Varsity programs canceled?

[Lil49erCoach]

Does anyone have information on schools in CA that have canceled the varsity football program (for a season, not permanent), either recent past or this season?

Interesting article from last January about participation in CA. The interesting item is towards the bottom where they publish the numbers from participation surveys done each year by the CIF.

Elsie Allen in Santa Rosa will not field a team this year.

But Healdsburg, who folded its varsity team last year after the 2nd game, is back with both a varsity and JV team.

I know that in the CCS in the past decade both Harker and St. Francis of Watsonville had a year where they cancelled varsity football and just played JV and then came back with varsity football the next year. Both made rather last minute decisions which created friction with their leagues. Harker was in the lower division of the Santa Clara league and now plays as an independent and competes in the the NCS play-offs. St. Francis Watsonville went back into the local equity league for Monterey and Santa Cruz county.
