Ohio Side Division and Region Breakdown

[bigreds1980]

Does anyone know what divisions and regions our Ohio Side football teams will be playing in 2025? Competitive balance is the key. They change some schools classification depending on the results.

Wow, St. C at D5? Are enrollment numbers dropping that much or just a year or two aberration for St. C?

It's been well known Ferry and Bellaire would be bouncing between 5 and 6 for years to come.

Wouldn't be shocked they are up to D 5 once final numbers get sorted out.

St.C's base enrollment number didn't change...nobody's did this year. They're still using the EMIS numbers from October of 2023. This is the second year.
However, CB numbers DID change (they can change every year). Consequently the cutoffs for each division can change. St.C and Ferry both dropped a division (tentatively) because their CB numbers dropped. Bellaire stayed in D5 because their CB# actually went up. We'll see for sure when the final division assignments are announced on April 25th.

If St C is in D5 there had to be a concerted effort to keep enrollment down.

No school wants lower enrollment...the real world is bigger than high school football

All the division changes this year were based solely on CB numbers.
