SCHSL takes up realignment plan
Chris Dearing, The State

Schools would be divided into five classes for football

Many high school athletics directors and football coaches across the state believe the current system of crowning seven state champions in football cheapens the accomplishment.

The South Carolina High School League’s Executive Committee formulated a plan in December that proposes a new five-class system that would have 40 teams in each classification for football only. The remaining sports would remain in the current four-class system and award four state championships while football would award five.
