Realignment

Realignment will happen in 2012. Sources from the NCS have stated that the realignment will be focused on developing a true California state championship. To do this, the NCS will align teams in leagues that are the same size, as much as possible, (doing away with teams such as Justin Siena in the MCAL). The section playoffs will be limited to 8 teams with a playoff between the 6 section winners in the north who will then play the winner of the 4 section winners in the south for each division.

There will be some minor tweaks next year (such as the NCL doing away with north and south divisions), but the real change will happen in 2012 -- and I'm not talking about the end of the world.

Div. IV Section Championship Final Score

Salesian 28, Middletown 21 (OT)


Thanks to all who posted, especially you James.

Congratulations Salesian for winning the crown and congratulations to Middletown for a great season! It sounds like it was a terrific game. I wish I was there to see it.

College Recruiting

The championship game is set and I can't wait for the kickoff. But I'd like to take a moment to mention a couple of players that I have heard through various sources are being moderately recruited by some D-1 schools. El Molino quarterback Mike Pierson is getting some interest from San Jose State and Middletown linebacker/running back Jake Davis has caught the eye of Boise State and UCLA.

Neither player has an offer on the table and there may not be one coming, but I thought I'd pass along my info and ask you to please post any recruiting information you have heard regarding any of the Div. IV players.
