Prep spotlight: St. Ignatius staking its claim among Bay Area basketball’s elite

ST. IGNATIUS: WILDCATS PROVING TO BE AMONG BAY AREA’S ELITE

Over the last two seasons, Archbishop Riordan and Salesian have separated themselves as the Bay Area’s basketball elite. 

Both programs have represented Northern California in the State Open Division championship game – Salesian in 2024 and Riordan last season. 

But this year, St. Ignatius has inserted itself into the conversation. 

The Wildcats are off to a 5-0 start that includes dominant wins over Amador Valley, San Ramon Valley and Acalanes.
