The Maine Directors Association held its annual spring business meeting on Wednesday, and members approved a series of ranking adjustments in the best school sports for the next two school years.
Football will go through the maximum dramatic replenishment. Not only are 26 schools expected to play eight-player football, compared to 10 in the inaugural 2019 season, but for the first time, schools can apply to play with less enrollment elegance for protection reasons and remain eligible for playoffs. . Previously, and in all other GPA sports, if one team played “less” in elegance, it was not eligible for the playoffs. The repositioning was intended to take a position for the 2020 season, but the shot of football was not positioned due to the pandemic.
“We are a concept to allow schools to adapt for protection reasons,” said Mike Bisson, executive director of the MPA, noting that schools had to justify replacement and be approved by the MPA Football Commission.
Seven have been approved to play with a declining football elegance in 2021. Westbrook/Waynflete, Hampden Academy and Gardiner will move from Class B to Class C, and Gardiner will move north south; Freeport, Poland and John Bapst will move from Class C to Class D to a single region; and Houlton/Hodgdon will be allowed to move from football to giant eighth to smallArray league
All of these settings are approved for the fall version of football.
“Know that we will continue to paint to offer a football season, however, while we are sitting today, it is the biggest threat and has not given the green tone for the fall season,” Burnham told AMP members at the meeting.
Other notables that will emerge from the assembly include:
Due to the fall in enrollment, Cony will move from Class A to Class B and Maine Central Institute from Class B to C, acrossfield, box hockey, golf, football, baseball, softball and tennis. Cony went from 673 to 630 students. . MCI went from 433 to 334.
An ad hoc committee will be formed to examine the basketball rankings, representing each league, associations of coaches and sports directors, and tournament site directors, to present to the basketball committee whether the game remains in five categories, return to 4 categories or in all likelihood raise a sixth class.
Basketball has replaced their enrollment break number, but several schools will move out due to enrollment replacement. With 31 more students, Hampden Academy will head to AA North. Freeport from Class B to Class A, while York and Medomak Valley will move from Class A to Class B.
