  1. ^ On June 2, the CIF penalized Dodge City by removing two of their wins when the team was 9–2, reducing their record to 7–4.[1]


Dodge City Law video controversy edit

On June 2, 2017, the league stripped the Dodge City Law of two victories without awarding them to any other team. Reports from other teams and a subsequent investigation found that the Law were in violation of the league's operations manual and guidelines on uploading video. As their final game of the season did not start at the time, the Law's record went from 9–2 to 7–4. When asked about the decision, commissioner Ricky Bertz stated, "While this situation was unfortunate and no one in the CIF including the Dodge City Law wanted this to be the final outcome, the board of directors decided that this was what was best for the league given the circumstances and how they related to all team members involved."[1]
