@19 that could be true but omitting those creates a question mark as to accuracy. True the issue with FCs. Those are easy. Too many ROE’s are listed as H and that’s just wrong. Although this subjectivity would probably not be from a coach inputter but from a biased scorer, it’s more common than appears on the surface. On site scoring from the last two years, the BANG box scores and listed MPS supports the contention. It’s not the end all, I agree. Coaches know who are the good players.

Again, good luck to all the teams in NCS.

@maxprepstats, just because those teams don’t input the ROE and FC on the maxpreps site doesn’t mean their averages aren’t accurate. Trust me, coaches understand that a FC or a ROE is considered an at bat but do not take the time to input those things as a stat on maxpreps. For example, Johnny goes 0-3 with 2 FCs and 1 boot by the SS. the Coach will put it in as 0-3 but won’t spend the time totaling and inputting that in those xollumns on maxpreps. The stats are accurate. The only stat that may not be is Stolen Base Attempts.

St. Mary’s won the BSAL with a 4-2 win over Salesian on Saturday. Good game, too much Flemer for the Pride. The kid was really dealing, he’s going to be worth watching as he moves up the ranks. Wouldn’t be surprised to see another match up with these two late in the D4 tournament.

D2
1 Campo
2 Dougherty Valley
3 Newark Memorial
4 College Park
5 Casa Grande
6 Northgate
7 Alameda
8 Clayton Valley

That’s the top 8 when looking at quality wins.

That’s the top 8 if you look strictly at quality wins.

Season evals of scorekeepers. Schools may want to look into Gamechanger software. Easy, user friendly on Pads and auto loads to MaxP.
Congrats League Champs and good luck to all the qualifiers in NCS.

EBAL-
The following published accurate BAs, etc. for offense by factoring into ABs ROE/FC- AV, Cal, Liv and DLS. Therefore, those BAs are accurate. AV (.249), Cal (.291), DLS (.321), Liv (.266). Factoring the mean ROE + FC (38) for the four accurate schools, team BA’s for the other four drop as follows: FH- .323 to .261, Gran- .283 to .223, MV- .269 to .204, SRV- .333 to .273 .

As far as Pitching, baserunning, defense, etc. it was all over the place by many schools. Most entries and best in league by DLS and Livermore (tough season but fine job by the pencil guy.)

DFAL-?! Campo- no stats, DoVal- partial, Alc- partial, Dublin- 59 ROE/FCs!- must be a lot of gophers from the creek, Alh- no stats, LL- no stats, Mira- no stats.

D2 is tough for sure.

Question: Will Dublin or Las Lomas be elligible to make the playoffs? Even though their strength of sched is very good, I don’t know if they qualify.
Also, will Casa stay that high after the loss to Petaluma last night?
Only problem with Northgate is that they haven’t play a good schedule. They will be tested in the playoff, as will every team.

Congrats to the Spartans on winning the EBAL by defeating Cal. Nice start to Coach Jeans tenure. Their pitching is awefully young too.

Yup, the MVAL does not use head to head to settle a tiebreaker. Seems odd, but that’s how they do it. So assuming both teams win, there will be a one-game playoff at 11 a.m. at American. The teams would co-champions, with the game to determine the automatic berth.

The other possibility, although remote, is that Logan and Newark lose today and Washington wins. That would create a three-way tie for first. In that case, they would run through the tie-breaker scenarios. The first one is record against the other teams involved in the tie, and Logan would win that with its 3-1 record against Newark and Washington. (Newark is 2-2, Washington is 1-3).
