I'll answer a couple of questions, based on what I am seeing.
Again, one thing to remember is we have no idea what this crew in Montgomery is going to do. How many they traditionally keep in each classification, travel restrictions, traditions regions, etc. could all be disrupted based on the new decision makers.
T.R. Miller is right on the cut line. They could end up being the smallest 4A or the largest 3A.
Same goes for Fyffe, they are right on the cut line between 3A/2A.
I think Colbert County stays 3A, Maplesville looks to for sure be going to 2A.
Bayside and Tuscaloosa Academy are moving up regardless based on competitive balance.
I also think they keep West Morgan in the northwest region. There are way too many teams in the northeast to add one more. I think WM ends up with LCHS, Mars Hill, Deshler, Wilson, Central and West Limestone in Region 7. |

Looks like they took it down. I get, "The page you are looking for is not found." Not sure what is up with it. Did you download it? What is Addison looking like? 1A or 2A? |

| I was hoping to see us trade some of those teams for Marion county and lynn to help with competition in the regular season. Hazlewood and Courtland used to be in there and that helped come playoff time. |

I believe that they took it down because the numbers are grossly inaccurate. The state is currently conducting an audit of all schools. Emails went out to all principles on 12-08-2025.

| I see on the AHSAA site there is a Board of Control meeting today. Could this be the reclassification meeting? |

Details are sketchy at this time, but it appears that there is an ongoing investigation.
Also, they will need time for possible litigation.

The Alabama High School Athletic Association is considering a proposal to separate public and private schools.
Under the potential model, independent schools would compete in their own league for postseason play.
The discussion follows growing tensions and formal concerns raised by private schools over policies they view as disproportionate.
A final decision on the reclassification structure could come at a rescheduled AHSAA meeting on January 23.
I think that would work out best. They could schedule each other in the regular season, but post season would be separate. It's hard for schools to compete with a school that can recruit. Mars Hill for instance had two D1 players in the backfield. One ran a 4.48 and other ran a 4.39 as was listed on their twitter. That is very uncommon at a public school to have that in one backfield. |

School enrollment numbers are out and everyone is getting their refresher courses in Excel today.
One thing to remember (and I have said this about many topics over the last 12 months) is we have no idea what the AHSAA will do.
A new executive director, new staff handling reclassification, controversy over private schools. This is an entirely new team handling reclassification this time, something none of them have ever been heavily involved in. I would not be surprised to see some corrections even after the supposed vote on the 15th/16th.
These are also subject to change based on how different private school enrollments are reported. They report their own so we don't have a concrete number for many of those schools.
After a first look through the numbers here is where things stand:
7A:
Hazel Green, Spain Park, Gadsden City and Buckhorn moving up to 7A.
6A:
Florence, Austin, Albertville and Hillcrest look to be moving down from 7A to 6A.
Faith Academy, Springville, and Russellville look like they will move up to 6A from 5A.
5A:
Moving down to 5A from 6A looks like Jackson-Olin, Shades Valley and Woodlawn.
Moving up to 5A from 4A is Good Hope, Brooks, Satsuma, and St. Michael.
4A:
Down to 4A looks to be Jacksonville, Andalusia, Montevallo and Corner.
Up to 4A from 3A looks like a host of Lauderdale County, Elkmont, Flomaton, Madison Academy, St. James, Geraldine and Childersburg.
3A-1A
There was a lot of moving and shaking in these but the biggest standouts look to be:
Handley, Jackson, Geneva, Hatton, Fayette County, Reeltown and Lanett headed to 3A.
2A & 1A did not seem to have any major moves that I can tell from first glance.
Reeltown and Jackson playoff matchup in 3A would be something to see. |

https://www.thecallnews.com/2025/12/29/compromise-needed-before-disaster-strikes-alabama-high-school-sports/
I can see the author's point of view, but he neglected to mention several other factors that give private schools distinct advantages.
First, Private schools absolutely recruit high caliper athletes at an astronomical rate. Yes, some public schools (Mainly city schools) recruit but our still restricted by zoning. Private schools have found multiple loopholes to counter the "Financial Aid" rules.
Second, private schools can absolutely control their enrollment numbers. If you remove the multiplier and competitive balance you would see 90% them in 1A and 2A. They would purposely mask their numbers so they could attempt to dominate the smaller schools. Because let's face it that's what this boils down to, they don't want to face the tougher competition.
Third, political influence. Make no mistake, the politicians that are medaling into (and for the most part causing) the current situation have a personal agenda. I would guess that the overwhelming majority of their children attend private schools and the want nothing more than to give themselves even more of an advantage.
The AHSAA loses very little by the private schools leaving. If they want their own special rules, then let them go play in their own playground.
