The Ohio High School Athletic Association has announced new divisional assignments for the upcoming fall sports of football, soccer and volleyball. Details were sent to member schools Thursday following action taken by the OHSAA Board of Directors during their April meeting Wednesday.
The Board also approved new regional assignments for football. The new divisions and regions are posted at the link below.
No divisional changes will occur for the fall sports of golf, cross country, girls tennis and field hockey (one division), as those sports are not affected by the OHSAA’s competitive balance process. The upcoming 2020-21 school year will be the second year of the two-year cycle using base enrollment numbers provided by the Ohio Department of Education in October 2018. A new two-year cycle of base enrollment numbers will begin with the 2021-22 school year.
The only changes seen among area schools for football, involve Chillicothe and Unioto. The Cavaliers will drop to Division 3 after being D-2 last fall. Unioto goes from Division 3 to D-4.
