Interesting reading for sure.
Do we have any idea when the realignment will be released?

The realignment plan is definitely not accurate. Lucy Beckham, I believe will start at 3A. 5A has been announced by the SCHSL as between 36-44 schools. I expect 40. 1A will be the largest (around 52 schools) as some schools do not offer football but they are not listed here. Also, 1A sports receive the least revenue and thus have more reason for their travel expense to be a consideration.

I had the same thought about Lucy Beckham.
Whatever the committee decides is going to be wrong in the eyes of about 5 school's fan bases.

I did a quick check,, the preliminary numbers that are listed seem to be correct. I just don't know about the re-alignment plan. Also, with Lucy Beckham opening at the start of the realingment cycle, would they possibly put them 5A since they will have 5A numbers their second year? I dont have a clue which way they will go. I dont know if that would even be possible because of football contracts being signed for 2 years, but they would certainly be the largest 3A school their 2nd year.

I was talking with another coach and they think that LB will be put in 5A but only have JV teams to start with.

I am pretty sure Lucy Beckham to 3A is a done deal. Their projected enrollment numbers have already been submitted to the SCHSL. You cannot project their numbers based on attendance zone initially, as the seniors will at Wando (I believe the Juniors as well) and some underclassman with sibling ties.

Also, Phillip Simmons will almost certainly move beyond 2A.

Alister is correct, there will be some gnashing of teeth.

Have they named an AD yet? If 5A caps at 40, that would put Dutch Fork as the smallest 5A at 1287. I would imagine that LB would still be below that number during their second year anyway.

This is interesting. There will be a lot of fixing because some of these regions are going to be a lot travel wise for a school.
