When do the playoff brackets come out?

Alhambra and Concord has no one in their league, when will they stop getting rated so high?

Say Gianni….As long as Concord and Alhambra keep winning I doubt that both teams will drop….But the playoff’s will tell the story…Will both teams be able to stand up against outside competition…

I looked at Alhambra’s schedule and agree that they are in a weak league. However, the non league schedule makes up for it. Quality wins against Petaluma, Vacaville, Whitney and Granada and 4 losses against good teams that were all close games. 1 run loss to Mitty leads me to believe they are a good team.
I think the ranking is justified but agree with George. We will see come NCS time.

Concord wins at Alameda 8-5 to finish the regular season. Great game gals! Does Alameda play Pinole Valley for ACCAL Title?

Cal has lost 5 in a row now, there is another team in the EBAL that is looking pretty strong!
May 19th, 2012 at 12:09 pm
Lost 5 in a row but took the #1 team in the nation to the limit twice. That is one team AV hopes they don’t have to see in the playoffs.
May 19th, 2012 at 7:07 pm
There is still another team out there Prep Fan.
May 19th, 2012 at 8:45 pm

Bottom line is you have to be ready to play no matter what your rank was the whole year. If you don’t you might get an early summer. I only have one beef [415] how can you put petaluma so high when arroyo beat them in them in the standley final? anyways there is alot of good teams it should be a real good fight till the end. GO DONS
May 19th, 2012 at 11:08 pm
Wow!!!
D1) Amador, Logan, Heritage, Monte Vista, Cal, Freedom, Castro Valley
D2)Newark, Alhambra, Pateluma, Concord, Rancho, Arroyo, Alameda

(Hv) I love the Dons but they didnt close the deal vs CV to make it easy for NCS commitee.
D2 is STACKED with Newark coming down from D1 and Alhambra & Petaluma Petition up from D3. The lower seeds will be much better than usual with some really good teams being left out all together. The Seeds are fun for Sunday but throw all the numbers out when the girls hit the field next week!
