can all facets of this team be consistent?
November 22nd, 2009 at 8:59 am
#5 BHSFAN funny ha
Dont put this loss on the kids
The coaches get out coached in the offs every year
the MV coach sat right next 2 me and called out every play. Time 4 Bower 2 look in the MIRROR
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:42 am
MV has no defense and everyone knows that..Rickey will continue to run all over the place and give a lot of credit to Adams the fullback #8..he was blocking really good last night..
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:25 am
Pitt beat SRV huh. B – High beat Pitt earlier this year and beat San Leandro. D1 is becoming very entertaining.
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:01 pm
i think this weekend proves that D1 outside of DLS is becoming very very intriguing…where depending on the matchup, the gameplan, the players executing A LOT of teams can beat anyone. no team just because of the league they play in should be held on a pedastool no matter how strong their league is…if teams from smaller weaker leageues test themselves in non league games they will be ready in the playoffs.
i think the parity is at an all time high…as the ebal will have at best 2 teams in the semi’s (but really dont count DLS, since they are in their own league)…so 1 private or EBAL, 1 ebal or ACCAL, 1 BVAL team is a guarantee and then the MVAL or DVAL….
good luck to everyone after some well played games in the first weekend.
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Wow don’t I feel like an idiot? I went to washington – cal-hi game instead. MIssed the B-high win. I heard that SL got a lil impatient and were unwilling to commit to the game plan for the entire game a la Pinole Valley. for those that were there how’d it go down???
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:37 pm
wannaknow see item #8, it explains everything you need to know.
November 22nd, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Just talked to a couple of b-high coaches. Said they had 2 JV call ups starting on defense. They moved Coogler to the sam. that took a lotta sack on their part.
Can someone please explain to me how the EBAL will dominate this year’s playoffs again. 3-3 huh? I still maintain that Cal-High and SRV should not have been in this season. And certainly not seeded as high.
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Can someone tell me why SRV even got the higher seed against Pittsburg?? tis tis
Last time DV went undefeated, they lost at home to Pittsburg in the playoffs. I think its gonna happen again.
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:33 pm
The Profit….I will stand by my statement that MVAL defense does suck…One great performance by Washington (and it was impressive) doesn’t mean the league overall doesn’t suck with it’s defense. Nice job by Logan’s defense…Guess that backs up your point moron.
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Much different DV team now. These guys are hittin on all cylinders. I like their swagger. I still think Pitts Qb play is inconsistent. They’ve found ways to mask it a lil. But DV knows that team and their coach well.
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:42 pm
I was at the Logan Foothill game, unbelievable. Logan had no clue how to stop Foothill. Logan scored on a kick return and interception return or else it would have been worse. Foothill never punted. Mannion didnt throw a pass in the 4th quarter or else he goes over 600 yards. Beofre you everyone start questioning the seeding, Amador’s best player was out, and SRV quarterback was out. Washington got drillled by Logan and so to beat Cal, hats off to them.
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:47 pm
Logan putting up 37 points isn’t very good either moron.
Also giving up 45 points to Cal, 35 to Granada… wow that’s some awesome defence buddy. That’s top quality right there.
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:49 pm
James
what happened when Washington played Logan
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Cal drilled Foothill… wash beat Cal twice (@ Cal) so your “this team beat this team” logic is retarded.
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:52 pm
what happen to Foothill against Cal???
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Pitt’s QB play inconsistent?? what about DV’s? considering the main threat is nursing a bad ankle, Pittsburg just got their major D1 recruit back at safety. It will be an interesting game.
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Cal drilled Foothill, my point was you have selective memory and dont account for matchup’s. Logan drilled you guys and yet you fail to remember that and just point to put Foothill’s losses. Foothill drilled Logan twice! you squeaked by Cal twice
November 22nd, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Cal high has a talented group. Sadly, they lost their coach they loved. They had started to build a great program and unfortunately this new coach didn’t have the experience or the drive needed to lead a championship team or maintain the success they have had the last couple of years.
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:10 pm
MV is going to give Berkeley fits on offense. BHS is not prepared to stop a Div I QB prospect. BHS will get some rushing yds, but MV coaching staff will figure it out, Ricky held to about a buck fifty.
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:24 pm
B beat Antioch in the playoffs in 1996. 1st playoff win in 13 years not 23. This rumor is killin me and it has to stop. Berkeley High won a playoff game three years in a row one in 94(American) one in 95(Washington) and one in 96(Antioch). Juice the Jackets beat MV like we used to.
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:33 pm
Yo mama,
The only way they give B-high fits on offense is if the run A LOT of combination routes and flood certain areas of the field. Although I don’t see Berkeley running anything but 2 man all game with an occasional safety playing over the top of Mcgovern. They have the athletes to keep up. So I would say it will be a classic contrast in styles next week. And MV better work on blitz pick up. I didn’t think they’d get by San Leandro. But that was due to the match up. I think this will be great match-up. And the scoring will not be plentiful.
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:39 pm
MV is averaging 45 plus per game and BHS right behind them. Don’t you think both defenses are suspect?
MV can throw up some points very quickly, even when behind. Galvin is going to get his against the MV defense. Why a low score?
