With the new school year approaching what are the probable changes for classes. I have heard of Central City to B. Stanton to C. Any others?

Tyler Hodges over at Nebraska City is pretty good at figuring out what the classifications will be. I am guessing he already has it done.

both Elkhorn schools in B, Hastings and S. Sioux move up to A

This is what I have from my guess. I only when down 10 schools into class C. So if there is some new co-ops out let me know and I will adjust.

There you go. Have it and let me know you think is wrong. Maybe once we start back to school, which won't be till 9/7 I will get all the smaller schools figured out for my friends in Northeast Nebraska.

Here is a wild guess at Class B districts. This could be way off. I was wrong by 1 school last year.

School District
1 Elkhorn South B-1
2 Gross B-1
3 Platteview B-1
4 Gretna B-1
5 Ashland Greenwood B-1
6 Wahoo B-1
7 Waverly B-1
8 Norris B-1
9 Plattsmouth B-1
10 Nebraska City B-1
11 Auburn B-1
12 Falls City B-1
1 O'Neill B-2
2 Hartington CC B-2
3 Wayne B-2
4 Blair B-2
5 Skutt B-2
6 Bennington B-2
7 Schuyler B-2
8 Elkhorn B-2
9 Boystown B-2
10 Mount Michael B-2
11 Columbus Lakeview B-2
12 Roncalli B-2
1 GI Northwest B-3
2 Adams Central B-3
3 Milford B-3
4 Aurora B-3
5 Central City B-3
6 Fairbury B-3
7 Beatrice B-3
8 Seward B-3
9 Lincoln Christian B-3
10 Minden B-3
11 York B-3
12 Crete B-3
1 Scottsbluff B-4
2 Gering B-4
3 Sidney B-4
4 Alliance B-4
5 Chadron B-4
6 Ogallala B-4
7 McCook B-4
8 Cozad B-4
9 Broken Bow B-4
10 Holdrege B-4
11 Lexington B-4
12 Gothenburg B-4

This is a very rough guess. The lines could flop a lot. Tear it up.

Should I mention that if Class A were 40 schools, Skutt would be in Class B???

Nahhh....no need stirrin' up that hornet's nest...LOL.

Can't remember, but I thought I heard Wayne would shift to B-3 with the two Elkhorns coming in.

Mike,

I was never very good at gazintas (2 gazinta 10 5 times, 3 gazinta 27 9 times, etc) but I thought that I was fair at sums. So I got a bunch of neighbors together and they all took their shoes off so I could count toes and test your theory about Skutt being in Class B if there were 40 teams in Class A. I marked off 32 toes as Class A and then started marking off 8 more toes as Class B teams. When I got to number 8 I saw it was Skutt. I even checked every foot to see that there were no lawn mower accidents messing up the results or that the man from Princess Bride who had 6 fingers on his right hand hadn't moved into our neighborhood without me knowing it. Everybody had the standard issue of 5 toes per foot.
According to rumors NC has a Ph. D. in statistics so I am assuming his lists are correct. Where did I go wrong?


“You should always be willing to give more than you receive, but you can’t.”

PS: In case anybody cares, if there were 91 schools in Class A then Douglas County West would be the smallest Class A school.

O'Neill would be the first team to flop out, but with them being so far north they move to a location/distance opposed to latitude and longitude. A lot of these schools are close to the line.

If your calculations are correct on the lineup of Class A schools, the A-4 District would have the top 3 teams from last year and 4 from the top 7 - all in one district! Grand Island, Kearney, Millard South, and Norfolk!

It is my understanding that there is no geographic considerations in assigning Class A districts, that they are serpentined by enrollment. So it would be a good idea to ease some of these logjams in the following way. After the state tournament each spring all underclassmen who qualified for the state tournament would be assigned points as follows: SQ (0-2) 1 pt. SQ (1-2) 2 pts plus bonus points from the win. SQ (2-2) 3 pts plus bonus points from wins. All place winners would be awarded points as scored in the tournament. The scores for each team will be totaled and then the districts would be assigned by serpentining those point totals. The point totals for non-placing qualifers might need tweaking but the concept should spread the talent among the districts.

Class A "Serpentined" comes out like Coach Schadwinkel posted. Wow what a barn burner that would be!

If this all holds up, which district would you rather avoid?

A4 or B2?

I will get it started. It is much harder to qualify coming from B-2.

Last yrs finishes
Skutt 1st
BoysTown 2nd
Schuyler 3rd
Bennington 5th
Blair 13th

Lets not forget 12 teams instead of 8 in a district. Year in and year out B-2 is a BEAST! Any given year you might see tough districts but it would be interesting to look at the last 20 years, I think B-2 would blow them all away. Who has the time to do this??

I agree with you ALF to some extent. But also look at C-2 and D-2. I know they are lower classes but year in and year out it seems these districts produce a large proportion of the the individual champions, medalists, and also the team champions.

All right, us small schools are waiting? I believe WPCC and S-S are COOPing for wrestling as well.

Heartland from D-1 will coop with York.

Hey I still haven't started school yet. Can't mess up my daily tee times for this. Looks like we will be starting next Tuesday, so I will breakdown the rest of the teams. Let me know of any new coops. I heard about WPCC and Scribner-Snyder.

Already posted on NSAA site.

Last year the NSAA released the new classifications two days after the new coops were do, which was yesterday. So, just maybe, they will be out tomorrow.
