On Thursday (Oct. 25), Diamond Ranch High was forced to forfeit
all seven of its games (five victories) this season, including a 6-0 triumph over
the Patriots in Week.3. The Panthers entered the week ranked No. 2 in the football
rankings covering the circulation area of the San Gabriel Valley Tribune (article
HERE),
and No. 5 in the CIF-Southern Section's Southwest Division.
Diamond
Ranch officials self-reported a possible violation on an unidentified transfer
student on Wednesday, with the swift acting Southern Section office announcing
the decision the next day. The losses left the Panthers at 0-7 (0-2 in the Miramonte
League).
Meanwhile, Christian now owns a perfect 7-0 overall record
(1-0 in the Coastal League). The Pats are tied for first place with The Bishop's
School, but since the schools were slated to meet Friday (Oct. 26) before conditions
cause by wildfires cancelled all San Diego Section ballgames.
Should
both schools finish unbeaten in league play, and with the CIF-SDS not allowing
any makeup of cancelled contests, a vote from league officials may be needed to
determine which school receives the top-seed into the playoffs.
A
similar scenario could occur in the Grossmont South League, where the game between
Helix and Mount Miguel were wiped out, leaving the possibility of co-champions
among schools which did not play each other.
The schedule, released by the CIF this morning, does not
allow room for make-up contests lost this weekend due to poor air quality and
schools which were closed due to the rash of wildfires throughout San Diego County.
The
opening round is set for Fri., Nov. 16, in all divisions, although some exceptions
can be granted for contests on Sat., Nov. 17.
The quarterfinals are set
for Fri., Nov. 23, followed by the semifinals on Fri., Nov. 30. All games in the
first three rounds are slated for 7:30 p.m. kickoffs, which the higher seeded
school (or designated league champion) serving as the home team.
The finals
schedule at Qualcomm is: Div. V, 10 a.m.; Div. V, 1 p.m.; Div. II, 4:30 p.m.;
and Div. I, 8 p.m. The Div. IV final at USD is set for 7:30 p.m.
Cox 4 San
Diego will televise one game were week over the first three rounds. The schedule
for the finals will be announced shortly.
All CIF-San Diego
Section events cancelled this week
Highlights of the press release are shwon to the right:
All
CIF-San Diego Section activities (practices, games, and team and individual tournaments)
are cancelled through Sat., Oct. 27, 2007, due to the continued extreme fire conditions
and unhealthy air quality. This includes Imperial Valley Conference and affects
all games, all levels regardless of where play is scheduled.
There
will be no make-up of this week's activities due to State CIF playoffs, facility
use, and time contraints for fall playoffs.
Unless otherwise noted,
activities will begin as scheduled on Mon., Oct. 29.
Thank you for
your cooperation during this trying time.
