Changes in 4A

I think the worst part of it all (besides the obvious) is that it drops the least successful team. I get it that they don’t want to drop a team that could go down and dominate a class lower than them, but it creates “super classes” in 3A and 4A.

Several years ago Metro, Cascia Hall, and Heritage Hall were in 4A and Heritage Hall was the only private to win it all and it only happened once. So maybe it won’ change much. Time will tell

I agree. It makes 4A a really DEEP class and makes some others weaker. The main reasoning is losing the 3 worst teams so districts will get tougher. It adds Heritage Hall to a really tough west side.

I hated the fact that the legislature got involved to make sure we didn’t seperate. All public schools still would have played them just wouldn’t have had to have them come playoff time the plan was great. If I was a 2A/3A/4A coach the last 10-12 years I would be pissed especially 3A the last 4 years. Where maybe 1 public school has made the semis in each year.

LC gonna get killed in 4A.

When the private school attorneys didn’t raise a fuss over the recent ballot you knew it was weak. Anyone who voted for that is a pawn. The OSSAA is to blame for their gutless approach. While we do not expect the privates to have as much success as prior years all that now means is that is easier for them to return to a lower class. BS. Please answer this, if a 4A private doesn’t play in semis are they returned to their original place due to enrollment? 2A for example.

While, I absolutely agree with separation- please know that that sup retired 2020

I believe Private schools should be allowed to play throughout the season in any class they chose but its ridiculous that they are allowed to play in The public school playoffs. They control their enrolment and openly recruit kids so at the least they should all be in 5a or 6a or how bout we do it like the Great state of Texas and put them in their own dang league!
