Capital Christian, Ripon Christian hit with sanctions

[John Mellencamp]

A 2 year post season ban for spring club ball. Sac Joaquin section only section pursuing sanctions. Capital played teams from central section and north coast section.

Sac-Joaquin Section sanctions Ripon Christian for club football participation

Ripon Christian is one of four schools in the Sac-Joaquin Section to receive sanctions for their participation in full-contact games during the state’s coronavirus lockdown this past spring.

You wonder if there is more to it. Capital Christian has to be one of the most drama filled schools in norcal. Never a dull moment.

 

[Streak One]

Ripon Christian and Stone Ridge Christian also received postseason bans.
Vacaville Christian got probation.

 

[Streak One]

To me, a postseason ban is excessive. I’m not a fan of those type of bans because it usually punishes people who weren’t a part of the incident in question.

 

[John Mellencamp]

kids from other schools played on these teams and are facing no sanctions. i don’t get it. Capital played teams from Central section and North Coast. none of these sections are pursuing sanctions. i don’t see how these stand up in court

Agreed. I feel that in order to justify the ban they oughta allow kids from those programs to transfer out with no sit out period.

Seems interesting that only 4 out of the 9 schools who played are getting sanctions. What was the difference between them and how did the other 5 schools get around the rules?

Different sections

The punishment seems harsh. I have heard some say that the issue was the team using the high school equipment/gear.

Different sections

Last I checked, Big Valley Christian, Central Catholic, Grant, Hughson, & Woodland Christian, were all in the SJS.

That's great. But what about the 5 schools that I mentioned? They also fielded teams in the CAPS league and were giving warnings from the SJS, but they didnt receive any sanctions. Why not?

Not sure…….I misinterpreted your post, I thought U said 4 teams in the sjs got sanctioned and the rest of the teams didn’t and I said maybe the other 5 teams were out of the section which knowing a team in the central participated and didn’t get sanctioned

My bad

 

[Kickingtee18]

Who was sanctioned and who wasn't is boring. Why they were sanctioned is more interesting. Anyone consider this an overreach by CIF?

 

[John Mellencamp]

So I spoke with someone in the know at Capital and the section says that because they used the school field and equipment, uniforms etc it was a "school team" not a club team, which means they played 2 seasons last year. That's the sections stance.

Now keep in mind half the roster was made up with kids from other schools, the uniforms were unmarked without any kind of team name and the field was rented from the church.

The interesting twist is that there is a kid that has transferred in this year that played on the club team. When Capital asked Garrison directly if they needed to disclose this fact on the transfer paperwork since in Garrison's mind it was a school team, not a club team, Garrison didn't know how to respond. He later told them to disclose it.

CIF needs a better definition of a school team. Scrambling to retain control.

 

[mistark]

You have to inform the CIF if you have coached a transfer prior to their transfer. It falls under the undue influence part of transfer paperwork.

For sure, but I guess Capital's point was if your going to call it a school team, then he technically already played for the school and it wouldn't be undue influence or a transfer. Semantics of course, but Garrison not knowing how to answer the question initially is comical.

God the sections and the CIF look out for $$ /themselves first…..then somewhere at the bottom of their priorities is the kids best interest. Never have bothered to look at an application or the requirements to work there, but common sense, smarts and consistency for sure isn’t listed.

Any CCS teams or NCS teams involved?

cardinal newman had a team, but no other sections are going after teams