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:44 pm
MV gonna score a lot on Berkeley. How’s that defense against the pass? they ain’t played nobody like this before. I will bet everybody here it’s a high scoring game because MV has bad defense too. but they will outscore B-High. 49-42 lol im givin the jackets credit i believe in rickey but idk bout their secondary. guys fill me in
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:50 pm
and yeah the committee rewarded the EBAL teams for sure. Cal was highly ranked in the coaches poll. SRV beat Foothill who beat AV that last week of the season so the EBAL strength of schedule was rewarded. That said, If SRV played Logan, Washington, or Pitt, who were all better than them. it was a sure loss. then SRV lost their QB, so I’m surprised Pitt didnt make the score worse it was only 27-7. I said all this before that SRV made it into the playoffs cuz they did mediocre in EBAL but not horrible. but they too young inexperienced and injured so thats why i said in a previous post about a week ago they weren’t advancing
Cal High I totally thought was gonna beat Washington. Thought they were a better team. BUt I guess not when you lose to Amador and Monte Vista.
Really the best EBAL teams would be in the semi’s no excuses. AV would’ve beat College Park without those injuries and I said so and predicted CP would when last time too.
I’m excited to see the Wash/CP game now though because CP is a lot better winning 3 in a row over playoff teams, CV, YV, AV, than Wash, lost to JL, beat CAL
Monte Vista Berkeley is the match up we were waiting for so I guess time to wager how much defense matters in this game.
Pitt Deer Valley.. PHS is right. Last time DV lost to Pitt so this time they’ll lose to PItt again in post season. Dargan coming back to wallop this team without their best player k williams
DLS Foothill.. wont happen.. DLS Monte Vista.. wont happen either.. then DLS Pitt definitely won’t happen.. but if DLS Deer Valley happens and K Williams is healthy.. maybe just maybe like last year’s Pitt team.. this year’s DV team has what it takes to make it to ship.
congratulations to the teams that won and good luck rest of the way. peace
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:52 pm
I’m not doubting Nottingham’s ability to sling it around the yard. That’s a given. I’m doubting the ability of their receivers to get open consistently. MV receivers vs Berkeley’s secondary is a match-up B-High has to think they would win. I can certainly see a above average talent trying to do too much. Force some throws. This will have to be a “balanced” attack for MV. You can’t have an 8 to 2 pass ratio and win with the speed in the secondary.
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Mike the funny thing about Berkeley’s pass defense is they actually work on it a lot. This given the fact that they’re in a virtually non passing league. And I have to say the have a great blitz package. They only have really used it during obvious passing downs due to the league they play in. Now they can get after Nottingham. MV needs to stay balanced so the larger d-line stay on the field and those pass rushers stay on the sideline.
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:59 pm
PHS04 is correct. With Dargan back at safety, SRV’s long passes were not effective at all. QB Mozee is so hot right now. The ankle injury to QB Kristoff Williams of DV will add woes to DV. Plus in reg season Pitt won the 1st 3qtrs until Williams reversed his role as WR and was able to receive short passes and run and score. This time he can’t run plus even if he does position himself as WR, #3Dargan and RB/DBs #2, #22 and #6 will be right there to stop him. I’ve seen what they did last night at SRV; they reduced SRV to a pitiful team with a lopsided score 27-7 with a shutout in last 3 qtrs. DV will lose in this playoff quarterfinal.
November 22nd, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Logan couldn’t find Rowland, who wasn’t there against DLS first time. Better running game for Foothill also has emerged, which should help a little. Big question is Foothill trying to stop the two-headed monster DLS running attack. Can Mannion and Rowland keep DLS off-balance just enough to try to outscore them… Logan scored plenty, but was outscored hugely by the pass. DLS always pretty confident at home, not too likely to make too many mistakes. Seems like Foothill’s only hope is to try to outscore DLS by air, keeping pressure off of Mannion on DLS rush.
November 22nd, 2009 at 3:43 pm
DLS wins easy, don’t act like its even going to be a game.
November 22nd, 2009 at 3:45 pm
enough of this team drilled that team and they drilled this team…that really wasn’t totally the case in any of those games…but i will say it again the parity is at an all time high and on any given night a lot of teams can beat anyone (except DLS)…to think any different shows a complete arrogance and ignorance on anyone’s part…
and a lot has to do with matchups…certain teams matchup better, mistakes happen, players execute and make big plays, the coach has the right blitz or play call on and things can change the outcome of a game very quickly…all the talk of we drilled them so we would drill them is irrelevant…
November 22nd, 2009 at 3:51 pm
NCFtball
35-6 at half the first time and giving up 59 is getting drilled. Cal 45 – Foothill 24 is getting drilled as well. Just call it what it is sometimes
November 22nd, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Washington really did deserve a better seeding versus Cal than they got, and they proved it last night with their second road win against them this year. Their defense won that game with fantastic play after the 1st Cal drive ended up in a TD.
But when Cal “drilled” Foothill a couple of weeks ago (and it was 45-17 until that last score) and Logan beat Washington last week, there was really no way for the seeding committee to reconcile it. Logan had to be ahead of Washington as they are in the same league, finished ahead of them and beat them head to head. Cal had to be ahead of Foothill for the same exact reasons. Foothill should have been ahead of Logan because of head to head and Washington beat Cal. So there was no way to get it right.
I think the committee looked at the fact that a 6th place EBAL team Foothill beat the first place MVAL team (now twice) and rightly came to the conclusion that the EBAL is a stronger league. Obviously there are some matchups where the MVAL is better, such as 2nd place Washington vs. 4th place Cal (twice), but overall the EBAL is a much stronger league.
Washington now is the defacto 3rd seed as they have home field advantage over CP this week, another team they have already beaten once this season, and should make it to the semifinals against the BVAL team that survives next week’s battle royale at Deer Valley. Win that game and Washington will have all the respect and accolades they could ever hope for, short of beating DLS in the finals.
