Rob Donoho: Stacked deck in Section Div. 6 playoffs
Are you ready for some football? Not competitive football in the Sac-Joaquin Section. Just ask Vacaville Christian after this week’s playoff contest with Capital Christian or Rio Vista, the sacrificial lamb put against Modesto Christian.
The Section’s current playoff format is loaded with inconsistencies and exceptions. Moving Capital Christian and Modesto Christian, two schools that were in the Division 4 playoffs last year, to Division 6 based on enrollment size alone is faulty logic. Private schools can offer scholarships, nullifying the disadvantages of smaller enrollment size. The section has made a mockery of the Division 6 playoff bracket.
