My view on the GA 7A format and reclassification.


Recommended Posts

2019 will be the last year under the current 7A 

Format  awhile back I saw a rumor on the GA boards but I'm not putting any stock in it unless someone else can confirm it...

But on to what I do know... 

Alot of the South GA HS's are growing due to Community growth. 

Agriculture is booming and for some reason alot if businesses are moving in and with economic growth comes more family's so that means more move ins and athletes... 

We could be seeing alot of schools jumping up a class in South GA.... 

And one of the more interesting cases... 

Is Region 1 7A.... 

We could either see 3-4 new members or they could split the region into 2... 

Given the current school enrollment numbers(Which may or may not be accurate) just an estimate

Region 1 would look like this if they added in new members: 

Colquitt

Camden 

Lowndes 

Valdosta

Tift 

Brunswick

Lee 

Richmond Hills

Glynn Academy

Coffee

I just don't like the way that looks.... 

A 10 team South GA region.... 

If they where smart they'd split it: 

Region 1:

Valdosta(2100+)

Colquitt(2800+)

Tift(2100-2800)

Lee (2000+)

Lowndes (3200+)

 

Region X:

Coffee (Yes group them with the coastal region like when Brunswick first joined)(?)

Glynn Academy(?)

Camden (3000+)

Richmond Hills (2000-2800)

Brunswick(?)

 

I'm not doing Metro Atlanta yet.... 

Because like I said the numbers are mostly estimates.... Or possibly old.... 

And Metro ATL fluctuates too much... 

I know most of Gwinnett is hitting 3K or higher and Mill Creek is somewhere between 3K and 6K... I'll leave

@Fred to the Gwinnett numbers... 

 

It'll be interesting....

But to be real.... 

I'm not a fan of 7A all that much... 

It gave us some good matchups but damn this.... 

It killed alot of  great rivalries....

I would like the 6A format back.... 

Having Valdosta,Coffee and Lee back where they belong.... 

Gwinnett county schools would likely never have to go out of county for a region game(Well except for Rockdale and Newton)

Cobb County schools could all flop in the playoffs in 1 classes instead of 3...