November 22nd, 2009 at 4:33 pm
#37 watching MV all year the linebackers and young secondary is the best part of the defense. The best athletes are in the MV secondary and yes they all can cover. Both starting corners and safety are in top 5 in ebal interceptions. two are juniors and 1 is a sophmore.
November 22nd, 2009 at 4:57 pm
I think the NCS seeding commitee needs to rethink the higher seeds for these EBAL teams. for example CAL at 5-5 no team deserves a 6 seed. Sad thing is that 3 home EBAL teams stayed home losers. All to fairly low seeds, #10 Pittsburg , #11 Washington , #14 CP.
November 22nd, 2009 at 5:04 pm
# 32 Bummed, Coaches can only lead their horses to the river. It’s up up to them to drink. Cal Grizzlies O-Line didn’t execute and neither did their D-Backfield. They’ve played quite mediocre the past five games, but it is the players that played not the coaches. Sanchez is gone by his choice so players need to learn to cut ties and move on. These young men are at the age they are going to have to get used to a lot of “formers” (former girlfriend, former school, former job, former life) and adapt to what their challenge is at the moment. Eric Billeci took over the program and in his first year took this team to NCS D-1 playoffs. The coaches can’t play the game so players need to step up and either play like winners and believe in themselves, their team and their program or accept mediocrity and give a half-hearted effort. We’ll see in the off season how hard the Grizzlies are willing to work. They still have a talented pool of players capable of beating the teams on their schedule. Hat’s off to Coach Billeci for taking on this challenge. We all have been in this place,(on the bottom floor of our career), at one time or the other. Hopefully he’ll stay as the Grizzlie coach for longer then the past coaches who just seem to be passing through. Continuity is what is needed to get the high prize. Just look at the other football programs with life long coaches and you’ll have to agree that’s what’s needed at Cal H.S.
November 22nd, 2009 at 5:11 pm
I’m really not sure what happened to Cal last night (other than a good Washington defense shutting tem down), but AV and SRV were both without their starting QBs. Sure, they both still may have lost, and with the way both CP and Pitt played they may very well have lost, but many speculated they would be in trouble with those injuries.
The committee needs to take all things into consideration. And if the 6th place EBAL team beats the 1st place BVAL or MVAL team next year and the EBAL does well outrside of league, they should be punished because of some losses this season. They should look at who teams have played, who they have beaten, the closeness of those games, league and overall records. They should not just look at what leagues teams play in or what place they came in. Preseason schedules and wins should be big factors in NCS seedings.
November 22nd, 2009 at 5:11 pm
agreed lets stop giving them so much credit NCS commitee they treat it like they are the only league around not to say other leagues weren’t down this year but come on give us a break with your seeding
November 22nd, 2009 at 5:12 pm
whoops – They should “NOT” be punished
November 22nd, 2009 at 5:13 pm
again PHS injuries. and Common Opponents. Pitt lost to Berkeley. That hurt them when Berkeley lost to Pinole Valley. Cal Had Closer games to MV than Pitt at halftime. And Washington wasnt respected in the seedings. but Pitt Lost TO BERKELEY DonT Forget that lol.
SRV beat FOothill who beat Amador that was the other factor.
Again I said they lost because they should have. They weren’t as good as the more talented teams and they were decimated by injuries.
lol.
Pitt got blown out by MV. lost to Granite Bay. lost to Berkeley. gotta redeem your selves starting with SRV.
next year a 6-4 Pitt team might get a better seed than a 6-4 SRV team or a 5-5 Cal team, but that loss to Berkley hurt you guys cuz ppl dont think Berkeleys good after that PINOLE VALLEY Loss lol
November 22nd, 2009 at 5:18 pm
at the end of the season
DLS was #1-full health
#2 Deer Valley-full health
#3 Amador-full health
#4 Monte Vista-full health
#5 Berkeley lost to Pinole Valley
#6 Pitt
#7 Logan doesnt look like a #6 seed now, but they beat Washington
#8 Washington beat Cal
#9 Cal beat SRV and Foothill
#10 San Ramon beat foothill
#11 Foothill beat Logan..
#12 San Leandro played nobody. this was the right spot given that BHigh beat down
thats how it should have been I agree with you guys the committee screwed it up but thats their faulty reasoning
November 22nd, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Would it be fair for 2nd seeded Deer Valley to face EBAL 6th place Foothill in the first round, or would they be happier to see MVAL 3rd place Newark. People would then be saying how Foothill should have been seeded higher. The committee needs to seed the teams in the relative order of strength. The EBAL has a lot of strong teams. This year, there was a lot of parity outside of DLS and it made it difficult for the cmmittee to come away without being criticized. The best teams won in this round and the whole complaining about being dissed by seeding thing is overblown. Win the games and move on. Lose and go home. Come back next season stronger and beat some good teams in preseason to get ready for the playoffs.
