Amadi was a football player his freshman year and a good one at that. Decided to focus on basketball however.

Amadi Udenyi- THE best EBAL defender by far. If he were a CB, they would call him a shut down corner. Amazing drive by this kid- tough physically and mentally. Playing against him has got to be a nightmare.

DLS has stepped up their intensity- gonna be a great NCS this year-looking forward to DLS, Newark, Berkley and CV.

There are some other really good players…I haven’t heard anything about one of John Swett players….what about Isaac Jackson….he is a senior at John Swett high school…plays hard and strong…check out his stats when you get a moment….

I am just saying….

I was not ignoring it, but Berkeley was undefeated and playing well at the time and CV lost an extremely clos one in OT. DLS also has 2 losses. I just think CV’s top wins are more impressive than DLS’s are, and like I said I would have to favor CV if they played DLS today. DLS is right there with them though and either are #2 if not the top dog.

The forfeit is what it is. If Bird was not eligible and should not have played, then I think CV wins that game as Bird was the best player on the court that day and would have meant a great deal more than the 2 points they won by. I hate forfeits but if they played today without Bird, I see CV winning this time around.

Prep Fan- There is a case for CV to move over them for the top spot after beating BOD, but CV also has that loss to Berkeley that can’t be ignored.

I will take bod and sheldon in the next matchups with CV but yes they probably should be ranked 1 I do not count the forfit win that is a joke none of those games should count as wins just not as a game

So does CV now jump over DLS into the top slot? They were very impressive last night in beating #2 BOD and beat Sheldon by a wider margin than did DLS, and also have a win over #4 Oakland. Those are 3 pretty impressive victories and they have the best record in the East Bay now that Salesian forfeited all those games. I think I would have to favor CV if they played DLS today, but we may get to see that matchup in the playoffs if they both continue to win as they could and probably will be the #1 & #2 seeds at NCS.

Kennedy will move up now. Not to No. 1, but they’ll get a bump. There’s no comparing their schedule to the other teams in the poll though. Until Newark, there hadn’t been a real quality team they had beaten and they had only played one elite team (Analy). To get a top ranking, you need to play a top schedule. It shouldn’t take anything away from Kennedy’s record or the impressive win over Newark, but the schedule just doesn’t allow for a really high ranking unless they knock off some teams in the playoffs like El Cerrito or O’Dowd.

It is very odd that the team with the best winning record (18-2, 6-0 in League is ranked 12th and not first. John F. Kennedy-Fremont Titans
