Here is a look at the projected playoff scenarios heading into Week 10 in the Stanislaus District. The Top 12 teams, according calpreps.com, qualify.

This is a Stanislaus District league-by-league look and does not denote which division the teams will be in. Teams have been placed into divisions by size of school but if a school wins a league championship, they will be placed into that league’s division. However, a team may not drop a division.

Example: If Modesto Christian (D6) wins the Trans-Valley League, they will be placed into Div. 5. Also, if Modesto Christian were to win the TVL, the school with the lowest enrollment that makes the playoffs in Div. 5 would drop to Div. 6.
