New league goes old school

| No Comments |

When the new league alignment that begins in September for the Mt. SAC Area was approved last fall, one of the forgotten things was that since essentially the remainder of the Miramonte and San Antonio leagues (plus Diamond Bar from the Sierra) were combined for a 7-team league, what would they call the new league?
I figured they would probably call it either the Miramonte or San Antonio. But no, it's the Hacienda League. A league that predates me (and I've been in the area for almost 15 years), but I am aware of it. Must be some old school principals.

I don't know all the alignments of the Hacienda Leagues, but at least from 1984-85, the alignment was:
Bonita, Chino, Diamond Bar, Etiwanda, Ganesha, Garey, Montclair, Ontario.
In 1986, Diamond Bar left and it was left with a 7-team league I believe, and by 1988, Chino was out and left it a 6-team league. I believe the league ceased to exist around 1991, when Etiwanda left to join the Baseline League, then a year later joined the all-Chaffey district Mt. Baldy League.

The new Hacienda League? It's got Bonita, Diamond Bar, Diamond Ranch, Los Altos, Rowland, Walnut, and West Covina. So I'm guessing it's either Bonita principal Bob Ketterling or Diamond Bar principal Denis Paul at work to resurrect the Hacienda League name, since those are the only 2 schools that cross over from what I have.