November 22nd, 2009 at 5:23 pm
of course none of the top 4 are fully healthy
DLS is probably stronger now than they have been all season according to sources
DV has their best player out
AV had their best player out
MV has some injuries
Berkeley had a let down, but redeemed themselves against SL
Pitt lost Dargan.. had a bad stretch early on
Logan had 2 bad ass woopins to Foothill.. that seed was correct they should have been that low given howbad they were. and they lost to the top 3 teams too. LOL PROUD PAPA. we good we just lost to the best..
so maybe youre not on the best level yet lol
Washington had a key win over Cal.. but stumbled against Logan. If they beat Logan i’ts much clearer
Cal High beat down SRVand Foothill.. but those teams down so not much weight behind them. Loss to Washington 2twice which hurts bad
SRV wasnt going anywhere against nobody lol
Foothill should have deserved this 11 seed because they lost to SR in a down year.. but beat Logan and spanked them COlts NCS time
San Leandro had no strength of schedule almost lost to Arroyo played WCAL teams above their level and then got handled by BHigh clearly the class of the 510
Heritage got whooped twice by MV.. maybe next year guys
Newark got handled
College Park pulled the upset over a injured AV team. it is what it is and if you knew better you called it too
American lol doesnt belong in the playoffs
people said SRV doesnt belong in the playoffs but really when AMerican and SRV played it was 59-7 SRV lol 2 years ago.. SRV is not that down lol American just got lucky and really needs to beat Newark or Castro Valley first in regular season to prove they belong..
November 22nd, 2009 at 5:26 pm
agree with Prep Fan stop whining about your dam seed and win. if you’re so good win any team ebal non ebal just make the semi’s and do your work. lol its simple. and next season schedule smart and play well and you’ll be 10-0 like deer valley. play strong teams and you’ll be #2 if you win out like DV
November 22nd, 2009 at 5:43 pm
Mike,
How could Foothill deserve the 11th seed. You conveniently left out their two wins over Amador and MV? and they were the only team to beat Logan bad prior to last night. The seedings were right but kids who won showed up this weekend and got their teams to the next round. The committe used the league standings and what else could they have done. Wash lost to logan. FHS lost to Cal and SRV. Whether you like it or not, the EBAL is the stronger league top to bottom. You have to admit that so melting the teams together the committee used league strentgh. They got it right, its just the kids from Pitt, College Park, and Washington just proved they have great heart and didnt care what the seedings were. The seedings are each teams collection of work and thats all the committee has to go on. They cant decide well so and so might be able to beat so and so, so lets make them a higher seed. The seedings dont matter, the kids do and congrats to all the teams who won this weekend and congrats to all the kids who played with heart all year and got their teams to the position they did. Congrats to all the seniors who played their last HS game this weekend and good luck!
November 22nd, 2009 at 6:44 pm
Why all this talk about seedings? What is done is done. Great games next week!
Are we going to see full stats for all the games? Missing here and in papers

DV going undefeated is a nice feat for the regular season, but yet again they will stay home losers and celebrate another undefeated regular season and home loss in the playoffs to the lower seeded Pirates.
November 22nd, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Yeah get over it play-offs have started. Only thing to whine about now is if you didn’t get in.
November 22nd, 2009 at 8:17 pm
You guys got me so heated!!!
What all you EBAL homers fail to accept is that the odds are very unlikely that one league owning almost 50% and not one match-up pitting 2 of those teams against each other is highly unlikely. Just accept the bracket was seeded ultimately so that would not happen. And it compromised the entire integrity of the bracket.
1st Cal didn’t deserve a spot period. And they proved it by that egg they laid on the field this weekend.
2nd just because you “qualify” for the playoffs doesn’t mean you belong in the field.
And that quite frankly is the problem with this “new” SEEDING PROCESS. No one is held accountable for their actions. Do any of the members have any affiliation to any schools. Such as relatives, neighbors, old coaching buddies? Do they see many of the games? Not just that one league that they show a bias to because it’s close to where they live?
If you look at it the entire bottom half of the bracket was seeded incorrectly. What a coincidence the 10, 11,& 14, seeds all score upsets on the road. NO! And they are doing these kids a great disservice. Who cares if teams from the same league play each other in the 1st round if you get it right.
Simply not talking about an issue because it can not be changed at this moment is not a resolution of the initial problem. Because just like in a marriage it will rear it’s ugly head again. Don’t believe me? Just check your ex-wife’s divorce petition.
November 22nd, 2009 at 8:51 pm
MV’s receivers are definetly going to get open vs BHS-but that isnt BHS main problem. BHS needs to:
#1- tackle MV receivers after they catch the ball- they get most of their yardage after the catch- limit that and you can slow MV down considerably.
#2 put some pressure on Nottingham. Mv’s o-line can be worn down and there isnt a QB alive who likes bpressure. You cant rely too much on blitz pressure because most of MV’s offense is to unload the pass quickly.
It will be interesting as to how BHS runs vs MV’s VERY porous run defense. The Mustangs continue to give up large amounts of rushing yardage.
November 22nd, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Wanna-a -Be- hold on a minute- the EBAL has always qualified many teams to the playoffs- even when it was only 8-12 teams. Secondly, the bottom of the sections who came in at 4-6, 5-5 and 6-5 didn’t belong, that’s a NCS issue. If that means EBAL teams don’t get in, so be it. As far as California, it exposed them and Washington got their wish-beat them again. So if a less seed beats a EBAL team which is in the bottom of the brackett- that’s good for that team and help’s legit their selection. Very few teams if any that were left out that would not have been eliminated on this stupid 1st round. The best teams moved on. This process is lousy- if one of the NCS teams get a state bid they will end up playing 15 games, that’s 2 more than a college team playing in the BCS, 1 less than the NFL regular season.
The EBAL, like it or not is putting lots of kids in college football- more than the other league- check the scouting reports. And by the way, De La didn’t ask to go into the league, no one else would take them, that includes the WCAL. I for one am tired of the EBAL games vs. DLS and would like them to be independent, auto qualify for the playoffs and leave it at that. Then more teams would complain that they are getting special treatment and they would be correct, however it’s better than De La giving your team the treatment.
