Who Is Switching Classes Next Cycle?

[Retro Hawk]

As far as small schools, I could see BGM and SE Warren going back to Class A. There are several schools like North Tama that could come down to 8-Man, but some don't want to.

Any official rumblings, or is it too early?

Heard of a couple teams going down to 8 man but just rumblings

Official BEDs aren't due for a few weeks. There will be a couple of schools who could go down, but I know some won't if there is a decent chance that they will be forced to go back.

I have heard that some small schools boardering bigger cities are growing in numbers fast and could change classes.

A great example is Alburnett, I have heard there has been a big jump in their numbers. They were Class A two years ago, 1A now, but possibly 2A in the next cycle? They have 18 sophs and 20 freshmen on thier football roster, those are big numbers for a 1A school.

I believe Alburnett is going from the Tri Rivers Conference to the River Valley, and it wouldn't surprise me if they ended up in the WaMaC eventually.

Kingsley-Pierson will have the potential to go back to 8 man as they are breaking off their sharing agreement with River Valley - so could have 2 more NWIA 8 man teams again (if RV could gather up enough dudes)

From what I know of River Valley, that could be a big "if". I would assume they wouldn't keep sharing for just football I'm also not sure they would head over to Ridge View either, that could bump them up to 2A
