I was surprised to hear the news, but then after thinking about, probably shouldn't be. There are already a handful of early enrollees and might be some more opt-outs for lack of a better term.

Crazy that the Salinas teams or teams in Monterey county can play only teams in adjacent counties. I hope there is some type of exception since it makes it really tough to get any competitive games since I believe the Salinas Public schools have booked games against Salinas teams (Salinas, Alvarez, N Salinas, etc.). In any event, Palma v San Benito if it happens will be a good game to see. It makes sense that Palma v Salinas should be played since they are usually at the top of their league every year. Aptos and Palma would also be a good one.

[MTsince2004]

According to the Sac Bee, the Metropolitan League of the SJS may only have two schools that play football this shortened season. As of their reporting, only Monterey Trail and River City are clearly indicating that they will play. Additionally I have heard locally that Laguna Creek is also trying to line up games. The issue for the other schools might be more at the district level (Sac City Unified) than at the school sites themselves.
The article is behind a pay wall. Here is a pertinent excerpt:


Sac Bee--Joe Davidson reporting:

Monterey Trail’s 2020 fall schedule included national power Bosco of Southern California, Del Oro, Pittsburg, Folsom and Cosumnes Oaks. It was as formidable a schedule as you could find in Northern California. Then the fall season was wiped out due to COVID-19 concerns, as were all of prep sports across the state, since March. Now the Mustangs hope to schedule some Elk Grove Unified programs, their neighbors, or maybe even jump in with some of the Sierra Foothill League schools to fill in for Grant, which told the SFL to schedule without the Pacers as they seek Twin Rivers Unified School District clearance to play football.

Monterey Trail’s EGUSD district and Metro League are within Sacramento County, which expects to be under the state’s per-capita threshold of 14 coronavirus cases per 100,000 people to begin practices next week.

The Metro League athletic directors decided in January that if its member schools Burbank, Johnson, Kennedy, Laguna Creek, McClatchy, Monterey Trail and River City were within an acclimation period by Feb. 15, then schools could create their own schedules. That is what has happened. All of those schools except River City, Laguna Creek and Monterey Trail are in the Sacramento City Unified School District.

What adds to the chaos is the Sac City Unified has not had on-campus learning since the pandemic roared in a year ago, and there is a tug-of-war between the teachers, union and district, everyone stressing safety.

[carmelkyd]

Understand Carmel has had Several socially distanced workouts/practices this week. Perhaps 50+ kids attending. However in a purple tier and at 15 right now. No games scheduled so far. Heard Palma and Hollister are the only two area teams with any sort of a schedule. (But San Benito County is at 19 and may take a while to come down since migrant farm workers are headed back from Yuma, AZ, and they have historically had higher rates of infection. Same true for Monterey County.) Not sure if the Salinas area public schools have any games scheduled either. Rumor that PG tried to hold workouts/practice but fewer than 10 kids showed up?

That's unfortunate about PG. Program will be hit for a couple years at least,

 

[RLS13]

Carmel sitting at about 35+ kids (Both levels) . PG had 20+ the other day. Don't know if RLS will be able to get a team together. The good news is that according to this website:

U.S. COVID Risk & Vaccine Tracker

Covid Act Now has real-time tracking of your community's COVID risk level. Explore how Monterey County, California is doing.

covidactnow.org

Monterey County could be in Pads by Tuesday!! (Today at 15.2, yesterday at 13.1)

As far as schedules, max preps has some random game posted but I have not heard of anything definitive outside of Hollister V Palma and Hollister V St. Francis.

It will be interesting if Salinas City schools truly only play each other, that could cause some problems for Palma scheduling games. ( I don't think anyone on the Peninsula want to play them nor do any of the smaller Salinas valley teams. Nor Cal do you know if Palma has scheduled anyone else?

Max preps has Santa Cruz teams in 2 leagues of 5 each playing a non-league game vs a Monterey County or Santa Clara County team. They also have some random Monterey county match ups, but don't know if i trust them...

