2. St. Mary’s (5-2) – Lost a close game to large school Encinal on the road .

3. Salesian (6-1) – Should cruise to the Bay League title.

4. Middletown (6-1) – Favorite to win the NCL I North.

What a Weekend

Many are saying the Middletown-Fort Bragg game was one of the best this year. The St. Mary's-Encinal game was another one that many enjoyed. Overall, Middletown has gone over the hump and will definitely crack the top four. St. Mary's, though they lost by a touchdown to Encinal, has proven they are among the elite in Div. IV. Ferndale continues to dominate other teams and Salesian is heading towards another Bay League title. St. Patrick-St. Vincent and Fort Bragg are still strong teams destined for the playoffs. If Cloverdale can beat St. Vincent the last week of the regular season, they will win the NCL I South title and lock up an automatic berth in the playoffs. Berean Christian, McKinleyville, and Justin Siena will fight for the last at-large spot.

What are your thoughts on the teams who are on the bubble to make the playoffs?

Top Teams

Although Salesian topped St. Patrick-St. Vincent earlier in the year, I think things have come full circle. I believe that the top five ranked teams are actually pretty equal. It looks like it will be a great season and a very competitive post season.

2. Fort Bragg (5-0) – Dominated St. Helena 42-7.

3. St. Mary’s (4-1) – INT return for TD on the last play of the game to beat St. Patrick-St. Vincent 26-20.

4. Salesian (4-1) – Pulled away in the 4^th Quarter to beat Berean Christian 35-25.

5. St. Patrick-St. Vincent (3-2) – Tough loss to St. Mary’s.

6. Middletown (4-1) – Defeated Clear Lake 28-14.

7. Cloverdale (4-1) – Blew out Lower Lake 67-14.

8. Berean Christian (4-2) – Played Salesian tough.

Unbelievable Game

St. Mary's 26, St. Patrick-St. Vincent 20

With no time left on the clock and the score tied at 20, the St. Patrick-St. Vincent Quarterback Brandon Brown dropped back and threw a pass that was intercepted by defensive lineman Marcus Edwards. Edwards returned the ball to about the 10 yard line where he was being tackled. He quickly tossed the ball to another St. Mary's player who scored the winning touchdown. Game over.

Check it out here.

Saturday Games

There are six games today (the Ferndale-South Fork game is this evening, the rest are in the afternoon). I'll post scores as soon as I get them. If you come home from a game and your score isn't posted, post it as a comment and I'll get it on the main board.

Last night, Clear Lake played Middletown pretty tough; Berean Christian got to within 2 points of Salesian in the 3rd quarter before losing by 10; and Fort Bragg continued to roll over whomever was lined up on the other side of the ball. It was a great night and today won't be any different. There are several match-ups in today's games to keep an eye on.
