Not sure why this would be a big surprise. South is close to being D five and in the last couple of years have played CVCA and Northwest In football and CVCA, NW, Manchester, Tuslaw, Triway and Fairless in hoops and a lot of those same teams in baseball. South has a beautifully renovated football stadium that would be the nicest in the PAC and also a new gymnasium. Personally, I would love to see South and Minerva join and CVCA leave. I think that would make for a nice well balanced league although the drive from Minerva to Triway would be a haul. Hopefully it happens but until it’s official I’m not holding my breath because I thought South was in a couple of years ago and at the last minute was turned down.
after numerous failed attempts to join in the past is the reason it is a surprise now
