IT’S THAT TIME.
The PAGMETER is getting a late start on the season. To every coach, please send in your Team’s scoop (names & notes) so we can attach it to your team’s info rankings.
pagmeter@yahoo.com Thank you!

REST IN PEACE WEEK 0
It has taken a long time for the PAGMETER logic to FINALLY kick in.

The reason why we ever had week 0 was because some teams put together a late game and usually vs out of section teams back in the 90’s.

Example back in 2004 when Clovis West scheduled a huge game against De La Salle that we all remember. Clovis West beat De La Salle 30-12. They scheduled the game before the year started, it was the only game scheduled and the only time they could play each other was before the season started on a Saturday night so they called it Week 0.
The media jumped on it and every year since they called the first week, WEEK 0. Stop it.
99.8% of the team will start the season on Aug 22-23.
Week 1 is on Aug 22-23 and since teams have byes, there will be 11 weeks to play 10 game regular season.

Scrimmage week is week 0 for you week 0 lovers!

NO MORE VALLEY CHAMPIONSHIPS….THEY ARE NOW SECTION CHAMPIONSHIPS

THANK YOU SO MUCH because almost everybody is now calling it a Division Section Championship or Central Section Championship (if you are in division 1)
It has taken the PAGMETER years to educate our section.
To the few that haven’t gotten the memo…There is NO MORE VALLEY CHAMPIONSHIPS. They are now SECTION CHAMPIONSHIPS.

WHY?
When the Central Coast teams moved into the Central Section, the Central Section got a lot bigger with plenty more outstanding teams. Last time I checked, Santa Maria is not in the valley. Every time you say valley champions, you are disrespecting teams out of the valley.

So make a note-Division 1AA is for the CENTRAL Section Championship. (Big Boy Division)

DIvision 1-A through D6 is for the Section Championships….

OFFICIALS NEWS

CSOSA (Bob Kayajanian) had Fresno Unified, Selma, Fresno Christian and Tranquility.

Bob Kayajanian closed his CSOSA association and gave everything, including his officials to the CSOA.

CSOA (Joe Kitchen/Derrin Miller) had Clovis Unified, Los Banos, Pacheco, Legrand and Mariposa.

CSOA no longer has Fresno Unified but still has all the Clovis Unified, Fresno Christian, Orange Cove, Tranquility, Los Banos, Pacheco (LB), Mariposa, Hilmar, and Avenal.

SJVOA has everything else from Memorial, Central Unified, Madera Unified, Fresno Unified and all the county school home games. Chowchilla/Dos Palos to Coalinga/Kingsburg, to Sierra and Yosemite. SJVOA wii charge $230 per night (JV & Varsity)

KCOA has Bakersfield, Arvin, Taft to Delano and is in need of more officials. They charge $? per night (JV & Varsity)

Mojave Desert officials Association out of Lancaster) Not sure what they charge because some games don’t have a JV game. They charge $? for JV and $? for varsity

CVOA Tulare officials have Dinuba to Delano including Porterville. Charges $230.00 per night (JV & Varsity combined)

Central Coast (CCOA) Charges $? per night (JV & Varsity)

Reminder, without officials, we have ZERO Friday Night Lights. ZERO!

If you are a road team and playing at Buchanan or Tim Simons field, it has to scare you a little bit when the team you are playing has their own officials association.

**If you would like to be an official, email the PAGMETER (pagmeter@yahoo.com) and we will get you the info that you need. It is a lot of fun to be part of Friday Night Lights! For you former football players, you will have the pregame and postgame emotions again…Email today!

THE 2025 & 2026 NEW BASE DIVISIONS

PAGMETER FOOTBALL FINAL RANKINGS 2025

Photo by @_djcphoto

The new Base division rankings system and it’s kind of confusing.
You can only move up a division if you are ranked in the top 4.
Example, If you are based in Division 3, you can only move up into Division 2 if you are ranked in the top 4 of Division 2. If not, you will stay in Division 3.
The system is better but the problem now will be with teams moving down a division because they are having a down year. It looks like that teams will not be moving down and that’s GREAT news.
