Our Show Goes Big This Week As We Recap Section Finals, Preview NorCal Regionals And Talk Bulldog Football With The Tremain Brothers •
It’s a jam-packed show this week as Chace and Ben revisit an entertaining weekend of section championships and the 24-hour guessing game of who the CIF would advance as NorCal’s Open Division representative. The hosts also preview this weekend’s slate of CIF NorCal regional games — and there’s definitely some good ones.
Among the top games of the weekend is the Division I-AA regional featuring Folsom at De La Salle — a rematch from early October featuring SportStars’ No. 1 and No. 3-ranked teams. Folsom twin brothers, Tyler and Josh Tremain, both join the show to talk about the Bulldogs’ section championship win over Rocklin (which avenged an earlier defeat), and what they’ll need to do if they want to do the same thing to the Spartans.
And in his weekly appearance, Coach Terry Eidson offers up a unique list of Thanksgiving favorites before sharing his thoughts on the CIF committee’s choosing of Serra-San Mateo over De La Salle for the Open Division Bowl Championship. He also talks about his experiences serving on seeding committees.
Finally, there’s plenty of the usual picks and analysis. Also, the hosts debut a new game called “Name That Team.” NorCal’s final week of football before state bowls starts here.
