HooverOutlaw Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Alabama has 7 needs to drop back to 6 or probably 5. For a state with 5 million 7 is to many. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus69 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Oh, and for the record...Buford will play in AAAAAA with 1,700 students and will more than likely win the "ship". Rufus>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ga96 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Yeah they already voted on that. Its for travel expenses and supposed to make the state even tougher competition wise. Unfortunately it does nothing to stop the recruited up all star teams. I wouldn't mind going back to 5 and turning it into a blood bath like it use to be.

Wildcat Will Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 It also means some current 6A teams will drop to 5A. To place the 46 schools currently in 7A into 6A and what do you do with the 58 teams that are now 6A. We have 54 in 5A, 60 in 4A, 51 in 3A, 65 in 2A and 48 in Div. 1 with 75 in Div. 2. There are going to be some major shifts in classes 3A, 4A and 5A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Georgia needs to consolidate classes. They have too many for the amount of football teams. Florida is the same way. Tons of states are. 5 classes would be the ideal number realistically for GA based on there being less than 500 teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaximumHornetSting Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 The way they did 1A bothers me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just my opinion... I agree about GA 5/6... Alabama like @HooverOutlaw said has way too many for the population they have.... no way should Alabama have 7 classes. Ill be honest Alabama could probably make it with 4/5 I wish California used a less complex system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA Fan Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 No reason for any decent-sized state to have fewer than 100 schools per class. This is my most strongly held opinion on any issue in the world. Maryland had six classes for football last year as a "temporary" measure so that no one would be knocked out of the playoffs due to COVID cancellations, and of course it's now become permanent. There are like 30 schools per class. That's a region championship not a state championship. MA with eight classes for 275 teams is not much better. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngdawg Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Honestly, I'm not quite against the GHSA's decision here. Sure, it reduces costs and all that, but it also compacts the state in terms of football. Almost seems like the lower classifications are being stretched too thin at this point with more and more teams leaving the GHSA. Just like these next two years, I'm excited to see how these changes bring about new results. On an aside, I know this is my first post in a long time. I've just been caught up in the whirlwind of college and my high school football Instagram account (@gahsfootball), which was inspired by the talk here on these boards. I'll try and come back here more often, and I lowkey miss the discussions I had here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was a tough pill for the Viking faithful to swallow, but it's the truth: Lowndes lost their defensive identity. That historically has been their rallying cry, and it completely unraveled last season. Glad to see that people here read my articles!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even read it on the Lowndes viking nation facebook show. Good thing we got rid of them DC but got a lot of work to do before we got that defensive style and toughness back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to have to hope Grage sets a solid tone from the start. He needs to emphasize the defensive aspect of the game, and he somewhat had success with that at Thomasville. Only issue now is the 5-classification jump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
