There were a few surprises this weekend. I didn't expect Justin Siena to lose to winless San Marin (12-7), but San Marin had lost to larger schools. The game itself was very close with Justin Siena on the San Marin one yard line with time for one play. They attempted to pass, but the ball was batted down.
I thought Dougherty Valley would beat Division III Dublin, but they lost 32-21. Dougherty Valley is made up of mostly Sophomores and Juniors, but Dublin had yet to win a game
I was really surprised by Upper Lake's defeat of Kelseyville (30-18). They are definitely a team I have considered for the rankings, but they also lost badly to Fort Bragg (42-7) and played Lower Lake a little tighter (28-14) than Cloverdale did (30-0).
I was slightly surprised that the Middletown - Clear Lake game wasn't closer (34-0). and I was slightly surprised that the St. Vincent - Willits game wasn't more of a blowout for St. Vincent (14-2).
Ferndale continues its dominance up north and St. Patrick - St. Vincent continues to win after dropping their first game. Fort Bragg handled St. Helena (35-7) and a blackout. In fact, the blackout occurred right after St. Helena scored its touchdown. The extra point attempt didn't occur until some twenty minutes later -- which may be why some sports outlets have the score as 35-6. But the Napa Valley Register, who covered the game, insists the extra point was made.
Berean Christian beat a Division II school, Northgate 26-21. They are definitely the team to beat in the Bay League. Salesian dropped its second game of the season to Castlemont of Oakland 34-15 and Harker was idle. Harker may contend with Berean Christian for the title. We'll know how good they are next week after their game with Dougherty Valley.
I'll post the rankings Tuesday and will preview the upcoming Division games later in the week.
