: : : : : : : : 2AA coaches please explain how a team can do the following and not be ranked:

: : : : : : : : Beat Chaminade
: : : : : : : : Beat Brentwood

: : : : : : : : Lose to Westlake by 2
: : : : : : : : Lose to Alemany by 2
: : : : : : : : Lose to Santa Monica by 6 (The #3 raNKED TEAM IN THE DIVISION. And we were winning the whole game til the 4th)

: : : : : : : : Have a schedule strength stronger than 95 % of the division

: : : : : : : : and teams like Downey, Saugus, Vista Murrieta, can be ranked.

: : : : : : : : Please get a clue. If Pacifica isnt in your top 10 then you never ever have the right to vote. Period

: : : : : : : Oh so you are talking about rankings that are outdated and haven't been updated since the middle of December. Calm down buttercup! Maybe when the coaches vote once school is back from Winter Break you can see Oxnard Pacifica is ranked. By the way, I hate to break it to you but Chaminade and Brentwood aren't like the teams of the past. Beating them sure looks great but both teams haven't done much in years. Chaminade is a long time removed from the days of Higgins and Odom so that win will not carry much weight.

: : : : : : : See what you have to understand about these coaches is only a handful knows what is truly going on in this division. 75% of the coaches right now are confused if you are talking about Oxnard Pacifica, Garden Grove Pacifica or even Pacifica Christian schools. Also these coaches vote for teams and schools they recognize more than anything else so if your team isn't known, sorry no votes.

: : : : : : : Luckily for Oxnard Pacifica, you have played some teams within the division and other teams that have connections to CIF therefore, Oxnard Pacifica should be ranked but still not where you think...probably in the top 12 but definitely nowhere near the top 5 or higher.

: : : : : : LMAO...pump the breaks, your team had a good showing this week but that has zero influence on a poll from 3 weeks ago.

: : : : : There are no breaks to be pumped. 3 weeks ago a two point loss to ranked Alemany and ranked Westlake in D1 gives you a top 10 ranking in 2AA. I am not saying they are as good as the top 3 teams. I think we can beat Santa Monica if we played again but we should be somewhere bewtween 4 and 10. Thats realistic and honest.

: : : : Nope because as of 3 weeks ago you had only beaten bad schools and as much as we all like to say we almost beat so and so..a loss is still a loss and all the ranked teams were winning games. That's just the reality of how the early season polls are. That's also why they mean absolutely nothing and once the next one comes up you can't even view the old one and no one will give 2 shits about a December poll after league is over and the real brackets come out.

: : : just like everything else. it will all work itself out. they are a top 5 team and will show it as the season unfolds.

: : Someone was big mad when they saw the polls yesterday....

: There are many coaches polls that are very curious. Teams who have lost to teams in the division still ranked higher than them, etc. At least if you qualify for the playoffs it can be taken care of on the court. It will hurt a higher ranked team here or there when they have an earlier matchup against a team who was overlooked but as noted it can still be taken care of on the court. I use to to be surprised by the lack of knowledge of some of the coaches on teams in their own division but not any more. As one of the writers above explained a big portion of them have no clue what teams you are even referring to in your division.


To me it seems like they reward team that duck competition and in Ventura county that’s a way of life Oxnard refused to play against westlake duck them in the St Bonnie’s tournament and th y was suppose to play in westlake’s tournament in the beginning of the season and pulled out that’s why the I.E. gets all that love on the girls end the big games usually happen out there if our top 5 teams are Oxnard westlake Ventura Camarillo and Pacifica there should have been way more head to head match ups with those teams but it wasn’t just like always ….. I remember asking people a few years ago why hasn’t Oxnard and Oak park never played each other and I’m talking about like 4-5 years straight on the boys side maybe even longer it’s terrible these coaches need to do better
