Potential realignment for 2018 in football

Potential realignment for 2018 should the SCCAL and MTAL merge with the MBL, which is being discussed.
Based solely on balance and not enrollments, here is what a four-tier league for the tri-region could look like for football only.
.
A Division
Palma
San Benito
Aptos
Monte Vista
Salinas
North Salinas
Alvarez
.
BI Division
Seaside
Carmel
Scotts Valley
Soledad
Gilroy
Christopher
Stevenson
.
BII Division
Pacific Grove
King City
Watsonville
San Lorenzo Valley
Alisal
Monterey
Santa Cruz
.
C Division
Soquel
Greenfield
Gonzales
North County
Marina
Pajaro Valley
Harbor
St. Francis Catholic
.
*Note: I would still stress that no school with an enrollment under 1,000 should ever be forced into the 'A' Division unless it chooses to.

That is a nice thought but what do you do when a small school has won the B1 Division 3 years in a row? Do they get to refuse being forced up into the A league?

And where do you make the cut-off to define a small school? I'll bet the schools right over the arbitrary number you set to define a small school are not going to be very happy.
