The Southern California Football Association (SCFA) has released its entire 2016 schedule. SBVC Football will resume its rivalry with Mt. San Antonio, Pasadena City, Citrus, LA Southwest and Allan Hancock in their non-Conference schedule.
The Mountain Conference slate of games includes traveling to San Diego Mesa and Victor Valley, in addition to hosting College of the Desert and Southwestern. Homecoming and Sophomore Night will be November 12th in a game featuring Mt. San Jacinto.
The changes to the SCFA occur every two years and the Conferences are now spread out amongst two tiered Divisions. With this season being the first year of the most recent two year cycle, starting the 2018 season, teams will be adjusted throughout the SCFA based on their Conference performance over the past two seasons, and could be moved on to a different Division. Success this season, in addition to the accomplishments of next season, is crucial for a team to advance to a more challenging Division of play.
