March 26, 2012
With the winter season finished just two days ago, we can look forward to spring -- and also 2012-13 and how some MHSAA tournaments will look a little different in the coming school year.
Check out this link to our news release on classification changes, including a list of schools moving up or down in classes and also a list of schools newly-eligible to compete in MHSAA tournaments.
Keep in mind, schools may still opt to play up a class, and classes are used only for volleyball and boys and girls basketball. All other sports are split into equal divisions, and those lists also are available today.
