Salinas getting so much love in the Monterey County Herald rankings? Neither one has even come close to competing against Salinas, San Benito, and Notre Dame. I thought N. Salinas would be way better, but am I not seeing something in those two teams that others are? San Benito almost beat Harbor in the Menlo invitational on Saturday. Then Harbor loses to Harker and Menlo. Harbor looked really impressive when I saw them play a couple of times early in the season. Are teams just figuring out how to beat them? Is Santa Catalina that good, or is the MTAL really that bad this year? Has the MBL dropped off the face of the earth? I haven't heard anything about them.

Regarding Harbor, I guess you could say 3 teams (Pres, Harker and Menlo) have figured it out. Gee, those sound like 3 teams ranked in the top 15 of CCS regardless of Division. Harbor had already beaten Menlo in the championship of the Harbor Tournament. Harbor has trouble with those 8a.m. matches (Menlo 2nd time). As far as San Benito almost beating them, I think it was probably a case of taking them lightly (killed them early in the year) and you can see what happened after the first set 24-26, 25-15, 15-6. San Benito lost all 4 of their matches in the Menlo Tournament. Hardly in the same class as the teams attending that tournament. Yes, MTAL is that weak, like very. Yes, MBL off the face of the earth.

They have been up & down most of the season. The best was pushing themselves to play well against Salinas. But over rated, where? Maybe I don't read enough newspapers. With North Salinas, I think a lot was expected from them with the potential they showed last year. Hopefully maturity will help them get through this season & come back even stronger next year. The Ashens have a very talented daughter but aren't they losing a few key players with this graduating class? Also, they had a great win/loss record going into league play. Was there an injury somewhere? I think it was just that with a lot of the big players graduating, TCAL was up for grabs. Not sure everyone was in agreement as to who would step up this year. Salinas has proven themselves very nicely. Just watch out for their fans.
