Forest Hills moves from the largest D6 AAA school to the largest D6 AA school in a 2 year period.  From 243 to 198.

So glad they just spent $40+ million on a new school for a dwindling student population!

Wow. Forest Hills dropped 45 boys in a 2 year cycle? That's unheard of.

Anyone familiar with the program know if they will elect to stay in AAA? Or if BG will elect to be AA?

Penn Cambria, Bedford, and Juniata are all AAAA in basketball now with Juniata moving to AAAA for FB as well

I’m fascinated by some of these numbers.  With a massively declining population base, how does Johnstown gain 32 and Westmont gain 30 in these 2 years?  Granted it coincides with the McCort/Divine Mercy reorganization- that surely explains the drop in McCort’s enrollment- and accounts for some of the gain in these two districts. Still when everyone else loses numbers (FH, yikes!), or has negligible gains/losses, how do these two districts gain substantially?  Not sure a trip to AAA is what Westmont had in mind.

Why would FH play up? They will play by their classification just like everyone else in the district.

Wonder how the new cycle will affect playoffs for next year. For example, this year in District 5 AA- Berlin, Everett, Westinghouse and CR were the teams in D5/8 AA. But I noticed that Westinghouse is now AAA. So I guess that means no more District 5/8 playoff game. It looks as if Berlin, North Star, Meyersdale, Everett and Ridge are now the D5 AA teams for next year.
