CA State Championship game Double Wing vs Spread

Dub Wing lost...

But they were so undermanned... and to even be competitive with Oceanside, spoke volumes to the strategy, scheme, coaching staff, and players on Bell...

I was impressed... they had a chance to win... and that's all you can ask.

Bellarmine played well, the fumble before halftime killed them.

But our own, tothehouse's Nevada Union Miners got shafted! It was basically between them and Bellarmine for the D-1 bid and Bellarmine got selected. I would have loved to see Brad's team instead of Bellarmine

Y'all don't have playoffs?

You have a bowl?

Really?

Does Bellarmine run the DW Wing-T or do the run the DW with wedge blocking turning inside runs into a scrum?

SoCal takes a 2-1 lead, but I've been very impressed with the representation from NorCal teams.

I agree We dont have a state playoff. It is certainly a popularity contest. Nevertheless, we were number one in the state and 3rd in the country and blew it on an xtra point.This is all too painful LOL but much props to Serra Catholic for winning it all.

I'm just ticked that the central section is considered with the south. We will never have a bowl qualifier.

I think CIF was talking about doing something like that, but it was ruled against.

anyone know how the De La Salle/Crenshaw game turned out? I couldn't stay awake long enough to finish watching it!

Thanks for the comments guys. Would have loved a shot to play in that game. Just to see where we would stack up. We ended up 13-1 and a Sac-Joaquin Section title. I'll take that any day.

Double Wing alive. I'm happy to see them have some success.

Popularity contest??? I'm from Oceanside, but actually played at El Camino when it was still a power and head coached by Herb Meyer, who at the time of his retirement in 2003 was the winningest coach in the state. He was also HC at Oceanside before EC opened. There is tremendous football played there and I can argue that it rivals anywhere else in the state. There are over 20 section titles to that town's name and I'm sure it would have a bunch of state titles also had the state championship system been established many years ago. Oceanside hasn't lost in 40 contests. OHS has 2 state championships since they started this bowl system. The system takes merit into account. Unlike other states, unfortunately, we have very few cinderella stories in California. However, if you can build your resume by playing tough opponents year in year out like Oceanside has and actually beating them, you can be in the bowl game, too.

I watched the Bellarmine and DeLaSalle games. In the 1st one, I was surprised that Bellarmine never ran any misdirection (Counter Criss-Cross?) plays. That one always gives us fits if we don't stay disciplined. In the DeLA Salle game it was pretty obvious that Crenshaw was built around their stud running back. When he went down, they had no solution. I don't think DLS "settled down" they just got to face slower running backs.

California has 37 million people while Texas has 24 million people. Pretty big difference. Then you have to take into account the different governing bodies within the CIF. The Southern Section alone has more schools than most states.
