How will the CTL & NEA reshape?

Here is the 2008-10 ranking of 1A enrollement numbers for schools in both the CTL & NEA. These numbers were finalized by the WIAA Executive Board on January 27, 2008.

Which schools will move up and which ones will move down from these two districts?

[Sean]

Here are the five (5) largest schools with 2B enrollement numbers for schools in both districts 6 and 7. These are the schools that are closest to moving up to 1A.

2B Classification Enrollment Range: 88 - 187

1. Colfax Bulldogs, 169.50, District 7 (18.5 under from moving up to 1A)
2. Liberty Bell Mountain Lions, 167.63, District 6 (20.37 under from moving up to 1A)
3. Northwest Christian Crusaders, 166.63, District 7 (21.37 under from moving up to 1A)
4. Oroville Hornets, 161.38, District 6 (26.62 under from moving up to 1A)
5. Reardan Indians, 159.25, District 7 (28.75 under from moving up to 1A)

[Sean]

Here are the five (5) smallest schools with 2A enrollement numbers for schools in both Districts 6 & 7. These are the schools that are closest to moving down to 1A.

2A Classification Enrollment Range: 468 - 918

1. Riverside Rams, 477.38, District 7 (9.38 over from moving down to 1A)
2. Quincy Jackrabbits, 520.00, District 6 (52 over from moving down to 1A)

5. Ephrata Tigers, 542.63, District 7 (74.63 over from moving down to 1A)

With all this in mind, how about this idea...

The NEW Caribou Trail League

Since the CTL/District 6 is the larger of the two leagues, they would mandate all rules and regulations concerning regional play.

North Central Division
Brewster, Cascade, Cashmere, Chelan, Lake Roosevelt, Okanogan, Omak and Tonasket.

Northeast Division
Chewelah, Freeman, Kettle Falls, Lakeside and Newport.

I would go to the WIAA rulebook and check it out there. If you still have questions, then send an e-mail to Jim Meyerhoff and I am sure he will answer all your questions. That is his department of expertise. I really don't know all the details either.
