I know some of the families from the Concord girls Volleyball. They weren’t expecting to make it into the playoffs, but they did. The family I know were in shock they were able to play (they didn’t care whether they got in). This shows you how NCS could twist the rules around, and allow a lower seed team to play. So BLAME NCS. They have screwed the brackets for DII Football. Everyone needs to protest against NCS, not the High School Team. They are only going by the decision that NCS puts out!!!!! We need a petition to replace NCS workers!

I watched the Piedmont win over Middletown. The first two games were close but the Pehanick sisters put up a big wall shutting down the Middletown hitters in game three. Good luck Lady Highlanders against SPSV.

I saw Liberty last night. I was surprised to begin with that Berkeley was given the No. 9 seed when I predicted them at No. 6. They were certainly the better team last night.
I can see Carondelet upsetting Carrillo, but won’t go as far as predicting it.

Thanks for the clarification Don Guy. Luckily, it didn’t make any difference this time around, as Northgate rolled anyway and all the higher seeds held serve.

There is a relatively recent bylaw that says that brackets can’t be shuffled after a certain point. I think it stems from an incident in basketball a few years ago where the MCAL had four seeded teams, with three in the same half of the bracket, and one unseeded team, which was initially put into the half with the 3 teams, until somebody pointed out this violated the bylaws, so teams had to be shuffled, and opponents changed 24 hours before the games were to be played.

Any thoughts on last night’s action? Looks like Liberty in D1 and Valley Christian in D5 were the only higher seeds to fall to lower seeded teams. Any predictions on Saturday night upsets?

Newbie, that was for their football team. The #3 seeded Benicia volleyball team hosts #6 Rocklin tonight in round 2 Division 2 action. Here is the link to that site: http://cifsjs.org/sports/fall/volleyballgirls/vbgirlsbracketd2_12.pdf

Thats a little harsh Jake dont you think(funny though)? They scheduled the game within the rules of NCS. Although I think its weak to allow that to happen. They played by the book and got in.