November 22nd, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Junior,
I think your 1st point is a non issue. I’ve seen them 3 times this year and they do know how to tackle. MV gets a lot of YAC against slower opponents. I must admit I don’t know how fast Mcgovern is. I believe I missed his combine workout numbers.
Berkeley’s overall team speed is more then MV has seen this year. This game is going to come down to coaching. Can MV’s coaching staff keep Berkeley’s coaching staff honest. If they come out with an 80/20 pass to run game plan then stick a fork in em. They do not want berkeley sending in their specialists.
And don’t ignore their speed defensively. Galvin is not the fastest player on that team. He’s not even top 5. And 3 of the top 5 all play defense. You can run off tackle. the G-power would be very effective. But run away from Bufford. He’s a 3 year varsity starter for a reason.
Lastly be satisfied with 4 yard runs. It guarantees you never see 4th down.
November 22nd, 2009 at 9:34 pm
You hold up Big (but empty headed) Joe. (And remember you started the insults)
Just because something has always been doesn’t mean it’s right. I think you’re breeding a lil too close to the gene pool again. Where thing stand that entire league receives special treatment. You can not claim strength of schedule if you are not beating the stronger teams. them you league is just top heavy. there’s a difference. Cal beat Livermore and Granada. They weren’t qualifiers. Name 2 quality wins the had.
Don’t worry I’ll wait.
November 22nd, 2009 at 9:35 pm
wannaknow
look at the history, out side of San Leandro and Pittsburg, it has been an EBAL team in the finals against DLS every year since the EBAL teams moved into 4A staus or Division 1 as they call it now. So unless you are arguing for San Leandro or Pitt, there is no argument. EBAL is the best top to bottom every year and you have to go across the bay to the WCAL to even get a comparison. If you were impartial you would have seeded it the exact same way as the committee. Just be happy for the players from CP, Pitt and Wash and don’t get silly in your judgement. There is not a person on this boeard who can make an argument that the EBAl is not the toughest league top to bottom. if so, i would love to hear a logical argument explaing differently.
November 22nd, 2009 at 9:36 pm
wannaknow- I agree with your assesment on MV getting yards against slower defenses. I cant imagine BHS defense is faster than DLS- and DLS held MV to 214 yards passing, far below their avg. MV’s receivers are not speed burners but they are certainly fast enough to keep a defense honest.
MV has run the same offense for years- BHS coaches will have no surprises. This game will come down to who is better able to execute their game. Should be fun.
November 22nd, 2009 at 9:46 pm
I’d have a hard time believing Berkeley’s team speed (especially in the secondary) is better than De La Salle’s. MV also played Pitt, which speed and talent-wise is as deep as any team in NorCal.
Nottingham absolutely torched Pitt the past two years (last year’s Pitt team is better than any NCS teams this year aside from DLS). If anything, I’d say Berkeley will have a much harder time adjusting to the MV passing game than Monte Vista will have to Berkeley’s speed simply because Berkeley is the team that has seen nothing like Monte Vista, while MV has been much more tested.
The three main receivers — McGovern, Turner and LaBarbera — will all play in college. McGovern should get major D-I looks, he’s that good. SRV coach Mark Kessler called him the best WR he’s seen in the EBAL — a list that includes Ryan Whalen who is one of the best receivers in the Pac-10 right now. I truly believe MV has the best offense in all of NCS, even better than DLS. Renegades, junior?
Berkeley needs to shorten the game and win the turnover battle. If it turns into a shootout, MV will win going away. If Berkeley can force a turnover or two, keep the MV defense on the field and ride Galvin, it can advance.
It should also be pointed out that MV hasn’t had any trouble running the ball all year. Greg Johnson was one of the area’s leading rushers until he got hurt and Michael Sullas ran for over 150 yards on Friday.
November 22nd, 2009 at 9:56 pm
As far as the EBAL seedings go, its tough not to seed them highly for the most part when you consider how the EBAL teams did in non-league games vs NCS opponents.
MV – 3-0 (all D-I playoff teams)
Foothill – 3-0 (all NCS playoff teams – Logan, Novato, Miramonte)
SRV – (1-0 Concord)
AV – (3-0 against bad teams, but league results made up for it)
Granada – (2-0, Antioch, Castro Valley)
Livermore – 2-1 against lesser teams.
California – 0-1, loss to Wash.
DLS is DLS.
When the league went 14-2 in nonleague games against NCS teams, its hard for the committee to ignore that.
Top-to-bottom its the best, but obviously the elite teams from other leagues can compete.
It would have been tough to seed a 6-4 Pittsburg team ahead of a 6-4 Foothill team when Foothill beat Monte Vista and Monte Vista crushed Pitt. Then when you factor in SRV is also 6-4 and beat Foothill, SRV had to be seeded ahead of Pitt as well. Everyone knew going in Pitt was the better team, but results matter.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Much love for you kyle but you my friend are wrong. I telling you they will play 2 man all night. That secondary is swift and they’re all hit-aholics. And I know they history of they last 2 or three years. But we’re talking this year. One game. Slowest guy in that secondary runs a 4.7 and he’s the SS playing in the box because they’re running what looks like the 46 bear.
But you are making my point. due to MV’s need to run the football to will it will not be a shoot out. They can’t come in pass happy.
Johnson’s yardage is false. He’s gaining it on a team that’s trying top stop the QB. If a team forces MV to hand off they consider that a win.
