COUNCIL SUPPORTS SIX PREP BOWLS.Byline: Bill Schlotter Daily News Staff Writer Southern Section council members voiced support Thursday Thursday: see week. for a state proposal to play six high school football bowl games next season. But the council had mixed views about a proposal to allow high school coaches also to coach club teams on which their players are members. The council took no action Thursday but will vote on both measures May 1. The football scheme calls for six bowl games at three sites, one site each in Southern, Central and Northern California Northern California, sometimes referred to as NorCal, is the northern portion of the U.S. state of California. The region contains the San Francisco Bay Area, the state capital, Sacramento; as well as the substantial natural beauty of the redwood forests, the northern , section spokesman Art Munda Mun·da n.

And a variety of criteria - including championship status, record, school size and history and matchup appeal - would be used to select the teams.

Proponents noted that the Southern Section is the only section to have such a rule, Munda said, putting it at a competitive disadvantage in postseason competition with other section teams. Those against the plan have a variety of concerns. They fear that some coaches will insist that their high school athletes also play for the club team, preventing the students from participating in other high school sports. ``They're concerned about starting a trend toward one-sport athletes,'' Munda said. Another concern was the potential development of a competitive inequity between schools in areas able to afford to send kids to club programs and poorer areas unable to pay for participation on such teams. The council also heard a proposal to raise the fees paid section officials by $1 per game for varsity officials next season and by an additional $1 per game for officials at all levels the following season. |
