NORTH COAST SECTION, CIF

GIL LEMMON, COMMISSIONER OF ATHLETICS

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9,2018

Due to the recent fires in Northern California, which subsequently has affected the air quality for much of the North Coast Section, NCS staff must make critical decisions based on existing air quality data to ensure the safety of our student-athletes, while reducing confusion and potential chaos in cancelling games a second time, should the air quality not improve by the next day. Assuming all games can finish by Mon., November 12, games for the next round will tentatively be played on Saturday, November 17. Future games may be left as TBD on the brackets until more information is known. We will be handling all of our playoff contests on a sport-by-sport basis. We appreciate everyone’s flexibility and understanding as we work through this challenging situation.
