Posts: 399 05/05/09 12:30:38	Tags : None As expected, CCS voted to expand the football play-offs to five divisions and 40 teams. Here is what the Californian said today: "For the first time in 17 years the Central Coast Section will increase the number of teams and divisions for high school football playoffs. The CCS Board of Managers voted last week to up the number of playoffs teams from 32 to 40 and divisions from four to five. The number of teams in each division remains unchanged at eight. The Open Division remains the same teams either choose to compete in what is regarded as the toughest division in the section, or are placed there by a point system based on strength of schedule. Teams will be placed in the other four divisions by enrollment. "A lot of coaches were concerned about the smaller schools and the first-round scores," CCS commissioner Nancy Lazenby-Blaser said. "They were concerned for the safety of the players, and wanted to come up with a way to make it safer." According to the CCS website, had the five division scheme been in place in 2008, this is what the play-offs would have looked like. Expanding the CCS football playoffs to 5 divisions instead of 4. BOLD CAPS - TEAMS THAT WERE NOT IN PLAYOFFS IN 2008 Open Oak Grove Gilroy Valley Christian Bellarmine North Salinas Serra Milpitas Palma Division I EVERGREEN VALLEY Salinas Monta Vista Santa Teresa Homestead Andrew Hill Woodside Menlo Atherton Division II Wilcox Leland Leigh Los Gatos Palo Alto Aragon Pioneer Monterey Division III BRANHAM ST. IGNATIUS WILLOW GLEN TERRA NOVA Seaside Sacred Heart Catholic KING CITY GREENFIELD Division IV Scotts Valley Carmel King's Academy Sacred Heart Prep Menlo School Pacific Grove St. Francis CCC Greenfield probably would have gone down to Division IV if Saratoga had had been the next team in. And in somewhat related news, CCS decided to table the decision as to whether Gilroy will move to the MBL or stay in the TCAL starting in the Fall of 2010.

Mean while GR will be the swing team with a student body that sits on the cusp. Either way the more teams, is a bounus for schools with low numbers. Just the thought of playing in playoffs will do wonders for the fringe teams. It will be a great thing if MTAL gets 4 in next year no matter what. Last Edited By: gr dad 86 05/05/09 19:46:32.

Posts: 115 05/06/09 13:16:11	so is the super league proposal out of the running now? if it is off the table i think the best way to handle things would be to place gilroy and christopher in the mbl. both schools will probably end up with similar enrollments to monterey, seaside, and north county, so the mbl makes sense for both.

Posts: 400 05/06/09 14:59:44	According to the Californian, it was the TCAL using Palma as their spokeperson that asked CCS to reconsider the move of Gilroy to the MBL. Maybe the TCAL figures that after Christopher High comes online and the talent in that area is diluted between the two schools that it will give the TCAL another team to beat up on. The TCAL needs to be careful about what they wish for. Had Gilroy been a doormat team the past couple of years instead of being as good as they have been, the TCAL would be real close to becoming a B league.

Posts: 116 05/06/09 16:00:26	i can see the logic behind that. gilroys enrollment is going to probably going to drop by almost half. couple this with their coach leaving and a big drop off is likely coming for gilroy.

Posts: 1249 05/06/09 18:33:17	Removing a team from the TCAL drops them down to a 6 member league (the CCS minimum?), requiring all members to find 5 non-league football games, which is extremely problematic. It has nothing to do with wanting to beat up on weaker teams. No local teams are jumping to take Gilroy's place in the league; what teams have the ability to be competitive year in and year out in one of the top leagues in the CCS? An equity league would allow schools to come and go based upon the recent strength of their program. Last Edited By: mbaypreps 05/06/09 18:35:41. Edited 1 time.

Posts: 117 05/06/09 19:02:41	i have always felt an equity league would be the best option. top league (based off team performance over the last 2 years) Palma Gilroy North Salinas Monterey Seaside Alisal Salinas, Hollister, or North County bottom league salinas/hollister/north county (2 of them) alvarez north county MVC Watsonville Pajaro bam, problem solved.
