Point Loma High School’s football program has been reassigned to the Western League after completing an undefeated 2025 campaign, a decision made by the San Diego Section of the California Interscholastic Federation.
The Western League’s Shrinking Roster
The Pointers finished the previous season 11‑1 overall, 10‑0 in the Eastern League, and earned promotion to a league that now includes Cathedral Catholic, Lincoln and Mission Bay, while traditional rivals such as Scripps Ranch, St. Augustine and University City were dropped.
The realignment reflects CIF’s annual re‑leaguing model, which moves teams up after strong performances and down after weak ones, a system the article argues fails to predict future talent.
Looking ahead, the 2026 schedule opens with a 117‑mile trek to Lawndale to meet Leuzinger High School, a team that posted six 40‑point games en route to an 11‑2 record last year.
Home contests are slated against Otay Ranch, Grossmont, Del Norte, Scripps Ranch and Mission Bay, while road games will take the Pointers to La Jolla, Lincoln and Cathedral Catholic, with a scheduled bye week on October 2 and all kickoffs set for 7 p.m.
The prospect of a Super League involving private institutions such as Cathedral Catholic, St. Augustine, Mater Dei Catholic, Mission Hills, Carlsbad and Lincoln has been floated as a response to the four‑team Western League, suggesting a broader reshaping of San Diego high school football.
