A Southern Section releaguing appeals committee has recommended that Westlake Village Oaks Christian’s sports teams move into the Marmonte League and that Calabasas’ teams move out effective with the 2010-11 school year. Calabasas would replace Oaks Christian in the Tri-Valley League under the proposal.

The committee also recommended that Ventura St. Bonaventure should remain part of the Tri-Valley League and compete in the Channel League only in football; that Brea Olinda move to the Freeway League in all sports and Anaheim Western move to the Orange League in all sports; and that Glendora move to the Sierra League in all sports and West Covina South Hills move to the San Antonio/Miramonte League in all sports.

Schools unhappy with the recommendations can appeal to the section’s executive committee prior to its May 20 meeting. The recommendations could be approved during a vote by the section council on Oct. 22.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
