Is it too early to start projecting? Schedules are slowly being rolled out. ---

Wondering if anyone’s willing to throw out early projections or thoughts on how the season might unfold? Always fun to hear what people are seeing or expecting this time of year for Nor Cal. ---

First pass at CIF-NCS for 2025 season. I don’t have any knowledge of the North Bay schools so apologies if some think they are ranked too low. 1. Carondelet 2. Acalanes 3. San Ramon Valley 4. Campolindo 5. Miramonte 6. Monte Vista 7. Las Lomas 8. Archie Williams 9. Redwood ---

Carondelet is probably number 1. I do not see why SRV is ranked higher than Miramonte and Campo. ---

Campo and Mira both lost a significant portion of their starting lines while SRV is keeping the majority intact after a D1 title. Just my opinion, we’ll see how the girls play it out. Should be a fun season. ---

SRV just beat Campo 12:11. You might be right. ---

After watching some of the Acalanes Invitational, here are my revised _ **NCS** _ rankings (I would slot Sacred Heart 2nd and Arroyo Grande somewhere 3rd through 6 and Clovis North in the bottom of the top 10 if this was for all the sections. Soquel would probably go in the top 6 or 7 as well 1. Carondelet - clear #1 Depth and talent at every position. Think the next 4 squads can probably beat each other any given weekend. 2a) San Ramon Valley - young and scrappy. no seniors on the roster 2b) Acalanes - Ella Del Rosario is a game wrecker 2c) Campolindo - Ditto for Lily Halloway 1. Miramonte - should improve throughout the season and their win over Campo in the quarters seemed like Campo threw in the towel early. 2. Las Lomas - Lily Palma can win games by herself 3. Archie Williams (plays against SRV tonight) 4. Monte Vista 5. Redwood ---

So Miramonte beats Campo 8:1 and you place Miramonte lower? I think SRV barley beat Campo 12:11. I do not see the logic. Afaik, AG did not play at Acalanes. If you would slide them somewhere in your rankings, you probably should have also put somewhere say Clovis West and Buchanan- both beat Clovis North by good margins. Also, Davis did play at Acalanes and beat Clovis North (14:10) and Las Lomas, so you probably should have put them somewhere as well. As for NCS, I think that Carondelet is a clear #1, and then you have four teams that are pretty equal (Acalanes, Campo, Miramonte and SRV, alphabetically), with SRV currently slightly ahead due to recent wins over Campo and Acalanes. ---

As I said, this is NCS focused. not CCS or CS. I just included SHP because I saw them play and AG because they are were strong last year and should be this year. I’m still waiting for another version of an alternative version of a top 10 to be published……feel free to post one 😀 ---

Sure. I was just surprised that you tried to put there Clovis North (why?) and AG. As for top 10 ranking. I do not care that much to even think about one, that early in the season. Some teams were not at full strength at the Acalanes tournament, for example. But even if one just concentrates on NCS, I have a question. The logic of putting Miramonte below Campo after Miramonte just beat them 8:1 is not clear 🙂 If one looks at intra-NCS games between better teams so far, one has: Carondelet beat Las Lomas 16:0, beat Acalanes 5:3. Miramonte beat Campolindo 8:1, beat Archie Williams 15:13. SRV beat Acalanes 6:5, beat Campolindo 12:11, beat Monte Vista 16:9. Acalanes beat Archie Williams 12:6, lost to SRV 5:6. Campolindo beat Monte Vista 16:5, lost to SRV 11:12, lost to Miramonte 1:8. It is not super easy to rank those teams, it seems. ---

Any surprises or additional new observations? Some teams look very young and but lots of potential ---

Davis has a lot of upside with its youth. They had 8 different players (including two freshmen) score against Granite Bay earlier this week. Will be interesting to see where the teams below end up. Carondelet, SHP, Arroyo, SRV, Campo, Acalanes, Miramonte, Clovis, Soquel, Leland and Davis. ---
