This rule isn't working! I say this because Lincoln Christian has been in Class 3A since 2012. They have been to the semis or better the last 4 years in a row and have been at least to the quarters 8 out of the last 10 years. However, the rule states they can't be moved up more than 1 classification where ADM would put them. They have controlled their ADM that puts them consistently in the middle of 2A schools. However, I believe the rule states that the success factor of being in the top 8 has to be re-established before they can move up to 4A whenever they finally do have the numbers to move up to 3A? That means they are going to be in 3A forever. Holland Hall and Heritage Hall are within 15 or so kids from being in "real" 3A numbers and have had a bunch of success as well. With those 3 schools in 3A for the foreseeable future, it will take a pretty special public school team to beat them. Since 2014, 1 of those 3 schools have won it every year except in 2017 when John Marshall won it and Heritage won it in 4A and 2016 when Jones won it. In 2 years, we will be adding Casady to that mix too! Find the way to circumvent the rule and get after it is guess. You have to admire how private schools do it and have to hate how ineffective our governing body is?
