Yep any sport after football and basketball.

As long as excitement has been increased then I guess 7 classes is worth it.

Region 5: Quitman,  SE Lauderdale,  Clarkdale, Union, Raleigh, Pisgah

Region 6: McLaurin, St Andrew's, Magee, Mendenhall,  Crystal Springs,  Hazlehurst

I just think they  should have the same number of teams in each region instead of having 6 in one region and 4 in another.

That was the ideal but it has backfired in some regions.

[Rebel Bert]

He might put Wesson in region 6 but if so then it will be Mize, Puckett, and Pelahatchie and maybe Lake similar to when they were 3A. I think if one is pulled to Region 8 it will be Bpgue Chitto or Enterprise Lincoln.

Is it possible that Louisville may join the south in 4A next season! Looking at the new classification and it looks possible

That’s way too far of a drive for Wesson to every school.

They had to drive to Raleigh 2 times.

2A South isn’t gonna slice nice for everyone. If they keep all the regions at 5 teams someone is gonna have a bad draw driving wise no matter what it’s just a matter of how they decide to do it.

I don’t see how they can keep 5 teams in every region because you have 6 teams in the southwest part of the state that are all close to each other but nowhere near anybody else…. Wilkinson Co., Amite Co., Enterprise Lincoln, Bogue Chitto, Loyd Star, and Wesson. Where else can you put any of those schools? Even if you put Wesson with Puckett, Pelahatchie, and Mize… who would be the 5th team? Scott Central? Wesson isn’t anywhere near any of those schools. Every single one of those schools is 60-90 minutes away from Wesson. There is nothing that makes any geographical sense with those 6 southwestern ms schools. You pretty much have no choice but to leave them all together in one region. And that means you end up with another region only having 4 teams. Unless you have 21 teams in the south and 19 in the north, which would leave one region up north with 4 teams instead.

If I had to guess the 5a south regions would be this. This makes the most sense at least. 
 

Wayne County 

Laurel 

South Jones 

stone 

east central 

Vancleave 

 

Brookhaven 

Natchez 

north pike 

Florence 

provine 

vicksburg? 
 

I don’t know who fills that last spot. But since this makes the most sense it probably won’t happen 

Makes the most sense. The only other thing would be to move lanier down to region 3, which is possible I suppose. Would basically keep everything around I55 minus Natchez.

I agree that the 6 should be together however the original rule is the director makes the call. He got the board to give him authority last year on 5A-7A going 5/6/7 teams based on geography.  He will need to do the same before placing 4A-1A schools.

How many non football teams in 2A north will get the ball rolling with say Region 1 4 football and 1 non football.  Then you go from there. In 3A you may have 4 teams in region 3 in the Delta or send St Andrew's north. Then send Union north to Region 4. That makes 20/20. Region 8 will have OLA and 4 football schools in 3A.

As far as I know all the north teams play football

Has this been confirmed? I figured Mendenhall would be in the district with Quitman.

Not confirmed  but I can tell you them and Magee will likely be together.

I figured they would be. The reason I figured Mendenhall would be because it is 20 miles closer to Quitman than Pisgah. We were always in the district together when we were in 4A.
