NCS Division I football championship set for O.co Coliseum
By Ben Enos
Tuesday, November 8th, 2011 at 2:55 pm in East Bay Football.
Straight from tomorrow’s paper, here’s the lowdown on this year’s North Coast Section football championships.
Two NCS championship games will again be held at the O.co Coliseum this season, associate commissioner Karen Smith said Tuesday. The Division I game will definitely be held in Oakland, but whether Division II or III is the other game depends on what teams advance. Both games will be played on Dec. 10, and game times will be 3:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. Which game will be played at which time has yet to be decided.
Whichever game ends up not being played in Oakland will likely be played in the Redwood Empire, probably at Santa Rosa Junior College. Other possible championship sites include Alhambra High and Humboldt State University.

I hope that it’s D2 at the Coliseum. I loathe games in the Coliseum. It’s expensive and eerie to have so little of it filled. It’s far better to have a packed high school stadium with barbecues being run by the Dads Club selling hotdogs that don’t cost eight dollars. If my beloved Cardinal Newman Cardinals make it to the championship, put them at Ernie Nevers Field. Let De La Salle and Windsor have the Coliseum.
November 8th, 2011 at 4:31 pm
Hey Ben, If the higher seed is from the North Bay, will the game be played up north? Like if its, No1 Windsor vs No3 Las Lomas for DII?
November 8th, 2011 at 4:32 pm
Depends on who’s in the D-III game. If there are two North Bay teams in the other game, then maybe a Windsor-LL game stays down here. Tough to say. It’s all pretty fluid until the games are actually set.

Gotcha, thanks for the follow up man!
November 8th, 2011 at 5:40 pm
Guys….I prefer that all three D-1…D-2…D-3 be played at the coliseum…..It is a very big deal for the kids to make to the coliseum..BUT I hear Patrick..a packed house at the High School fields seems to inspire the kids and the fans…there is that certain atmosphere that is created that never happens in the coliseum….
November 8th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
Every kid wants to play at the coliseum.
November 8th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
Let me guess D2 like the last 4 years
November 8th, 2011 at 7:20 pm
Wait, look at this: http://cifncs.org/media/files/FBmediainformation2011.pdf
The media program for this year says that parking will be $25!!!! AHHHH!
November 8th, 2011 at 7:50 pm
Jonathan,
Just park at the BART station across the street! It’s free and there is a ramp directly to the Colosseum. That’s what I did for the Giants v. A’s game.
-MF
November 8th, 2011 at 9:09 pm
$25 to park is bad enough and they would not allow anyone to tailgate (or at least tried not to allow it
) last year.
November 8th, 2011 at 10:46 pm
$25.00 at the entrance then you may get robbed in the lot or mugged….And no B-B-Q..what a sad state…oh yes $10.00 or $12.00 per person to enter the field..Bring lots of money….But as Moreau Fan said …use the Bart parking lot and not all will be lost…
November 8th, 2011 at 11:37 pm
Believe me. Every kid wants to play for an NCS championship. I was one of them that got the opportunity. When it comes down to that, the location matters very little. Better to have a local stadium bursting at the seams where you can hardly get standing room, let alone hear anything than a mostly empty and quiet behemoth of a coliseum. But maybe I’m old fashioned.
November 9th, 2011 at 5:58 am
Patrick, your points are better then mine. But believe me. But to step on the field that Bo Jackson, Tim Brown, Ken Stabler, Jim Otto, Art Shell, and Mr Davis built. Man no better feeling
November 9th, 2011 at 6:55 am
i disagree with the decision to keep using the coliseum..Not only is it expensive and not fan friendly. It is the worst stadium in the NFL, not like we are playing in dallas stadium. If the weather is bad it becomes a slosh bowl (not the way the game is played anymore) same reason super bowls are in domes and warm weather stadiums. if the staduim actually got 30% filled might be ok, but when the entire stadium is really empty for the game it takes the luster out…feels like you are playing in a park with no fans, because they can’t be loud enough to even be a factor…fill the stadium, standing room only, some BBQ, and the atmosphere of what high school football is about. Texas plays in big stadiums, why? because they fill them. We don’t or even come close. I still think Cal is the best venue. (although would have to pay to park)As it offers plenty of seating, but it is more intimate atmosphere where the fans can get into the game. at the coliseum you are so far removed.
problem is most high school stadiums aren’t even seating on both sides to accomodate these games. But i still think you would get a better turn out, if they were say at DVC then the coliseum. (especially for D1)
November 9th, 2011 at 7:42 am
I would like it better in a High School stadium. I agree that the small crowd in a large facility just feels creepy!