And my question is will any of those receivers “play” in college or just be on a team. They don’t create separation well. They have simply learned how to sit down in zone coverage. Which will not be there this week.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:00 pm
If we learned anything this week any of the EBAL schools (other than DLS, cause of the whole advantage of getting players from any district) can loose to these “so called weaker teams”. All your talk means nothing come game night. Cal and AV had to much fire power for non EBAL schools and we seen what happen there.
I could see Berkeley winning next week. No problem.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Logan had MV, let that win get away from them. Berkeley has more speed than Logan… once again thou we’ll see this weekend come game night.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Cal had 2 good wins this year, and both were very convincing. Both happened to be over EBAL teams, but one was Foothill who just beat Logan a 2nd time, as well as MV & AV and the other was SRV, which also beat Foothill. Face it, those are 2 nice wins, both of more than 20 points. Of their other games, they were only out of 1 game by the 4th quarter, and that was DLS. They were ahead of Washington, Del Oro and AV in the 4th quarter and were tied with MV in the 4th quarter. So yes, this was a down year for 5-6 Cal with their new head coach, but they made every team they played except DLS sweat and they have a lot of good juniors and will be back next year to play some more exciting games. They have nothing to apologize for.
Good luck to the 8 teams that remain. The sentimental favorites will be whoever wins the CP-Washington game, and whoever beats DLS. The Pitt-DV game and MV-Berk games will be absolute wars and we’ll see if Foothill and Mannion can put up some points on DLS and give them a run for their considerable money.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:05 pm
well i dont know about the mv recievers not being able to get open on the Bhs db’s. they did shred a pitt defense that has their strenght in the secondary.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:10 pm
I’ll use last year’s Pitt secondary just as a reference to show Monte Vista’s scheme has been very successful against very talented secondarys.
CB Tracy Clark (Washington State), CB Avery Patterson (Oregon, 4.3) and Erick Dargan (Big-time S recruit) was just about as fast as it gets. Is Berkeley’s secondary better than that? I haven’t seen Berkeley … I can only talk about what I’ve seen.
Tom Hemmingsen (UC-Davis) went off off against them with Nottingham as the QB. McGovern is an upgrade over him. Until a team forces MV to run, I don’t think it can be done — the passing game is that good.
McGovern and Turner will “play” … LaBarbera could end up as a TE, FB or LB.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:20 pm
Kyle don’t forget you don’t just have to worry about the receivers you got the guys out of the backfield too, Sullas can catch pretty much anything if he throws it near him (plus Johnson is coming back) and they all run well with it after the catch…
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:24 pm
I didn’t forget (post 69) … Sullas isn’t going to intimidate anyone with his stature, but all the kid does it make plays. Except the -19 yards loss – the facemask on Friday, what a weird play.
MV is also good for a few tricky plays a game and #22 is probably going to be involved somehow.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:34 pm
Kyle I would love to sit next to you at the game. Burgers and dogs on me. You get the beer after. I know football without bias. If B-high Had no shot I’d admit it. Their QB is gonna need more then 4-6 for 44 yards and 2 TD’s to keep MV from bringing their FS down. San Leandro got bored. Is it possible MV wins? Of course. But not if they come out slinging the ball all over the yard. I’m not an optimist or a pessimist. I’m a realist. Willing to admit an error. I And I don’t see a cake walk for MV this week. And if they’re not careful the can be ambushed. Plan and simple.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:34 pm
well sports fan sl states talent was no match 4 the pressure BHS put on them The had Ricky bottled up by blitzing then after Ricky broke one long run the coaches panic and went back 2 zone and Ricky had thanksgiving feast early. Fear is a strange tool. sometime u cant over come it no matter how talented ur are. Coach contantily puttimg u in position 2 fail not saying they did it on purpose but know ur players and what they r capable of thats the differecne between coach and just calling plays.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:36 pm
Wanna- I believe playing 2 man vs MV would be difficult. MV runs many crossing routes that are difficult to defend. The MV WR’s are very good at their syatem and Nottingham is patient. Nottingham is content with 4 yard tosses and letting his receivers make a play. Then you put some of your defenders back to the LOS and here comes the MV run game. Believe it, the MV offense is very tough to defend, not impossible, but tough.
Kyle B- at this stage of the year I’d put DLS and MV pretty even as best offenses in NCS. Before Houston’s take over and recent development, yes MV hands down. DLS’ o-line makes up for the passing game advantage for MV.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:48 pm
I might have to take you up on that offer if I end up at that game, still not sure where I’ll be.
I’m not saying B-High doesn’t have a shot, not at all. I know the Jackets are good, but the loss to Pinole (and Pinole’s showing the following week) does have me questioning how good they really are.
MV has had a lot of good receivers come through — Sam DeSa (Cal), Ryan Whalen (Stanford), Zach Ertz (Stanford), Kale Turner (Davis), Conor Kirkpatrick (Davis), Hemmingsen (Davis) and none of them had a year like McGovern has had this year.
90 catches, 1,871 yards, 15 touchdowns — they’re video game stats.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:51 pm
Junior,
That’s my point exactly. Do you realize they started a JV call up at MLB and moved the other guy to sam due to his speed. The JV kid had a field day. Crossing route routes are welcomed by good linebackers. He will catch it. But will he hold it? And will he hesitate in the 4th Qtr.
The QB can not be patient against that speed up front. He needs to get rid of the rock. Despite the passing numbers they’ve put up this year the O-line is a major concern for that team. The lack speed and ideal size.
