Mandown & Chalktalk are two of the dumb fans who never evolve. They just sit up there with a degree in Madden 2011 and criticize the real coaches. Where have you two ever coached? Where did you ever play? Who are you? You hide behind screen names & belong to nothing. Yet you’re on here crticizing every coach who gives all of their time & energy to the kids in their community.

You two aren’t qualified to judge whether a coach is good or bad. How many college teams have you coached for? You get on here and run your mouth just to get a reaction. What do you two do for a living? Collect unemployment? On blogs all day talkin about nothing you know about. Just do us all a favor go get a job & shut up.

Yeah, it has been discussed about a WCAL-EBAL showcase. It would actually work for next year if they got a team for DLS because both MV and SRV have to travel to the South Bay next year. Maybe Valley Christian? Who knows it would be fun, DLS has two open dates next year as of right now so it would be nice to see them play another WCAL team. Think the WCAL is deeper this year then the EBAL. The EBAL and maybe even NCS overall for that matter is a little down this year compared to most. I know it’s early, but just a feeling I have. My comment about SRV’s win being more impressive, is just that I feel Mitty is much better than either teams that Cal has beaten so far, so feel like SRV should be above them. But who knows, it’s so early that everything that has been said could be completely different at the end of the year.

Actually now that you mention it, I think Cal Hi Sports had VC and St. Francis as the top 2 WCAL teams, not Bellarmine. So if Mitty may be the 5th place team in the WCAL, how impressive is SRV’s last second win at home against them? If Mitty runs the table in the WCAL, then it will end up having been very impressive, but if Mitty ends up the year 5-5? Still, a win is a win, and SRV is 1-0 with a newly comitted Pac 10 QB at the helm. 2-5 in the EBAL may just come down to who has the home field advantage in some of those matchups.

I would love to see even more battles between these two fine leagues. I think Livermore beats Riordon, as Dougherty Valley beat them badly last week. I would take Amador and Granada over SHC and SI, or maybe a split there. DLS obviously beats whoever their top team is, and the 2-5 matchups would be incredible battles. They could play on a nuetral field such as Chabot College or Cal-State EB over 2 weekends.

I completely agree with what you said, I am just stating my own personal opinion here that I believe Serra is better than Mitty. I agree we find out more about Serra this week, Mitty is playing Palo Alto which made the Open Division last year in CCS. Don’t know how good they are this year though. Yes this year and next year have been pegged as the years that St. Francis would dominate the WCAL. From what has happened so far this year and what I have heard from CCS and WCAL fans alike is that they have no offense at all, but a lights out defense. That offense took a hit last week when their top receiver went down with an injury, don’t know how long he is out for. Granted they play in the WCAL where points aren’t necessarily scored in bunches, but they also will be playing some very physical defenses that will make it even harder to put points up. Bellarmine is very young this year. They had seven or eight sophs on varsity last year, and I heard there overall level is alright and that they were moved up just to get experience, not necessarily because they were studs. Smart move by a smart coach. The same thing was said about them last year and they came out with a bowl bid, but I just don’t see it this year. Valley Christian is my pick to win the WCAL as they seem to have the most complete team out of everybody. The other contenders seem to have one or two issues that could create some problems, and I don’t see that with Valley Christian. Plus, it doesn’t hurt to have on of the top RB’s in the country for 2012 running out of your backfield. I know this board doesn’t cover the WCAL but my guess for their rankings would be
1. Valley Christian
T2. Serra
T2. St. Francis (would not be surprised if these two tied during the regular season)
4. Bellarmine
5. Mitty (these two could switch)
6. SI
7. SHC
8. Riordan

All this talk about BOD and Arroyo but isn’t SLZ in the HAAL? Didn’t SLZ beat BOD and Arroyo last year and finished 6-4. SLZ just beat Mt. Diablo 29-6. Now I know Arroyo and BOD has some good athletes but I wouldn’t count coach Wright and The Rebels out yet.

It is hard to say how good Serra and Mitty are based on the 1st 2 weeks of the season. Cal Hi Sports had Bellarmine and St. Francis at the 2 top teams from the WCAL this year, so that means they see Serra and Mitty as no better than 3rd or 4th place teams. Mitty won the WCAL last year, but may not be in the top 3 this year? Serra looked overmatched against DLS, but got past MV. We should have a better idea on them after the Encinal game this week. Maybe Serra is a lot better then Mitty? Maybe MV’s close loss was more impressive than SRV’s close victory? Time will tell. It is fun that our East Bay teams are playing a lot of games with the WCAL teams, and I hope that trend continues.

Renegades10, Thanks for the info on how Heritage was picked. I wasnt stirring things up I was curious how they were picked due to their easy preseason schedule. Thanks again.
