gonzales soccer

Perhaps soccer coaches in the Central Coast Section should reconsider how they seed teams for the playoffs.
Because the format isn't working.
For the second straight season, once beaten Gonzales was seeded a disappointing 14th out of 17 teams in Division II.
Remember, the Spartans are the defending CCS Division II champions.
Not that Gonzales needed an incentive to repeat the feat, but a lack of respect from coaches outside the area didn't hurt.
The Spartans went out and handed No. 2 Santa Cruz a 1-0 defeat. Dating back to last years magicial ride through the postseason, that's five straight wins.
Of course, it's just one win this year. Another higher seed awaits Saturday. But as long as goalkeeper Domingo Uribe is between the pipes, opponents will have trouble scoring against Gonzales.
I get that the Mission Trail Athletic League is not regarded as a power in the CCS. I understand that Gonzales didn't play any high profile teams in non-league.
But you would think a 13-1-2 would warrant a better seed than 14.
