Can't say that I agree.

For some unknown reason, the 4A powers that be in the Columbia Basin League area decided to against having a 4A/3A combo league. By making that decision, they have effectly cut the amount of potential playoff teams in half. The Kennewick schools, now without much of a league to play in, now have to compete in the 4A division. I honestly don't know the reasons behind this. As Sideline Smitty pointed out, combo leagues can and do work out very well. If not for the combo league this year, the CBL would not have had 3 teams playing in the first round of the playoffs this year.

It will be interesting to see what happens. Especially if the Greater Spokane League continues to dominate the CBL teams. I wonder if they will be kicking themselves if every 4A school east of the mountains not located in the Spokane area turns in their football gear at the end of October. No tears from me if that happens.
