Pag Meter Notes on division movement

•  Coming to the central section will be teams from the central coast in the fall of 2018. The schools will be Nipomo, Templeton, Atascadero, Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo-Mission Prep, Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria, Santa Maria-St. Joseph, Santa Maria-Righetti, Santa Maria, Orcutt Academy and Paso Robles. 
• What division will these teams end up?? It might be a tad too early but the Pag Meter guess is;
• Arroyo Grande and Paso Robles in Division 1
  Atascadero and Saint Joseph in Division 2
• Nipomo and Righetti in division 3
• Templeton, Morro Bay, Pioneer Valley, Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo in division 3 or division 4. There are so many teams in the central section already in division 4, they will have to move some teams into division 3
• Mission Prep, Orcutt Academy, 8 man football

If the Pag Meter was on the CIF board

• Some schools underachieve and some schools overachieve 
• *Garces, Memorial and Bakersfield Christian should all be in the same division.  
• *Yes,Clovis East needs to be in division 2. Will CUSD let that happen??? Not a chance!
• *Golden West needs to be in division 3 (No brainer on this one)
• *Liberty Ranchos needs to be in division 5 (Don’t penalize the overachievers any longer) 
• *Shafter needs to be in division 5 (Division 6 would be child abuse for Shafter)
• *Mendota needs to be in division 5 (Don’t penalize the overachievers)
• *Could Sierra Pacific, Strathmore and Lindsay play in division 5?
• *How in the world does Chowchilla go to division 3 and not Selma? 
• Athletically motivated transfers
  • Student athletes looking to transfer to other schools solely for athletic reasons will find it a tad easier beginning in 2017-18.
  • The CIF voted 100-38, approved a revision that removes authority granted to local commissioners, such as the Central Section’s Jim Crichlow, to deny eligibility to students who transfer primarily for what they see as a better athletic opportunity.
  • The revision, approved with the help of the Central Section’s 11 votes, goes into effect July 1, though Cricholow doesn’t expect a major impact in the local section – which includes the central and southern portions of the San Joaquin Valley.
  • It still will be up to the school, and the CIF if you will be eligible. Stay tuned.