 

[bulldogmgc]

I wonder how St. Mary's will be able to play on March 13 against DLS since their county didn't get cleared today

On Friday the California Department of Public Health released the guidance, which will allow outdoor "contact" sports to be played once a county reaches a COVID-19 infection rate of 14 new cases per-day for every 100,000 residents. San Joaquin County population is 781,462. That equates to allowing contact once the county achieves 109 new cases per day, its "red" tier (allowing baseball and softball). Football is "orange" tier. For the high-contact sports like football and water polo athletes must be tested for COVID-19 every week. Baseball and softball would not have that requirement, and once the county reaches the "red" tier no testing will be required for any of those sports. 140 new cases were reported yesterday, none today, per LA Times. The numbers are actually gathered weekly on Tuesdays. Latest for San Joaquin County was 16 new cases per-day (for every 100,00). So we are getting closer. With 2 weeks away, it is still possible this game happens per the health department guidelines.

However, since St. Mary's is a private school, it may not be subjected to the same criteria for the public schools. In fact, I was hearing early on that the private schools were looking into establishing their own games. But, it would be risky and may create a sore spot with the CIF (possibly not being allowed back in with the CIF). As of last week, I have heard the Rams were practicing (in pads) but following safety guidelines for "orange" tier and high-contact sports. Also, reported by the LA Times, the independent charter schools can definitely participate in sports if they decide it can be done safely. Hence, I expect this game to happen. But, I may have doubts the game vs Lincoln-Stockton (tentatively scheduled for 3/19 @ St. Mary's) will happen. I'm checking in with my chain gang lead to see if there are any updates.

On a very sad note, lost a dear friend (over 25+ years) and co-member of our chain gang crew for St. Mary's a couple weeks ago (on 2/14) due to COVID-19. He will truly be missed, not just on the football field. 😥

San Benito is the planned opening game, and I think Salinas Cowboys are trying to fit Palma into schedule. Salinas may have a period where they play 3 games in 10 days. Other than that I believe when season starts depends if Monterey and San Benito county can both get below the thresh hold on Tuesday. COVID was rampant in the migrant worker community and believe many travel to Yuma AZ for the harvesting season. Palma hasn't release any additional information but hopefully they can get a game also with Aptos and maybe there can be an exception for them to play out of county. Maybe a shot at south 101 adjoining county with Paso Robles or Atascadero. Wanted to see them play Mitty and SHC but not happening.

First so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.

No good way to transition, but I assumed schools like St. Mary's would be doing work before getting cleared so they have less to do once they are officially cleared.

 

[Prepwisdom]

Pacific Grove only has 12-13 out for both levels total. They are obviously going to have a tough time fielding one team. Then the bigger question will be who can they schedule that makes sense. Their 550 student co-ed closed borders enrollment situation has caught up with them in this covid era.

 

[carmelkyd]

John Devine reporting that the Monterey Unified School District (which includes Monterey, Seaside and Marina) has cancelled football, water polo, girl's volleyball and field hockey. This in spite of the fact that Monterey County is now at 11.8 for the past 7 days. (A number that was 70.3 just a month ago.) But as NorCal said, with migrant workers returning these numbers won't necessarily stay down. We will have to see. But in any case it looks like the MPUSD has made their decision and we won't see the Toreadores, the Spartans or the Mariners on the gridiron in the Spring of 2021.

Football is back in Monterey County and San Benito County which both passed on the COVID thresh hold to return (meaning all of CCS counties passed).

 

[NorCalSportsFan]

Palma opens up March 26 traveling to San Joaquin Memorial in Fresno (team that lost to Serra by 10 in regional last season). They also have King City, Salinas and San Benito on schedule. Looks like they have had tough time finding games with county rule. I like the SJM matchup and Salinas and San Benito are must haves. Would have liked Aptos...King City might be over matched. Only 4 games on schedule and starting late. Would have liked 6 games but counties didn't get approved until today.
