SRV: PLAYOFF REMATCHOne year after San Ramon Valley beat Campolindo in the Division II championship game, the teams will meet again in the opening round of the Open/Division I playoffs on Friday at SRV. Both were promoted as a result of the competitive-equity formula that the North Coast Section uses.

SRV had a better computer rating and took De La Salle to overtime before losing to the Spartans last month. SRV was seeded second. Campo entered last weekend on the playoff bubble but secured an at-large spot after rallying in the fourth quarter to stun Acalanes 25-24 on Friday, an outcome that gave the Cougars a share of their league title. Campo coach Kevin Macy, who has long made known his displeasure with competitive equity, unders...
