CHSAA released today the proposed classifications for football concerning the next two-year cycle which begins with Fall 2018.  These classifications are not final and will be considered by the football committee at their next meeting on December 7th.
The classification splits are based on these enrollment numbers.  We place six and eight-man schools in the same bracket and those classes will be further defined at the December 7th meeting.  Teams also have the option of playing up in classification and they’re listed in our breakdown.  A few teams have also submitted requests to play down a class and they too are marked in our list.
Once the classification numbers are approved, then leagues will be determined by the football committee.
