The system is as it is. Just as in the game itself, life bounces many ways. Sometimes in your favor, sometimes not Colquitt is proof that a champion overcomes such obstacles. Examine their road record during this current streak of successful football seasons. At this point in the season in Georgia, the amount of "lesser teams", has diminished. Every team remaining belongs where they are.

The issue is that they are GHSA members. They won't leave the organization and another entity will not replace the GHSA. The important thing is a state title, not a mythical national championship. How many times must you be told this?

Works for us!

No doubt yet perplexing. Either they matter or they don't. Good teams deserve recognition regardless. I think ever one of the 6A top ten in Georgia are within your "top 200-250 threshold. If not, maybe it is more "fan" than pollster.

Just seeking consistency.

I thought 7A was all that mattered..........

You still would have been wrong had he not posted........right?

Five Team Florida speaks.

Yeah.......none of these are any good. Certainly not national attention worthy,,......... 1Gainesville(10 - 0)- 2Thomas County Central(10 - 0)- 3Roswell(9 - 1)- 4Douglas County(10 - 0)- 5Hughes(8 - 2)- 6Rome(9 - 1)- 7Marist(9 - 1)- 8Lee County(8 - 2)- 9Houston County(8 - 2)- 10Woodward Academy(8 - 2)

Open Menu GHSA places schools in classes for next two-year cycle NOV 1 WRITTEN BY TODD HOLCOMB City and private schools took a hit in reclassification two years ago with a new 3.0 multiplier. They are probably smiling today. The Georgia High School Association on Wednesday placed its 457 member schools into classifications for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 academic years, and some larger county public schools got the worst of it. Nineteen schools are moving into the highest classification, now called Class 6A and containing 64 football-playing schools instead of the current 45. All are from county or multiple-high-school districts. The 19 are Alexander, Alpharetta, Arabia Mountain, Chapel Hill, Douglas County, Effingham County, Etowah, Grovetown, Heritage-Conyers, Houston County, New Manchester, Newnan, North Atlanta, North Forsyth, Paulding County, Rockdale County, Shiloh, South Cobb and Tift County. They may appeal. Milton is the only school currently in the highest class assigned to a lower one. Milton got a similar assignment in 2021 and petitioned to play in the highest class. City schools Buford, Carrollton, Marietta and Valdosta are slated to remain in the highest class, but Gainesville, Dalton and Rome will be in 5A, one from the top. They’re currently in 6A, one from the top, but likely relieved that they didn’t get a promotion into the expanded highest class. Jefferson and Calhoun, city schools currently in 5A, will go down to 3A. Thomasville went from 3A to Class A Division I. The larger private schools also got favorable reclass outcomes. Current 6A schools St. Pius, Blessed Trinity and Marist ended up in Class 4A. Slated for 3A are Greater Atlanta Christian (currently in 5A) and Benedictine and Westminster (both 4A). Lovett was moved to 2A from 4A. Woodward Academy, at 5A, is set to be the only private school in either of the two highest classes. New for the next cycle, private schools falling in classes 3A to A will compete for their own state titles separate from public schools, though they will be together for the regular season. Larger schools that fall in 3A-A, such as Westminster, GAC and Lovett, might petition to play up in 4A. So might Holy Innocents’ and Trinity Christian, which did so in 2021. The 3.0 multiplier, instituted in 2021 for the current class cycle, counted out-of-zone students three times when determining classification. The multiplier was voted in to mitigate the winning ways of city and private schools, which get a higher percentage of their students outside the school zones. That’s deemed an unfair competitive advantage to some. For this reclassification, schools did not have to apply the 3.0 multiplier to out-of-zone students who began at their schools in the fifth grade or earlier. Private schools were allowed to choose their attendance zone rather than take the one of the public school where they are located. Those changes probably allowed city and public schools to avoid harsher class assignments this time around. In the most extreme case, St. Pius had 1,060 out-of-zone students in 2021 but only 348 under the new rules. These classifications are not final. Schools have a week to appeal their assignments. Following that, the GHSA will place schools into regions. Below are the schools in each class. Key: School - Enrollment total (enrollment/out-of-zone students) Current classification.

Then they should be excluded from consideration. Much like IMG and the state playoffs. All the states that stake a claim to a national standing, should forfeit any such claim and it be recognized by the entities responsible for such rankings.

There are limits to human interaction. This coach crossed the line, period. His rant complete with challenges of physical harm.......are a no-no. Any coach that has a need to express themselves to this point, is a liability.

As a father, I am not sure the apology and self suspension works for me. It would be difficult to accept, as a father, as a human. The venom with which the words contained expressed, in my opinion, were meant to strike fear, terror. What say you? https://winknews.com/2023/09/11/swfl-prep-and-tech-coach-viral-video/

Now we are really talking pay to play. https://www.on3.com/nil/news/georgia-high-school-association-approves-nil-deals-for-athletes/

Just not a status quo man myself. Any Given Friday is more akin to my thought process. Sometimes I know better but I'll go with the underdog just the same.
