I thought the same, which is why they joined the Eastern Midlands Conference instead of the HAC
Very well maybe their goal. The cutoff is 425. For 25/26 Lincoln Northwest is at 431. Lincoln Standing Bear is at 339. Certainly looks like Northwest will be above the 425.

I hope for both Standing Bear and Lincoln Northwest they are able to stay in class B for another cycle while they continue working to get their program off the ground and running. Class A has some winnable games at the bottom end, but always difficult to compete when you are one of the smaller programs in a class.

Yep. Mount Michael, DC West, Ashland-Greenwood, and Omaha Concordia are the next likely to grow to B. Maybe someday Lakeview, Adam's Central, or Wahoo. It's just so hard for any non metro school to have sustained growth. Of course always have the Aurora, Gross, Roncalli, types that teeter back and forth. Also years away but maybe Louisville, Fort Calhoun, or Lincoln Christian at some point too.
Mount Michael is opting down to C1 I believe. They are already big enough for Class B

I thought the intent of Standing Bear and LNW was to always keep those schools at Class B level?

They built small to get the bond through, but once the demand is there, the buildings can expand to Class A size. Lincoln Northwest is already at 1,050, which is 50 students over the 1,000 capacity.

Here is the numbers per grade for each school

Northwest
9 - 238
10 - 328
11 - 261
12 - 190
Total - 1,017

Standing Bear
9 - 258
10 - 266
11 - 107
12 - 0
Total - 631

Any update on Norris? The longer the job stays open, the more it seems like they are having a hard time filling it with who they want. It’s technically been open since late December

WAYNE is close to moving into class B, they don't have the talent to compete in football at that class imo. just not enough athletes to compete at that level.
Seems like it would be a conflict of interests for a HS football ref to be judging what level a team can compete at.