November 22nd, 2009 at 10:56 pm
The O-line is actually pretty good LG Welter is up there with the best OLinemen in the area. D-Line … not so much.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:02 pm
With football season concluding the recruiting machine at Newark Memorial continues to work 24/7 to keep their 90 game (BOGUS) winning streak alive. Coach Ashmore, Willy Clark and the rest of the recruiters are pulling out all the stops to get this kid Kendall, a transfer from Salesian High School who played varsity last year to play for Newark this year. According to the rules he must sit out this season. He could play JVs but not varsity. Washington High School had a kid in a similar situation last year that was not allowed to play. Newark Memorial has been tipping the scales in their favor for years by bring in out of district ringers and this needs to stop, If Kendall is allowed to play varsity this year ALL the rest of the MVAL basketball teams should simply forfeit their game to these cheaters…Hey Ashmore, play with the kids living in your school district!

Wanna you obviously haven’t watched MV at all this year so why are you even trying to breakdown what they can and cannot do, it is OK if you are a hater that is your right but stop with all this optimist, pessamist, realist crap Jesus you luv B-high and that is good for you but until the game really you’re a full of crapperist…next wannaknow post(GREAT B-HIGH with speed to burn cuz they all run a 4.13 and can cover the wind cuz they are so fast and all hit like Mack trucks cuz nobody else does just the GREAT B-HIGH they called up the girls pom pom squad to play Mike and SS cuz it was a waste to actually have the guys play against SL blah blah blah).Get your head out of B-HIGH a$$ and come up for some air
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:33 pm
THe way 2 beat any team running 4wides is 2 run a series of hi lo brackets 2man gets exploited by crossing routes punish the WR when they catch the ball
press the slot WR make them play like fast WR and catch balls over the top no under neath routes at all
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:43 pm
Berkeley will be beatin much to the likes of how indianapolis did miami, you can run run run all you want but a pass first offense doesn’t need much time to score.
MV isn’t too good in terms fo defense and until they can actually become a good team on both sides of the ball, semifinals are all they are gonna see for a while in the D1 race.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:49 pm
Actually I don’t love B-high. I thought They should’ve got there pounded by SL. But they weren’t patient enough. What I’m saying is I like there chances “if” MV comes out throwing. & given the match-up this week the O-line Has to be a concern. Bergman will tell you it’s true. I know football and I have no bias. I route for the kids. And I actually have watched a few of tapes of Brett this year. And I’m telling you what’s there. I realize I am a harsh critic. But facts are facts. MV line leaves a lot to be desired and Berkeley’s QB is crap.
But I say these thing and you can only shout insults. You have no football knowledge or at least a JC education to draw from. Now you will scroll up or go to another board get some info and regurgitate it here.
Speed kills and MV doesn’t have much it doesn’t make them a bad team they just need to compensate for it. The WR will not be able to find a soft spot in the zone and sit down because Berkeley won’t play zone. Well at least they shouldn’t.
November 22nd, 2009 at 11:55 pm
Well being #10 isnt all that bad for Pittsburg. They got to beat up on an EBAL team on the road and get the rematch they’ve been wanting.
November 23rd, 2009 at 12:13 am
WannaKnow i like what ur say about BHs speed but hard to play man on 4WR its a breakdown somewhere in the matrix combos and brackets roll from cover 2 to cover 3
the QB at MV knows where his throwing the ball pre snap
November 23rd, 2009 at 1:22 am
Wanna know get off the board because after this post season is over you’ll be scratching your head how you got it all wrong. you cant know what the outcome of the game will be so stop speculation bullsht and just watch like the rest of us fans.
seriously mayne are you like that hard off winning arguments. take five brother and wait til friday/saturday to state facts. your opinion isnt stats. i want game stats hook me up if you be sittin wit KB. thats about as unbiased as you can get. i’d be there myself but im too busy reading the crap on this board lol
just playin
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:40 am
Ash more of the same Says, this has nothing to do with football. Who cares what Newark does, if they’re really recruiting people, don’t you think they would be in trouble by now? This is high school sports, not college where you actually recruit kids to play for their school.
November 23rd, 2009 at 12:55 pm
The stats definitely point to MV having the best offense in the EBAL and in NCS. The O-line is solid and blocks well for Nottingham. The problem is they get tired as the game goes on and that’s what DLS was able to exploit. No other teams have a D-Line like DLS at least as far as the teams MV has actually played goes. We are going to see how the Jackets line does. They do get the majority of their yards with the underneath route especially to McGovern and he is quick. That’s why blitzing can be a problem, with Nottingham getting the ball out quickly. 4 wr’s is hard to prepare for, for any defense. I expect Carter will look for a way to use his athletes against the Mustangs. I was impressed they held SL to only seven points. But MV is a few levels above SL so it will be the first real test for the Berkeley D. MV’s offense has struggled only against real physical teams which were DLS and AV. Foothill just outscored them but MV still had 37 points in the game. MV’s D has definitely struggled against the run which works in the Jackets favor but I believe the MV D is better then SL’s at this point in the season. Then again MV has only seen one rb even close to the level that Galvin is at with Ward and well 398 yards. The Jackets only win if Galvin has a monster game and keeps the ball out of Nottingham’s hands. If MV gets up by two scores at any point in the game I think it will be hard for the Jackets to play catch-up with their offense.
