Former Coach

Yes. And I think the updated numbers are to just give an approximate idea. The reclassification will still go off of October 22 numbers as in the past.

I trust the 2 members of the Executive Committee that told me that this is probably going to pass, reclassification would take place in fall of 22, and play under the new 7 class system would begin in the fall of 23. Also was told that recalls would be grades 9-11.

They are not going to make schools build new schedules in all sports in late April. Reclassification will take place next year just like the article said, but won't begin until the 23-24 school year.

Article wrong. Talked to couple people on the executive committee.

Yes, reclass will take place in fall 22 whether they stay with 6 or go to 7 classifications. But new classifications won't begin till fall of 23. Reclassifications are always done in the fall of the even year every 2 years. Last reclass took place in fall of 20.

According to proposal classes 2through 4 will have 40 teams each with 5 per region.

That is correct, which is why you can't do 8-11.

Can't do 8-11 because all middle schools/jr. highs aren't feeder schools. In certain counties/districts an 8th grader may have 2 or 3 high schools to chose from.

That is incorrect. There will be 40 schools per classification regardless if they play football or not. If a region has a non football playing school then all four football teams would make the playoffs.

Under this alignment regions would not be split. Schools will play in the same region in all sports

I doubt this would happen.

I heard Howell at Wheeler has shown some interest.

I can't speak for all of the stadiums, but as far as field conditions, no natural grass field in any classification is as good as 2A Baldwyn. Every time I've been there it almost looks like a turf field. Stadium is pretty nice also. Ill try to find a pic or two off twitter and post if I can.

Has anyone heard possible names at Baldwyn?