PENN STATE!!!
yOU SAID EARLIER U DIDNT BLAME tom Brady 4 SPY GATE
when everyone in that organization knew about spy gate
which mean they all cheated they all watched the film
i guess only the child molester is too blame in this case also… not the slow dudes that covered it up…
* im willing 2 bet u and the child molester are of the same faith
November 9th, 2011 at 9:26 am
That’s enough. I really think Chalktalk should be banned for that comment. That one went way too far to not only trivialize the tragedy that is child molestation and sexual assault but put religious descrimination as well. He needs to be kicked off.
November 9th, 2011 at 9:49 am
its must b trivial JOE P gets to keep his job
molestation must be real low on the broads list of no no’s JUST KEEP MAKING THAT MONEY child molester
November 9th, 2011 at 9:51 am
first amendment u ever heard of that
Patrick thats on of ur rulers
November 9th, 2011 at 11:14 am
D-3 championship game should be the one that is definitely in the coliseum. That will be the best game of all three divisons.

if we used ur logic half the people in jail wouldn;\’t b in jail

not 2 mention the moral obligation as a human being
i can only think that there is a whole cult of child molesters down there. Did they get the mans computer whats on it… UR worried about me on the blog PATRICK u should b worried about the slow dude recuiting ur kids
OH __ can u still buy ur way into heaven??????????
November 9th, 2011 at 12:02 pm
Chalktalk,
I would say your an idiot, but most of the time I can’t even tell what the hell your talking about!
Two suggestions:
Learn how to speak English.
Make sense with your comments.
November 9th, 2011 at 12:11 pm
if this was EDDIE ROBINSON down at gambling
would he still have a job HELL NO!!!
the’re praising a master manipulator
they said JOE P has integrity he’s a molder of young men
yep molding and holding
November 9th, 2011 at 12:30 pm
I don’t think anyone is defending Paterno, I certainly am not. But you have to do your investigation before you tear the whole program down. What happened at Penn State is sick to the core and heads should and will role. But we can’t be reactive in situations like this.
November 9th, 2011 at 2:47 pm
The DIII game should be played in the area of the highest seeded team.
November 9th, 2011 at 3:42 pm
they big problem here is that we all keep responding to a person who makes no sense and cant really understand what the hell he is saying most of the time, this person says some very dumb, close to racist and idiotic type comments. by all of us sane people cont to respond to this person it just fueling his fire, ego and gives him the attention he craves, so i have taken a suggestion of another blogger and have been ignoring this person.
bleachercoach
i think we all know the reason u say that is due t mst people figure mc and cn will be the 1 and 2 seed adn u want that game close to home for u, cant blame u, but u know that if both are not in the champ game it will b vs a eastbay school and bcuz its been so much hype abut the div 3 backet they will have that game at the coliseum to make more money i think the whole bracket will b very good though
November 9th, 2011 at 4:08 pm
Joe Pa Is the Capt. Of the Ship. He had to know something was going on and in 2002 He got the word from a Grad Asst. that saw it going down. Yeah he told his boss but the next call had to be to the Cops. Yep Joe Pa is not going to Jail but he going no doubt and if i was him I’d coach from the booth! Jet Pride!

WHY NOT TALK ABOUT AN ISSUE THAT WILL EFFECT HIGH SCHOOL SPORT. some one has already said he was promised a walk-on spot 4 his silence

When I was with 7th Cal in Nam we took certain prisioners up top and interogated them- when they babbled and bumbled on and spoke little English because they didn’t want to cooperate, we threw one out of the Huey onto the tree-tops, It was amazing how this opened up the conversation with the remaining ones. We have a certain blogger who is basically the same. Be a judge, jury and executioner and stop responing to him.
November 9th, 2011 at 7:44 pm
In the muscle car days a G.O.A.T. refered to a Pontiac GTO, usually a 389 or 455. It was a powerful machine that looked good, sounded good and ran well. Our G.O.A.T. is none of this. He’s a VW bug.
November 9th, 2011 at 7:59 pm

Jimmy, Ben,
Thanks for the article on the kids signing letters of intent today. Nice crop of student athletes moving on to the next level. Any surprises on decommiments? I heard the kid from Serra (Wilson) changed his mind and decided to head to Washington in lieu of Colorado? Aware of any others?
November 9th, 2011 at 9:15 pm
S1lver, no real surprises because today wasn’t a football signing day. That comes in February. Ton of local baseballers signing though. Gonna be a good year for high school baseball.
November 9th, 2011 at 9:18 pm
Ha! Baseball guys can decommit too! (-: thanks

