Awaiting word on playoff allocations
September 19th, 2012 by jeff grahamCentral Kitsap athletic director Bill Baxter and South Kitsap
athletic director Ed Santos are eager to find out how many Narrows
League football teams advance to the playoffs this season.
That number should be known by next week, after the Washington
Interscholastic Activities Association’s Executive Board concludes
its two-day fall meeting on Monday.
The West Central District is in the process of finalizing its
playoff allocation plan, which is subject to Executive Board
approval.
The past two years, four football teams from the Narrows League
have qualified for the preliminary round of the Class 4A state
tournament.
Since the league went from eight teams to seven teams prior to the
school year, Baxter anticipates the league losing one playoff
allocation — to the 18-team South Puget Sound League or the
six-team Greater St. Helens League — either this season or next
season. That means four Narrows teams could qualify for the
postseason this year and three next year — or vice versa.
Santos is holding out hope the league could four playoff berths
this year and next.
“We’d love to get four and four,” Santos said.
The Olympic League is also waiting to find out how many berths are
available into the Class 2A West Central District tournament.