In regards to MV vs DLS offense, it’s hard to say. Stats work in MV’s favor, but the development of Houston has forced defenses to not just stack the box unless you are American High School who first play put 11 men in the box and watched Houston throw a pass to the TE for a 51 yard td. Then again Houston hasn’t played a full game against a great D, that’s when we will know where he is at. But DLS has some underrated receivers right now in Laird, Shapiro, and Williams as well as the TE Walter. Shapiro, a junior is tall at 6′ 4″ and MV fans know what he can do. Williams, a sophmore is fast and has great hands. Walter was the top guy coming in since he was a starter last year and has very good hands usually catches what is thrown his way except for the two pointer against Foothill. Problem was a lot of teams keyed on him at the start of the year because they knew DLS was going to throw lots of passes his way. Now with the emergence of a passer as well as some other receivers he is not being double covered as much.

Wannaknow, thanks for the knowledge of the great sport of Football. With the PV, loss, Berkeley didnt give you guys the injury report, FB #8 K. Abrams, and TE #18 J. Rosales, DNP. SL game, healthy, and back, 38-7. I have been to four MV games, this year, and watched, four more on tape. Some assestments are correct, average o line, #77 is good, qb is a 5 STAR,should go to Stanford, wr are good, and great in their scheme, But, CANNOT take a hit, very very soft, that was the big turning point in the AV game. Defense got better, moving Wilkerson to weakside end, smart. but the other 10 are very suspect, below average to average, Run Rickey Run, Stanford Bret Stanford

Don’t know much about College Park or Washington. Deer Valley QB? Of the 8 teams left in D1, do any of the teams have injured players?
November 23rd, 2009 at 4:03 pm
Fast and Physical
MV receivers cannot take a hit??? That is the most ridiculous comment I’ve seen all year on any of the blogs – and there are some doozies.
You obviously did not see the AV game. First, the turning point was the blown call by the refs at the end of regulation. Second, the full speed helmet on helmet hit on MV receiver was one of the hardest hit of the year.
The only thing soft is your brain.
November 24th, 2009 at 10:23 am
Watch that BerkeleyD wrap up and take down. fast and physical as advertised. It will be Berkeley’s game to lose. one for the bang and one for the burst
November 24th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
wow i cant believe goat got back on here after all that smack u was talkin, guess u got the stiches out. u had a lot of people lookin 4 u. i guess u ducked out after the game. what number was ur kid. and now u talking all this bout the coaching, i do recall u saying that boom is a better coach than zo. wow good call. yall got ur ass handed to u. now SL is a witness.
November 24th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
umm Fast and Phyiscal It’s UCLA lol. yeah Stanford’s doing better now, but the chance to play in LA is too much to pass up. and BHSfan i like that witness part. we’ll see who’s the witness for semis.
Beating Both Pirates is a great accomplishment. SK and Pitt in the same season dont think anybodys done that before. The 8 teams that are left are the ones to watch. Deer Valley is one of the best when healthy, Pitt is a force when they execute, MV and DLS are offensive machines, and Foothill can play defense. LOL
But you know what I’m leaving out? RICKEY RUNS OVER EVERYBODY. TIME TO SEE FOR YOURSELVES DON’T MISS THIS GAME. PLEASE BRING THE BLOG KB JD IT’S GONNA BE ONE DONT WANT TO MISS.
run rickey run & pass brett pass. lol sorry to bit that from ya. but this is gonna be huge for everybody. I have to buy into it and promote it like any good fan of the game would.
Good Luck B-High shock the world. im not talking just this round. ship. and if MV wins, shock the world mustangs next round (DLS lol)
Either of these two teams have a chance and their meeting will be incredible
btw im not a monte vista fan cuz i went to san ramon. lol so guess who im secretly rooting for. i just want the best team to win. and i really want anybody who can beat dls to do it oneday. hopefully soon before i graduate college lol
November 24th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
925 thanks for the love, and i had to say something to goat he was talkin lots of smack, but now he quiet as a church mouse
November 25th, 2009 at 1:05 am
Bhsflab i understand that u dont understand anything about football SL couldn’t pick up the blitz package they brought 8 we blocked 7 SL needed 2 bring 8 and 9 blitzers then only brought 7 time and time again at sum point ur have 2 stop ricky they choose 2 gaurd the slot when everybody no’s ricky’s getting the ball 99.9% of the time im just telling the truth as 4 my kid the QB couldnt get him the ball he was 2 busy on his back Now u bring ur best BHS Db and ur money let them go one on one like it should have been in the game ZONE TURNS 2 MAN AZZHOLE GET THE BALL 2 UR BEST PLAYER PERIOD AND LET HIM WORK.
November 25th, 2009 at 1:56 am
hey goat u want some cheese with that whine what number was ur son
November 26th, 2009 at 2:37 am
sure Bhsfan respect is all yours. Berkeley has beaten people(good teams none the less), advanced in the playoffs theres nothing in the way no more. call me a witness seeing Rickey’s game film special player Pac-10 football is going to be great in next few years.
yeah its still going to be a good year
DLS over Foothill
B-high over Monte Vista(has anyone seen them in the post season. 05,06,07,08.. not gotten very far)
I think this year’s B-Hi team is about as talented as any that MV faces all year outside DLS. that run game is for real
Washington/CP -push. either team plays a good game will win. the turnovers and penalties will be a factor.
Pitt over Deer Valley.. Pitt just has more all together. DV is more reliant on their key players who dont know if they are 100%
D2
Petaluma over Cardinal Newman
Clayton over Montgomery
Casa Grande over LL
Ygnacio over Eureka
D3
Encinal over Fortuna
Novato over Miramonte
MC over Analy
Alhambra over Tamalpais
D4
St. Mary’s over J-S
Valley Christian over Middletown(upset likely?)
Fort Bragg over Ferndale
Salesian over SPSV
