[FOTG]

This EASY L May 25 & 27. 2017

REDWOOD, A FOUR SEED in the NORTH REGIONAL (CAll it STATE)

[MINOR EXCEPTION 3/2010]

14 YEARS AGO & even further back, CHICO & PLEASANT VALLEY HIGH played primarily in the SAC SECTION. Chico's buff Tourney had mostly SAC Sec teams visiting. A few NCS teams but in those days a 2 & half hour drive was too much to ask of moat. programs..

 The 2009 Chico High team was Awesome, with 3 or 4 boys who played for NCVC. So even in club season they had 2+ hr drives (twice a week).
 They made it count in HS season. Wish I had that schedule to post. They surprised NCS with a sweep of the one- time Los Medanos Trny at the JC on the Pittsburg/Antioch line. WHO'S That? was a common remark.
Few Realized they had primarily a Junior roster. That was to be a even better Squad.
There long time Coach & pillar of area VBL had moved to PVHS.
A new coach only had. them focus..  We became acquainted with one of their players, He was involved in contacts and sign up for an early season tourney in San Diego.

I heard this after the fact. Adults thoughti it would be at "Beach Cities" Trny in LaJolla.  But he got them into another one . Turns out to have been "Best of the West".  which surprised some. It's a hotter field but did not yet have the reputation it has today.

In March of 2010 Chico made Gold round & finished 11th of 32 teams. Beating notible names, still today, like Redondo and Crespi.
For several years it had been listed in participants as NCS.
You can pull up the page & see its been corrected to "Northern Section". 
I had called them and they corrected it. Just ask Charley.
FIFTEEN YEARS LATER, a Northern Section (for boys game) is taking Shape.
