I'm curious if things would change much if Bloomfield were to beat Hartington-Newcastle?

What's the rush? Everyone's schedules are already set. Districts are in February. Practice is a month away.

I do totally understand why people want to know. I just find it interesting that some get bent out of shape waiting for it to be released, just like they do for district assignments...even though their schedule won't change after they're released.

District assignments should be made long before the season starts. Districts are the ONLY games that matter in basketball prior to the state tournament. If I have Wahoo in my district I want to know so I can prepare for the 1-3-1 starting in the summer time.

It will all be settled this week but man what a log jam from A&M to Palmer......5 teams for 2 maybe 3 spots.

Also, what happens if Howells beats Archangel?

Click to expand...

If Howells beats Arch Angels, they end up with 44.375 and would be the #1 overall seed unless A-M beats Palmer and May Hay beats Bertrand then the winner of Loomis and Overton would be the #1 overall seed. Arch Angels would have 43.375 and be #5 overall and #3 in the East if they lost to H-D.... I think

Loomis and Overton have the same schedule except 1 non district team, their points will be very similar and seeds for whoever wins or loses. Cambridge, A-M, and MHC all can change both of their points up or down also. You can flip them back and forth for whoever you think will win.

I have Fullerton finishing with 39.125 and being the #21 overall seed and #12 in the east.

It will all be settled this week but man what a log jam from A&M to Palmer......5 teams for 2 maybe 3 spots.

I think you are missing fullerton, unless they are ineligible?

Kinda a tough bracket to predict with many 8 week games that could go either way.

You are correct, I forgot Fullerton. That will change a few things around.

Yes, I agree. Huge point swings too. I was just thinking man there are some bold predictions on toss up games here.

What does this look like with an Overton win? They'd be overall #1 correct?

Oh boy, I think you're right about the A&M vs Palmer game.......that is a big game for the bracket depending on which side CV goes. However, I think Cambridge bounces back and their defense and quietly good freshman quarterback go to Hitchcock and pull out a win.

Found the district assignments for the first NSAA playoffs, held in 1975. Classifications were based on male enrollment on the sixth day of the school year. Those male enrollments are in parentheses. Class A was the largest 32 schools. The next 64 largest were Class B, the next 64 were C1, the next 64 were C2, the remainder of 11-man playing schools were Class D, and all 8-man schools were in Eight-Man class.

That has nothing to do with 2024-2025 activities enrollment.

The October 1 enrollment count for 2024 will be used for 2025-2026 activities.
