The proposal Cranston will pitch would put schools with an enrollment of 425 in grades 9-12 in the top division, or Class A. That would put 18 schools in the top division, if private schools Fargo Shanley and Bismarck St. Mary's opt to stay. The middle division, or Class B, would be enrollments of 150-424 and all the private schools, regardless of their enrollment. It would be about 24-30 schools. That would leave about 83 schools in Class C, with enrollments of 149 or fewer. Any school could opt to compete in a higher class.
IMO
you'd really see potential co-ops fizz and current ones if still under trial stage go back to the way it was....changing some of this adding to the 83 taking away from the 24-30.....

Have him check out the class B's at the Barnett Center in Aberdeen this weekend... packed every year, great atmosphere!
State A's in Rapid City filled, the only one that struggles is the AA's, but that should be well attended in Sioux Falls this year with 4 Sioux Falls schools making it in.
They have all three tournaments going on this same weekend, South Dakota Public Broadcasting streams all games also I believe, and still all are well attended! Not to mention NCAA tourney starts this weekend too.

Have heard this many times. Doesn't SD also split up their tournaments and keep the same tournaments in the same towns every year? Seems smart to me.
