SJS Realignment vote tomorrow

[froylan]

does anyone know where we can find the league breakdown that shows which leagues are in division 1a 1aa
or when it will take effect?

[coachblum]

takes effect this coming year.

I know from the north--the MEL and SFL are in one and the 2 deltas are in the other.

If no one else posts, i will tomorrow from school.

From what I have heard, the separation will be like this: D1A consists of CCC, DVC, DRL, & SJAA and D1AA has MEL, MMC, SFL, & TCAL.

They took 2 leagues from the North and paired them with 2 leagues from the South.

Therefore, Division 1 A would have the following schools:

DELTA VALLEY CONFERENCE (DVC)
Davis Sr.
Elk Grove
Franklin (EG)
Grant
Laguna Creek
Monterey Trail

DELTA RIVER LEAGUE (DRL)
Folsom
Jesuit (boys only)
Oak Ridge
Pleasant Grove
Ponderosa
Sheldon

CENTRAL CALIFORNIA CONF. (CCC)
Atwater
Buhach Colony
Golden Valley
Merced
Pitman
Turlock

SAN JOAQUIN ATHLETIC ASSOC (SJAA)
Bear Creek
Chavez
Franklin (S)
Lincoln (S)
Lodi
Tracy

Then the Division 1 AA would have

MONTICELLO EMPIRE LEAGUE (MEL)
Armijo
Rodriguez
Napa
Vacaville
Vintage
Wood

TRI-CITY ATHLETIC LEAGUE (TCAL)
Edison
McNair
St. Mary's
Stagg
Tokay
West

MODESTO METRO CONFERENCE (MMC)
Beyer
Grace Davis
Downey
Enochs
Gregori
Johansen
Modesto

SIERRA FOOTHILL LEAGUE (SFL)
Del Oro
Granite Bay
Nevada Union
Rocklin
Roseville
Woodcreek

Both tournaments will be two day, 16 man brackets - top 8 place winners will advance to Masters.

I think its important to note too that Rodriguez will be joining the MEL and thus Division 1. They have won Division 3 two years in a row.

I think Bill is right - realignemnt was based on the SFL having won some ridiculous number of section titles as a league- they may be the best athletic league outside of the TRAC in Northern California. Their league won both Division 1 and Division 3 football section this year - so there was pressure on the section to make this change.

[coachblum]

the sfl won 15 section titles last year, 11 the previous 2 years and i believe they have have won 7 so far this year.

they are very good at just about all sports.
