December 18, 2013 (San Diego’s East County) – Christian High School in El Cajon won the CIF Division3 championship against  the San Marcos High Knights  on December 8. But another battle loomed in the courtroom over the prior week.

On December 9, Superior Court Judge William Sato denied Christian High’s request for injunctive relief to gain consideration as a Division 4 school in the state football series hosted by the San Diego CIF.  Athletic Director David Beezer  sought to create a fair advantage that Christian High should be entitled to based to its enrollment size.  According to the SDCIF handbook, Christian High should be a Division 4 school as far as athletics are concerned contended Beezer, who believes Christian High is being discriminated against and that this is in conflict with the CIF’s own written policy.
