Possible conference shakeup?

Capitol Conference in 2023-2024
Arlington
Ashland-Greenwood
Conestoga
Douglas County West
Fort Calhoun
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder
Louisville
Raymond Central
Syracuse
Yutan

East Central Nebraska Conference
Auburn

Could Palmyra be the 10th team to join the Capitol? Seems like they want to stay at 10. That ECNC is all over the place.

 

[Sean Callahan]

I think SSC would love to be in a different league, they just don't have any other options at the moment.

In a perfect world, they would be in a league with the Sioux City, Iowa schools.

 

[Sean Callahan]

At this point the RCC should take in Omaha Concordia. Concordia played nearly all the RCC schools except Skutt this year.

Skutt
Gross
Roncalli
Concordia
Mt. Michael
Omaha Deschene
Omaha Mercy

If I remember right, they did not want to join? It was for sure something talked about.

 

[mgbreis]

Not sure schools like Wahoo, Platteview and AG fit that though because I can see those schools growing.

I see what you're saying about growing schools vs schools that aren't growing, but for example I think Beatrice is still a lot bigger enrollment wise than Wahoo, AG etc. Maybe double the enrollment of Wahoo?

Beatrice is a tough fit They will never get to A and will be 20 years from C1 I dont see them growing

 

[mgbreis]

Beatrice is a tough fit They will never get to A and will be 20 years from C1 I dont see them growing

So not a tough fit... they're a perfect fit for Class B? Not growing but not shrinking that I'm aware of.

 

[northeastNebraska]

If I remember right, they did not want to join? It was for sure something talked about.

I think they will reconsider if their enrollment continues to grow. They can play RCC schools and still schedule Centennial teams like Neumann, Lincoln Christian, Lincoln Lutheran, Bergan, etc.

 

[neksu]

Beatrice should be in the Eastern Midlands Conference.

 

[mgbreis]

Beatrice should be in the Eastern Midlands Conference.

I don't know any of the inside on the creation of the Trailblazer but I think Beatrice played a big part in getting those schools together. The EMC is really good conference but I also really like the Trailblazer as a good group of schools.

 

[kaz36]

Beatrice should be in the Eastern Midlands Conference.

I’m not really sure that Beatrice fits in with the EMC. They could be competitive, but pretty much every school in that conference(minus maybe Blair) is a bedroom community of either Lincoln or Omaha and are growing a lot faster than Beatrice is.

 

[hailvictors2]

The Trailblazer Conference is an interesting collection of schools. When expansion is complete (2023-2024 school year) it will have 8 schools. The original 6 schools were a collection of 2 schools from 3 different conferences.
River Cities- Beatrice and Ralston
Eastern Midlands- Nebraska City and Plattsmouth
Capitol- Platteview and Wahoo.
Ashland-Greenwood makes a 3rd Capitol Conf school. Malcolm is a member of the East Central Nebraska Conf.

The enrollment gap from top to bottom is pretty significant based on 2021-2022 numbers

https://nsaa-static.s3.amazonaws.com/textfile/about/2122enroll.pdf

Ralston- 707
Beatrice- 490
Plattsmouth- 350
Nebraska City- 314
Platteview- 300
Wahoo- 255
Ashland-Greenwood- 226
Malcom- 154

The travel isn't that bad. Guessing here, but the longest trips are probably as follows
Ralston-Malcolm, something like 55 miles
Nebraska City-Malcolm- 65ish miles
Nebraska City- Wahoo- 75ish miles
Beatrice- Wahoo- 75ish miles

Malcolm's enrollment is currently at its capacity without passing a bond. I don't know how likely it is that Malcolm passes a bond because a decent chunk of the enrollment is option students. Does the community of Malcolm want to pay for a school for students to attend that are not contributing to the bond. Thats rhetorical. Ashland-Greenwood, Wahoo, and Platteview are growing. That makes 3 of the 4 bottom enrollment numbers in the conference trending in the right direction to close the enrollment gap.

