The Golden West League’s appeal to have the Pacific Coast League removed from the Southern Division for football playoffs was approved by an appeals panel today at the CIF-Southern Section office.

CIF-SS spokesman Thom Simmons said CIF-SS assistant commissioner Glen Martinez, in charge of the section’s management of football, now has to produce playoff groupings for football different from the ones he had created.

In the 2011 Southern Division playoffs, the two finalists were PCL teams, Beckman and Corona del Mar. In 2010, three of the four semifinalists were PCL teams.

Where does the PCL go for football, now? The Southwest Division, for which it looked like the Sunset League was headed? And does this mean the Sunset stays in the Pac-5 Division so the PCL can go to the Southwest? Does the Southern Division get a replacement for the PCL, or will the Southern Division be a four-league (Garden Grove, Golden West, Orange and Orange Coast) division?

Southwest Division league representatives are to meet at Brea Olinda HS on Thursday to discuss their next move.

It looks like nothing will be decided until the April 26 CIF-SS Council meeting.
