Upland High administrators and football Coach Tim Salter met with Southern Section officials, seeking a share of the Division II football title they claim was lost when a game official mistakenly awarded a fifth down to Diamond Bar in the Division II final last Friday.

The mistake occurred during Diamond Bar’s game-winning drive after Upland had declined a holding penalty. The error helped Diamond Bar earn a 17-14 victory.

“They have some legitimate concerns,” said Bill Clark, an assistant commissioner for the section. “The official made a mistake.”
