@EB FB FAN,

I meant that this particular blog should be kept to COY and All League for basketball. I have seen posts change and I wanted this one to stay on topic, that’s all. If people want to comment on football, start another blog.

Congrats to all the bb coaches and players.

re post #24, Jesuit is the #4 seed and Bellarmine was the #5 seed. Jesuit at 25-6 has a better record than the 18-12 Bells. CalPreps lists Jesuit as the #6 D1 team in CA while the Bells are at #13.

Jesuit’s only losses are to Sheldon, Salesian, Sacred Heart & Newark, 4 of the top tier teams in NorCal. Plus they have beaten Newark and BOD once each and Pleasant Grove 3 times. Bellarmine might have been able to beat them head to head, but I thik Jesuit would have to have been favored had they played this year.

That BO team when Will left picked Monnihan at center, 9.8 sprinter Greg Jones and 49 second quartermiler Ron Handley. They ran a lot of fast break and gunned, only local teams as good as them were St. Mary’s, St. Joe’s, Castlemont and of course BHS. Hayward High with Warren Morse and El Cerrito with Wayne Kemp also could hang. All before the 3 pt. shot. Just think what the scores and scoring champs would have been with the 3 pointer in existance.

one of the posts on Vierra at O’Dowd was that he let his 6’6 men gun 25 footers against Campo instead of going instead, keeping Campo in the game for a half.
O’Dowd let Campo hang around for a half. The final score is what counts.
Let’s not make Campo out to be something they are not.
The Dragons have always been a school of gunners- Greg Will, Tiechera, Guy Williams and so on. They had a lot of swagger. They like to gun and are usually very successful.
They liked to tease teams in the past then light it up.
Campo was no exception-they were teased and then over run- typical O’Dowd BB.

Wow- coach vierra at odowd steps away. his record averages out to 24-7 a season over 6 yrs. He will be missed.
Not to worry , that program has been winning since Frank Laporte was there in the early sixties.

That was a real nice win last night by CV on the road over WCAL power Bellarmine. Now they face an even bigger test with 25-6 Jesuit on Saturday. Great job by coach Jones and it sounded like the younger Trojans came up big when they needed them. That bodes well for the future.

There is no “deal” with Hardy at BOD. As noted above by another poster, any time BOD football is mentioned, it seems to generate 500 posts, usually surrounding Hardy Nickerson or Paul Perenon (the previous coach) “haters”.

Nickerson has been a success by any definition: reviving interest in the program/increasing the academic standing of the players/winning. Paul is doing a nice job at Mount Eden, too. Not sure what there is to complain about.
