That would be a real nice win for them, but I’m still not sure if they would pass Campo, as that is one heck of a team, and Campo already has some nice wins. We’ll see how the Spartans do in the St. Francis Tourney.

Big game for the Spartans on Tuesday evening with the 3rd ranked nationally St. Francis Lancers. Could vault DLS to the top of the east bay polls. Looking forward to some great baseball.

Yeah we lost to livermore and then mitty two good teams. Although there might have been some bad coaching decision overall the girls played great. Probably could have went the other way if it weren’t for a couple of minor things…..

Alhambra dropped two games today. Too much talent to lose both games. Coaching errors were the key to both loses.DAMN SHAME……… I’m just say’in.

Just witnessed Acalanes absolutely throttle Alameda 9-0 thru four innings. The DFAL is showing their colors again having won 4 NCS titles in the past 2 years.

They won that game and Flexen went five and was trailing 1-0 at the time he was taken out. As for the recent wins, I agree with Prep Fan that those are not surprises. Which takes this back to JDINUC’s question.
Where is Dougherty Valley in the rankings?

It is a tough plce for DV to be in, competing against smaller schools in league play, and then having to go up against the bigger schools in the playoffs. College Park was in that position until this year when they dropped down to D2. DV will need to schedule some D1 non-league games in order to be able to prepare for the playoffs, assuming they can even make the playoffs as they will first have to prove themselves against the DFAL teams. I don’t see them dominating the DFAL teams, but they seem to be making progress in most sports the last few years.

RaB2- Expect DoV to be very competitive in certain sports like they have in Girls hoops. But to link league athletic success via enrollment (of a five year old “new” school) a la Logan is premature. The demographics in the Tassajara/Dougherty corridor is a major factor along with families with athletes having a narrow choice as to whether to attend MV, SRV and DoV. In some cases, it’s allowed sport specific choices as the district was trying to fill DoV and reduce crowding at SRV and MV (i.e. houses were NOT being built at an expected rate in DoV due to the recession). But SRVUSD has become quite strict with it’s boundaries as DoV is starting to fill up. When DoV opened in 2007, it was a very watered down version of open enrollment policies compared to the two Lafayette schools.