Berkeley vs EC- If EC has a real shot at the D-3 crown they will beat Berkeley but if they lose it won’t do anything. I like the way Berkeley has been playing as of late and with a healthy team they should be able to match EC athletic ability and beat them.
I like the Yellow Jackets in this one.
Berkeley wins 42-28
Heritage vs Deer Valley- These two teams are in tough spots right now and the season hasn’t gone as planned for either team but they both have the chance to head into the playoffs on a high note. I like DV
DV wins 28-13
Las Lomas vs Acalanes- LL hasn’t been able to beat the top teams in the division but I personally think they could have a chance in D-2 but it starts with a win over the Dons
LL wins 28-14
Miramonte vs Alhambra- The Mats should kill the Dogs but in this league you never know what’s possible. It could be a tough one as Miramonte has to win one on the road on Alhambra’s senior night.
Mats win 28-18
JFKRich vs Piedmont- The Eagles have some of the best athletes in the bay but can they stop Piedmont’s air attack? Eagles could be in better shape for playoffs if they pulls out should have been wins against St. Mary’s and Moreau Catholic but they didn’t. A lot riding on this game for the Eagles and I think they get it done.
JFKRich wins 42-35
San Leandro vs BOD- BOD can close the deal on a HAAL crown with a win and be in good shape for the playoffs but beating SL won’t be a easy task. If rumors are correct SL gets some players back for this game and it should be a good one folks.
BOD wins
November 10th, 2011 at 7:06 am
I see the same ManDown but I see SL winning. They’re playing for any chance of hope in the play-offs in getting a home game with a league championship. Also their senior night. They’ll play with a heavy heart I see them winning.
November 10th, 2011 at 8:22 am
if sl beats BOD ill stop posting
sl has a far more talented team than BOD
but sl players seem 2 b out of position alot so heres a tip
PRAY
November 10th, 2011 at 8:24 am
How i see it: bod 27 sl 20 berkeley 41 ec 27 dls 49 cal 7 jets 41 moreau 14 berean ch. 35 Salesian 28 alhambra 34 miramonte 31
November 10th, 2011 at 8:51 am
Berean vs Salesian- The Pride have a really good football team this year and they look primed to go undefeated this year and hanging another banner. But if any team can beat the Pride this year it will be Berean. Berean is tough and will give Salesian all they can handle on there senior night.
Salesian wins 35-28
DLS vs Cal High- It will be over by halftime. It won’t be anything like last years match.
DLS wins 56-14
Tennyson vs Arroyo- It will be tough for Tennyson to go on the road and beat the Dons but it is somthing they must do if they don’t want to go 1 and out in D-3. The Lancers must take care of business on the road and HC JB needs to end the season on a high note.
Tennyson wins 21-14
Hercules vs Pinole Valley- This is a interesting game for both teams. Its Pinole’s senior night but how good are they? Hercules is 7-2 but who have they beat? The Titans RB must have a big game for them to have a shot at beating PV but it won’t happen.
PV wins 42-21
Moreau Catholic vs Encinal- If all goes right Encinal will win this game easy but Moreau will play them tough. Its hard to get a win down on that muddy field Encinal has but it can be done. But I don’t see that happening this year for the Mariners. Encinal should expect the top D-3 teams in the house to watch this one.
Encinal wins 56-21

Dudleydawson,
Haven’t you been betting against Miramonte all year? It seems like you have picked Miramonte to be upset about half a dozen times. Guess one out of six isn’t too bad!
In terms of Alhambra, I very much doubt they will run up the score against Miramonte. Their running game has potential (Poyadue will be a force next year), but their passing game sucks! Mirmamonte’s defense has been strong against the run (ask Liberty, Acalanes, Las Lomas and Dublin) and the teams that have been able to pass against Miramonte have had very good QBs (Analy/Zanutto, LL/Wood, Campo/Stephens). I really hope Alhambra puts the ball in the air; Campo got six picks, we should be able to manage at least four!
Their best hope for a win is ball control/strong defense/low score win. I think if they win it would be 17-14 or something like that.
My best guess is a competitive game in which Miramonte wins 28-21 or perhaps 35-14 if things get more out-of-hand. I just can’t see their run-only offense being able to generate many points with us likely loading the box. My biggest concern is their defense being able to shut down the run and pressure the QB, stalling drives, etc. In the end, Anderson WILL break a long run for a TD and one or two of our other playmakers (Booze, Pietrikowski, Honnens, Solit, Deutz, Bruen, Williams) WILL have big games. We WILL be able to put together 4 or 5 scores and take it home!
November 10th, 2011 at 9:59 am
Does anyone know when alameda will have there banquet would love to be there and hear kempers lies. He probably say he expects to be a winning team next year how injuries cost him but its not his fault but it was rochlins fault a year ago when guys got hurt. I wonder if he’ll say he asked to be in a league with retards that he doesnt believe he can be in the same league as the big boys or just lie. Kemper why dont you believe next year you can turn the corner not enough talent? A team football what are your thoughts on kemper begging to be in a trash divison?
November 10th, 2011 at 10:19 am
Chalktalk says: “if sl beats BOD ill stop posting”. I imagine there will be a lot of people suddenly pulling for SL.
November 10th, 2011 at 10:27 am
Go Pirates!
November 10th, 2011 at 11:20 am
Watch out 617lemon, Moyer might get the last laugh this year. He might send film to all of the DIV 3 contenders this year showing them how to hang 41 on your Jets.
November 10th, 2011 at 11:56 am

