Staff Reports
The Central Board of Control recently approved school alignments for spring sports of baseball, soccer, softball, golf, tennis and outdoor track for the 2022-23 and 2023-24 school years.
Jackson County Athletic programs are among the AHSAA’s recently announced alignments. Alignments for fall and winter sports are based on the number of schools declaring to participate in each sport for the upcoming 2022-23 and 2023-24 school years. The reclassification of schools for the next classification period, were released earlier this year. Some sports may include two or more classes in a division based on the number of declared participants.
“I want to thank the Central Board and AHSAA staff for their dedicated efforts and time put in and the recommendations they made,” AHSAA Executive Director Alvin Briggs said. “As always, it was a difficult job, but everyone worked together to find the best solution as we move forward.”
Per the AHSAA Constitution and By-Laws, reclassification is conducted every two years by the AHSAA Central Board of Control.
