The decision to change how high school teams are classified in the four-class sports of basketball, baseball, softball and volleyball is … still to be decided.
The Indiana High School Athletic Association voted at its annual board of directors meeting Monday to table the vote on the four-class proposal until the June 22 executive committee meeting. The proposal would classify teams in those sports by set enrollment numbers instead of the current system of dividing the four classes evenly.
The Indiana Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association and the IHSAA submitted a joint proposal after the IIAAA had previously discussed adding a fifth class in the four-class sports due to a widening gap between the largest schools in 4A and the smallest (in the most-recent enrollment cycle there were 13 schools with an enrollment of 3,200 students and larger in 4A and 36 with a number less than 1,500).