i c u speak my dialect
enjoy
when BOD beats SL
the jokes will be plentiful
November 10th, 2011 at 1:00 pm
what part of the game is it when a 28 year old man see an older man having inter course with a 10 year old boy an he walks away – doesnt stop the act doesnt intervene in any fashion and still has his job
the slow dudes are teaching integrity
the slow dudes are teaching morals
EVERYONE ON THIS BLOG SHOULD ASK THEMSELVES

November 10th, 2011 at 1:26 pm
yes the 28 year old is the wr coach a penn ST and the plot thickens

Lemon,
Alameda Banquet is Tues Dec 13. I would love to see you question Kemp to his face. I’ll even pay for your ticket.
It will be entertaining to hear your excuse for not making it.
November 10th, 2011 at 3:02 pm
prep fan ur the sloooooooooooow dude
November 10th, 2011 at 3:22 pm
Thanks buddy.
November 10th, 2011 at 3:46 pm
braveheart is that ticket none refundable cause you know how kemper be canceling the kids paid for a 2 day camp at marin kemper ended up tucking his tail and pulling a no show with no refund the kids were charged for 2 days.
November 10th, 2011 at 4:13 pm
Do you want to go or are you just are tough talking internet coward?
November 10th, 2011 at 4:22 pm
tough enough, with a name like braveheart you cant be from alameda theres nothing brave about kempers hornets or why would he ask to play in the jv league?
November 10th, 2011 at 4:55 pm
So I guess the answer is no, that was predictable.
BTW isn’t encinal in alameda?
But I guess with open enrollment most of the football team is doesn’t live in alameda.
November 10th, 2011 at 5:32 pm
CampoMan,
Encinal is not a secret to the top team in DIII. There is plenty of film on the Jets. However most will find that hanging 41 on the Jets is easier said than done.
Tonight going for their 4th BSAL championship without loss. Tomorrow they go for their 4th trip to DIII Championship. I’ll 2 out 4.
Jet Pride!!
November 10th, 2011 at 5:36 pm
yes encinal is in alameda very good but there is an obvious difference between the squads from what i can tell one coaches there asses off the other stabs his ex boss in the back & does worse the next year. coach arnerich doesnt have a problem with the demographics why does kemper? braveheart whats the definition of competitive equity? braveheart whats your thoughts on kemper wanting to play in the b league & not the a?
November 10th, 2011 at 5:44 pm
alameda sucks! last time they won a playoff game disco was in!
November 10th, 2011 at 6:46 pm
I was wondering When the Haters would get started. Jet Pride!
November 10th, 2011 at 6:58 pm
Everybody knows alameda is a baseball town which is the reason encinal looks elsewhere for lots of its talent.
November 10th, 2011 at 7:10 pm
Braveheart,
Pardon my digestion but I think St. Joe (current CA State Champions) would offer some argument. Opinion are OK but facts speak volumes. You may want to google St. Joes and state champs and see how many years you get.
November 10th, 2011 at 7:52 pm
Braveheart has Encinal confused with De La salle. Alameda Unified does not have open Enrollment. Encinal is Just a Talented well Coached team. Stop hating. Jet Pride!
November 10th, 2011 at 9:23 pm
Old Coach,
Wake and check the roster.
November 10th, 2011 at 9:57 pm
I know the Program and know what I’m talking about. Stop Hating. Encinal is just a good Football team. Jet Pride!
November 10th, 2011 at 10:21 pm
No hate, but but let’s get the facts straight. There is open enrollment and a good % of the football team does not live in alameda.
November 10th, 2011 at 11:04 pm
BraveHeart is correct according to the AUSD Website a student athlete does not have to be a resident of Alameda:
“Students living outside the AUSD city limits who wish to attend our schools must apply for an interdistrict permit from their home district, then bring it to the AUSD office of Student Services for approval. Applications may be denied, or the permit revoked for poor behavior, attendance or grades. Interdistrict permits must be renewed each year. Employees of the AUSD do not have to renew the permit each year.”
Am sure that rule applies to the entire Island which says more about the difference in coaching/programs of the the two schools rather than the home addresses of the student athletes.
November 10th, 2011 at 11:51 pm
Brave Heart or cowardly lion. B.V. And 5th street. Expos and Poggi. Crolls Village. Marina and Ballena Bay fool. Eagle village and Para village. The Towers sucka. west side football. No bay farm boys here.
