Just got word Edmund Burke academy will be in Single A for the next cycle. Did not hear about any other moves. Not sure when the GIAA will put the new classes out.

Most interesting moves to me:
Southland and heritage drop to AA Piedmont moves to AAA 8-man has 2 8-team regions. EBA drops to A. Only 5 football playing schools Bulloch drops to AAA
These are observations at first glance. Haven’t really looked at other sports yet

only in the giaa, does it make sense to have a state champion crowned from 5 teams. and ckass 'a' likely will continue to play at mercer while the much larger and more competitive 8man division is stuck in nowheresville with the flag ship 2 weeks earlier. the giaa does not want the rest of the association schools to see the 8man championship

I believe the plan was to have a larger single A division but the mass exodus of ghsa privates didn't happen.

WW will be A. Everyone cannot have their giaa promises fulfilled......or can they? Piedmont to AAA after years in A is a Westwoodian jump. Who did they make mad?

16 8 man teams is a head scratcher. Who is coming in besides Sherwood?
HSP, Dominion, Westminster A, Westminster C DEA, Windsor, WW, JHA, Covenant, Crisp.
Grace, Sherwood, Twiggs
this is 13 teams. Who else is dropping down to 8 man, JMA?

Who else is dropping down to 8 man, JMA? Harvester, Fullington, and Memorial Day Also Windsor is not listed in the 8 man regions for football but has been moved to AA at least initially we’ll see if that stays. St. Mary’s also dropped to 8 man.

If you have 20 kids on the team and your playing 8 man football you should be ashamed of your self. EBA had 24 this year and won the AA. No excuse!

Two freshmen quit before the season started. Lost one lineman 3rd game of the season for a year. Like I said asshat 24. 8 man football is a joke if you have more than 20 on the team. Maxpreps said Westminster won the 8man championship with 27....I rest my case.

Actually 3 freshman and a junior quit also after the max prep roster went up.

I doubt Mercer nor GIAA wants the expense adding and removing field of play lines on turf???

giaa schools are mandated to update and maintain an accurate roster as well as game scores as the schedule plays out. if eba did not comply then oh well. as for painting 2 sideline lines that can easily be taken off is about desire and has little to do with anything else. the fact that the giaa does not have a roster regulation for 8man is a mystery but class 'a' is a joke and has been for several years. another season where a championship is decided between 5 teams paints the true picture. as for my hat getting a name, nice.
