This is going to be a crazy off season. Does Deno come back to DM from SJC as the DC? What happens to the players left at SFA? A Corum/Lloyd/Bangura backfield at DM would be very tough to stop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzaga - have to give it them. They showed up when it mattered and that means something. 2. SJC - most talented and best wins 3. DM - Could of been #1 without the GZ Hail Mary. 4. SFA - I really don’t think they have the QB(he’s young) play to hang with DM or SJC. 5. GC - Lost QB1 and fell hard to DM at the end of the season. They’ll be back. My opinion looking at results and my very flawed eye test. 1. SJC 2. SFA 3. DM 4. Gonzaga 5. GC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see any use in ranking on talent after the season. Just based on who I'd take if they were to play right now. There's definitely not a large separation either way and SFA is a complete guess. Gonzaga has a better shot to beat 1 and 2 than DM IMO, but I think DM beats Zaga more times than not. Zaga won state though and deserve their spot. Would you pick em to beat SJC if they played again though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldballcoach Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Would be surprised if Deno came back. He and Bauscia are rumored to strongly dislike each other. But will certainly be interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just my opinion, but I can’t rank teams for potential after the season. GZ won the WCAC championship. SJC didn’t make the final. DM lost on a Hail Mary. It’s tough to rank them, so nothing would really look “ridiculous” to me at this point with that top 4. I know Good Counsel is #5. SFA is a wildcard. Next year should be more of a soap opera with today’s news from DeMatha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo! They will seriously compete for the national championship in ‘19. It will be interesting to see their schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDrop Posted January 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Once upon a time (late ‘90’s) Bruce Rollinson was willing to come to DC to play DeMatha. Bill McGregor was interested. GardenStateBaller, is there a way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been some historic basketball games between Mater Dei and DeMatha over the decades with national championship implications(see article below). I’d like to see a football game at some point. https://www.nytimes.com/1983/12/23/sports/meeting-of-scholastic-giants.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory I thought it was snow rather than freezing rain but I also remember serious traffic jams all over the DC area that night. MD also brought their cheerleaders and several hundred fans. That was early in Gary MacKnight’s reign. When DeLaSalle was well into their 151 game streak Bill was willing to play them. DM was strong then (I still think DeMatha’s‘98 team was the best ever) and the proposal was an after season game where DM would travel to CA to play DLS. It didn’t come off because the state of CA wouldn’t sanction an after season game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just “feelers” on my part-needed a promoter like GSB to take it over. DLS, I believe, was different-there was funding and, I believe a promoter, but the state ended it. DeMatha had OOS games set up then that didn’t happen. Kansas City Rockhurst in 2001 was arranged and a full go. Cancelled by 9/11. When North Hills was on top in the ‘90’s there was to be a game in Three Rivers. I believe there were other complications on this one. Bill was willing to play anyone-he loved games like this. But this was at a time when OOS games were a rarity. DeMatha played Brockton in ‘90 and ‘91 when Brockton was top five in the U.S., (won), Chambersburg, PA who were preseason #1 in PA (won). Another game that should have happened was Mike Smith’s Hampton with Ronald Curry. I met Mike Smith in ‘96, Curry’s jr year. He wanted to play DM but there was no one to put it together then. There is a very real need and calling for GSB. Deep appreciation for his efforts and talent to do this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
