NorCal Girls’ Golf
Championships
St. Francis of Mountain View won the team title at Monday’s
NCGA/CIF Girls’ NorCal Golf Championships, played at Spring Creek Golf Club.
St. Francis of Sacramento finished eighth overall with a score of 455, 22
strokes behind the Mountain View school.
In the individual scoring, Pleasant Grove’s Sarah Debnekoff
shot a ten-over-par 83, ten strokes behind the medalist, Michelle Xie of Palo
Alto. Debnekoff finished tied for 15th place.
Three shots behind her was Emily Laskin of St. Francis of
Sacramento. The Elk Grove resident fired a 13-over-par 86 to end up in 25th
place.
The top three teams and nine individual competitors who are
not members of any of the top three teams will advance to the CIF State Golf
Championships at Quail Lodge Golf Club in Carmel on Nov. 20.
Football Playoff
Brackets To Be Announced Saturday
The
football season ends Saturday afternoon. The football seeding committee meets
that day and the final posting of the playoff brackets will be late Saturday
afternoon. Like last year, the Sac-Joaquin Section will host a live online
football playoff bracket show that will announce the match-ups a few moments
before they are posted. The show will be live-streamed on the Section website,
cifsjs.org, and will air somewhere around 4:30 pm.
In Divisions I-IV, there are 53 football teams with six or
more wins currently. Section spokesman Will DeBoard says there are currently only
two teams which don’t have six wins but have clinched playoff berths.
There are 20 teams at five wins right now. In Divisions I-IV,
there are 64 playoff berths.
“Doing the math, that means there is a fairly decent chance
a 6-4 team will not make the playoffs this year,” DeBoard wrote in a new
release Monday. “This would be the first time in this playoff system’s history
(it started in 2009) a 6-4 team wouldn’t make the playoffs in Divisions I-IV.”
If the playoffs would begin today, it is likely Folsom would
have the top seed in Division I and probably would open up against either Napa
or Monterey Trail. The Bulldogs overwhelmed the Mustangs, 49-21, on Sept. 27.
Franklin, Pleasant Grove, Oak Ridge and Jesuit would all be
a part of the prospective Division I bracket. It could be that the Wildcats and
Eagles would play each other in the first round on Nov. 15.
In Division II, Elk Grove would be a high seed along with
Yuba City, Rio Linda and Del Oro. The Herd’s opening round opponent could be a
team such as Beyer, Downey or Gregori.
The playoff system is based on total wins and on the size of
the school’s enrollment.
Soccer Playoffs Start Tuesday
Franklin’s boys’ soccer team earned a 15-seed and will open the
Section Division I playoffs with a game at Pitman, the number two seed.
Pleasant Grove, a 14-seed, plays at No.3 Granite Bay.
Defending champion Jesuit drew the No. 1 seed and opens against Nevada Union.
In Division II, Cosumnes Oaks, the No. 2 seed, will take on Del
Campo Tuesday. Florin faces Patterson in a Division III playoff game.
Quarterfinal games will be played Thursday. Semi-finals will be
next Wednesday, Nov. 13.
