On to the Next Round

The opening round of the NCS Division IV playoffs is over and we have to bid farewell to five teams and congratulate them for a good season. Though Berean Christian, Valley Christian, St. Mary's, Kelseyville and St. Helena have played their last game this year, they should be proud that they made it to the post season.

The top 8 seeds are left and from here on out, I think the championship is within the grasp of each one.


I can't wait for round two. I will post a more in depth preview of each game on Thursday.

Thanks to all of you who have posted scores to keep the rest of us informed. I hope everyone has a terrific Thanksgiving!

2010 Seedings

Well, the playoffs are set. All that has to happen is for the games to be played and a champion crowned. I am very excited and looking at the teams in the post season, there are several that I think can challenge for the title. Sure, some teams will need a lucky bounce of the ball or two, but that always seems to happen in high school football.

Good luck to all the teams and congrats on a great season.


I will post a more in-depth preview for each game this weekend on Thursday. I will also post live updates for the games as available.
