Flag football’s initial season has been a numerical and seeming artistic success, with 217 games played through eight weeks, and about 70 scheduled in the remaining two weeks of the regular season.
The 46 San Diego Section girls teams will split into two Divisions for the playoffs, based on school enrollment. The D-I upper half ranges from 2,860 students at Calexico and Eastlake (2,744), to Point Loma (1,715). Division II ranges from Montgomery (1,691) and Morse (1,685), down to Chula Vista Learning Community Center (393), and Calexico Vincent Memorial (245).
Playoffs begin Nov 7 at the site of each higher seed, with 12 teams in each division, seeded as determined by the CIF San Diego Section selection committee, with championship games Nov 16 at Escondido High.
With two weeks left, and up to four more games each, the top D-I contenders are Bonita Vista (11-1), with a MaxPreps state No. 6 ranking and outscoring opponents, 332-87; undefeated Torrey Pines (10-0, No. 13), Calexico (12-2), and Grossmont (9-2).
Classical (13-2, MaxPreps‘ state No. 16), Cathedral (8-1), and Morse (8-2) are among D-II leaders, plus Our Lady of Peace, the only undefeated team at 9-0. Classical has topped several D-I teams, including Calexico and Eastlake, and has outscored opponents, 457-80.
