WHY important?
Valley Christian was expected to have a strong season but it was modest at best.
WCAL is in flux. SHCP & Mitty make up for Bellarmine's transition & a less imposing St. Francis. The Bells event and
Best of the West is what So-Cal sees as our front porch. Over the past 4 or 5 years, DeAnza division of CCS public schools
have best represented Northern Calif. at B.o.W. The Central Section is currently more prominent.
Hence late Saturday it seemed Clovis East was the hope to avoid a second Bells sweep by prideful Mater Dei. Near the same time Clovis West was on a 3. match streak, downing a hot De La Salle. VC put a foot in the ground to beat West narrowly.
Not what would be expected but VC (8AM game?} rips C. East! Easy NOW? Not so.
Next was 18--0 Santa Cruz. A team that topped VC a week before. NOT this time VC hands Cards their 1st Loss.
Wonder what Mater Dei was thinking? Didnt matter. Valley Christian WON in a tight 3 sets!
=====================================
In NORCAL .....Burlingame ran thru three opponents before they were crushed by NORTHGATE
Several new programs got a closeup look at serious teams, Burlingame is yet another able team from the blooming Peninsula League. With 15 plus WINS they are only 4th in PAL
============================
i
Down at CHATSWORTH INVITE.....BURROUGHS of Burbank defeated the host team to take the Championship.
=============================
At the Brophy Prep Invite in PHOENIX, #1 Nationally, LOYOLA further entrenched their legend by sweeping this high powered event..
