2007,
2008 FOOTBALL CLASSIFICATIONS ANNOUNCED
Commissioner
Blake Ress announced today the enrollment figures and classifications for each football-playing
member school for the 2007-08 and 2008-09 school years.
The
enrollment figures, the total of boys and girls in grades 9-12, were submitted
by the member schools to the Indiana Department of Education and are used to
determine which schools play in each of the five classifications.
Football is
now reclassified every two years following action taken by the IHSAA Board of
Directors at its May 1, 2006 meeting. Football had previously been reclassified
every four years.
A total of
56 schools will play in a different classification than they had in the
previous four-year cycle. Sectional assignments will be announced this spring.
Also, per
IHSAA By-Law, C-2-3c, a school may opt to play up one or more classes in a
specific sport for that classification period by notifying the Association
Office.
