It looks like St Mary’s Berkeley has jumped ahead of BOD in national ranking after beating Long Beach Poly. They could have a better shot at national #1 and they have a date at BOD January 12. Think that could get moved to a larger venue?

Long way to go and there are going to be losses in the top 5. There are going to be some upsets along the way.

I Googled Sacred Heart Cathedral #1 and this article popped up:

It would be nice if adults had their facts correct first before criticizing a high schooler and her family’s decision. The Cotilion is more than a “social event”, it’s also a fundraiser for disadvantaged youth.

Also, although no other starters participated in the Cotilion there was two additional BOD teammates who also did. This was a case of an unfortunate date conflict.

St. Mary’s of Stockton isn’t Bay Area, but close. BOD had a chance to be in that conversation. Got to be a real downer for all the teammates that would have done anything for a national championship or undefeated season. It is hard to imagine this happening on a boys team in just about any sport, except maybe volleyball, but its also hard to imagine it happening at BOD girls hoops.

You’ve chosen to be an entertainer whether you realize it or not.
What about her teammates that have gone on this journey with her for 4 years. None of them bailed. I hope this doesn’t create a rif with them. How can you trust that she has your back.
Not sure how this will play out.
Maybe they”ll let controversy bond them together and catch #! Mater dai in the open state finals.

Let her have fun and make choices. You are only in high school once. I am glad she did something fun!
