A quick nod to the growing group of single-school HS teams helps the Northern California season heat up, but there's more going on, too.
Coming off a bit of a jamboree of games at Jesuit Sacramento, several of the school teams are pitted against each other looking toward an early-season single-school cup before the rest of the season is capped off.
The event at Jesuit was a big success. De La Salle and Jesuit brought over 70 players while Bishop O'Dowd and newer team St Francis showed solid depth, too.
Every team got two games shortened games with good referees and the Jesuit parents fed all the players.
"It was a good day for many of the newer players to get some valuable minutes and for the coaches to get film," said Jesuit Head Coach Andrew Acosta. "I am sure if we meet DLS later this season, both teams will be better for the experience."
This week we see last year's top dawg De La Salle face off against St. Francis and there's a lot of talk about how St. Francis could emerge as a team to be reckoned with as time goes on. Bishop O'Dowd takes on Junipero Serra HS.
Jesuit will be taking a trip South to face San Juan Hills and Belmont Shore.
