Ebal may be weaker than years past, but the top 4 or 5 seeds in D1 will be from the EBAL. Northgates plays one quality team in their league.BC if playing in the Ebal might win 2 MAYBE 3 matches. Hopefully both teams make finals and they both go to NorCals.

Also, Maria Corrilo and Northgate are the only league winners and will have home games, regardless of the seedings, unless they play eachother, then the highest seed will be home.

Matt,
My guess is that Redwood is a lock at # 1 and Maria Corrillo will be a lock at #3. The committees like to spilt the seeds East Bay/North Bay. This measnNorthgate/Carondelet will be # 2 and # 4 seeds. In the end, I think it will come down to head-to-head and Northgate will get the #2 seed and Carondelet will be #4 seed. Daryll, sorry but you have to win the matches when they are played, September or November. Also, the EBAL is much weaker this year than in years past.

Darryl makes a great point. I have seen these committees rely very heavily on head to head, so don’t be surprised if Northgate is ahead of Carondelet.
I think Carondelet should be the top seed in Division II, but if they are going Northgate No. 2, they might flip flop them.

Northgate won in the first tourney of the year and since then they have had lesser competition.Corondelet has two wins this week alone against Foothill and Cal high this week alone. They should be ranked higher and could be number one.

Matt, how do you think Northgate and Carondelet will be seeded in Division 2? Northgate is a league winner at 12-0 AND beat Carondelet head-t0-head, but Carondelet plays in th etough EBAL

Normally each coach will nominate a certain number of kids, often predetermined by the teams’ finish in league play. The nominating coach cannot vote for their own players but, they lobby the other coaches to vote for their players. There is usually some horse trading that goes on to assure that kids that a coach feels is especially worthy get selected. This is probably the best way to choose the teams as the coaches have seen all the kids in the league and know the ones that played well against them.
