These teams should be included on the Socal, or Norcal top ten boards, yet you all still say Central Cal when saying anything about these teams. If there is no true Central Cal teams, and only Norcal, and Socal teams, then you need to start referring to them as such. Because, and Cencal your not the only one but, there seems to be alot of people referring to all these teams as Central Cal. Why don't you guys come up with a true Central Cal list? We don't get to see alot of these teams play here in Norcal. They play in a tournament like the Hearts of fire tourney, against some teams, that nobody has ever heard of , and you want them to be in the top ten? I understand there was a handful of good teams. But, to be included on a list with teams that see each other all the time , compared to once a summer, when maybe you come up to Stockton. These teams won't be on my list. Your teams need to come up to NORCAL, and play in some of our better tournamments, like Stockton at the end of May. If you have a great tourney, then you will be included. Because, you will be playing the best in Norcal. Make sure you play up though, because that's what most of the Norcal teams do at these tournaments.
The Guru
To be a true "Guru", you will need to include teams North of Stockton (and not just the Breeze). I am yet to see any Sacramento teams but the Breeze on any top 10 list.
The Roseville Heat, for example, won Survivor #1 in Stockton (Grapettes tourney) and held a #1 seed at Survivor #2 (Grapettes tourney) before it was rained out. I have not seen them play, but will very soon. It seems hard to leave them out of the mix, as from what I hear, had a very strong fall.
I think I saw a SJ team or two on the list that a B team we know took them behind the woodshed a time or two last fall. The RR Gold 12u team I think was on the list and I see them signed up for a B tourney coming up.
It is so early, none of these power rankings mean much, I know. But a Guru should have a broader scope IMO.
