OAL playoff schedule — UPDATED

Posted on by Jimmy Durkin

Even with the regular season still not officially over (McClymonds hosts Oakland today to close play in a make up of their game that was postponed), the Oakland Athletic League playoff schedule is already finalized. Even if Mack upset Oakland today it can’t climb above fifth place. So here is the schedule:

UPDATED: Apparently the OAL jumped the gun when it released the boys basketball brackets. With Mack’s win over Oakland on Friday to get the Warriors to 5-5, there is a three-way tie for third between Mack, Fremont and Oakland Tech. Following the league’s tie-breaker policy, Mack gets the third seed, Fremont the fourth and Tech the fifth. So below are the revised pairings.

Boys
First round
Tuesday, March 2
No. 5 Oakland Tech at No. 2 Castlemont, 6:30 p.m.
No. 4 Fremont at No. 3 McClymonds, 6:30 p.m.

Semifinals
Thursday, March 4
Fremont/McClymonds winner vs. Oakland Tech/Castlemont winner, higher seed hosts, time TBA

Championship game
Saturday, March 6
TBD vs. No. 1 Oakland at Laney College, 2 p.m.

Girls
First round

McClymonds/Oakland Tech winner vs. Fremont/Castlemont winner, higher seed hosts, time TBA

    Eculb please dont get too excited about that Mack win today. It really means nothing. They did well to fight back and make a playoff push. Now they have to beat fremont again, and I think fremont has a good chance. and if they get by them they have to deal with tech or the Castle,not an easy road for a very young team.

    LETS BE REALISTIC FELLAS WE ALL KNOW THAT FREMONT WILL SLIP PAST MACK AND THE CASTLE’S GONNA SLIDE PAST TECH, THEN FREMONT WILL SQUEEZE A WIN FROM TECH BECAUSE ITS VERY HARD TO BEAT A TEAM THREE TIMES!!! THATS WHEN THE WEALTHY AND WELL RESTED WILDCATS WILL RUN THRU THOSE FREMONT TIGERS AND GO ON A POTENIAL STATE RUN!!!!!! THATS HOW I SEE IT UNFOLDING….
