Discussion of new performance-based classification model making headwaves

Bottom five schools in each GHSA class drop while top five move up one class to level field

THOMASTON — Educators from across Georgia gathered at the GHSA offices Friday morning to discuss an objective that would seem difficult to oppose — arranging the association’s seven classifications to ensure competitiveness for all of its member schools.

Good luck to the 18 members of the reclassification committee, which is taking on the GHSA’s most substantive change in perhaps a generation and possibly longer as it considers moving from a classification model based on enrollment size to one that is determined by on-field performance. Among other facets, it is seen as an equitable way to include private schools, many of which were sequestered into private-only state playoffs in the current model.
