Classification notes....

Post by **Crimson's Ghost** » July 15th, 2012, 7:04 pm

I took some notice on certain things for this upcoming two year cycle.

--Somerset moves back to AAA for Football after falling behind for a few years. That puts them with Bellefonte and Johnstown. I have not heard if they will co-op with District 9 this year. But at least there is three teams now.

--District 5 has 3 AA teams and will merge with the 16 D6 teams I would assume. Everett joins Chestnut Ridge and Bedford as the three D5 teams.

--Southern Huntingdon is listed at AA despite them being "A" size. Marion Center and Bellwood-Antis both have more kids than SH.

--District Six "A" has 22 teams, and I do believe there is now an 8 team cut for playoffs, correct me if I am wrong.

You are correct about the 8 teams

southern huntingdon has a co-op with another school, but I just can't remember who. the combination put them above the class A line.

CG:

I believe these are the answers to some of your notes:

1. Somerset, Bellefonte, Johnstown, 3 District 9 teams, and ??? District 8 teams will form a AAA subregional this year.

2. District 5 is in a subregional with District 8 and 9. I believe it will work the same way it did two cycles ago. District 5 will have a championship game the weekend of subregional (or district) Quarterfinals, then play District 8 with that survivor playing District 9.

3. S.Huntingdon coops with Forbes Road and it puts them over the AA limit.

4. Not sure about the 6-A playoff structure but I think since they are playing dates it has to be just 8.

D6-A playoffs have gone back to an 8 team field this year, which allows all the teams to play a 10 game regular season schedule.

Thats a good move for AAA, felt bad there was no championship for the Johnstown kids last season. I think it hurt them.

Interesting with D5 AA. Could be Bedford-Chestnut Ridge game back to back weeks if thats the case.

Didn't they play back to back two years ago???

Might have been three years ago when Bedford made that run.