 

[TC53]

The geographic footprint is small and the four smallest schools are the ones that will be growing. They looked at least one more bigger school to fit with Ralston and Beatrice but decided instead to go with small growers. It will be interesting to see how the Malcolm move works out for both parties, but Wahoo and A-G will be great fits as they grow. Platteview is interesting because I would have thought they saw themselves as Eastern Midlands material (remember they were there once) but they obviously see A-G and Wahoo more as peers than Bennington and Norris.

The old Eastern Midlands of Blair, Elkhorn, Gretna, Platteview, Plattsmouth, Nebraska City, Norris, and Waverly. Gretna has since gone to the Metro. Platteview to the Capitol, then the Trailblazer. Nebraska City to the Trailblazer. Plattsmouth to the Trailblazer. That leaves the EMC with Blair, Elkhorn, Waverly, and Norris plus the two additions of Elkhorn North and Bennington. What is the plan for Gretna East? Are they going to be Metro? When they open will both Gretna and Gretna East go to the EMC?

 

[TC53]

As far as I can tell there has been nothing said about Gretna/GEast conference intentions. Has anyone heard anything?

Don't forget Lincoln (Air Park) Northwest is in the EMC this fall and Standing Bear is already in for fall 2023.

Forgot about that. That will be 1 this coming fall, then the second the next year.

 

[TC53]

Hastings will join the Eastern Midlands in fall 2023. (This took a long time and a couple of times I thought it was falling apart.)

Lincoln Northwest joins the EMC this fall (2022).

Lincoln Standing Bear will join the EMC with Hastings in 2023.

That will make the EMC a 9-school league unless Elkhorn North outgrows it before that.

Wow. Hastings in the Eastern Midlands...did not think I'd see that happen. Was the Central ever in consideration? Or is Hastings High "too big" for that conference?

They would be a natural fit for the HAC if their enrollment was consistently Class A. That leaves the GNAC down to four schools, with McCook half in, half out with the Southwest Conference.

I am still shocked Hastings voted to play Class B football and be playoff ineligible for the next two years. Just seems like a tough sell to kids to say "we don't think we are good enough so we are going to play down and not have a chance to play for anything the next two years" in terms of the playoffs. I don't know enough about their talent and numbers though, so I'm sure they had good reasons.

Not surprised by the move, they have been in Class B since 1994. I don't think they wanted to go up for two years then come right back down again. South Sioux has done the same thing. I do feel bad for the kids though, they don't have a lot to play for when they know they have a for sure end date on their season.

Will there be a release from HPS soon?

Will the Trailblazer stay at 8? Seems like a good grouping, not sure who else they would add.

[TC53]

I would assume this will hit the press late in the week.

The Central never showed any interest in Hastings (when the previous AD made overtures), and, other than that AD, there was never much Hastings interest in the Central. Geographic fit but not much else. I think both sides feel that way.

Eastern Midlands made an invite to Hastings during the initial Trailblazer start-up (which started this thread). EMC was pretty proactive, realizing that demographic forces were going to make the historically stable conference shrink quickly. Hastings pursued an invitation to Trailblazer instead, same travel issues but better demographic fit keyed that decision. The Trailblazer looked like a great fit and I think Beatrice and Ralston were all for it. Other schools, I believe particularly Nebraska City and Plattsmouth balked because of travel and size issues. When that application was rejected, Hastings turned back to the EMC.

It first looked like this would happen a year ago and the Tigers would join when Lincoln Northwest did. Then things cooled. I thought it might be done. But, the wheels kept moving slowly. As I understand it, it was finalized yesterday.

The Class B football decision was made very quickly with the coach and AD being in lockstep. I never heard much wide discussion of any other option. There has not been much second-guessing locally, but that might change in the fall. They actually think they have a nice group for the next two years. But, I have not seen any evidence that playing in Class A was seriously considered. Until the very last, they thought that a thorough book-keeping of attendance numbers would get them under the Class A number. It fell short.

I've also seen no local media questioning of the football decision.

I don't know enough about their talent and numbers though, so I'm sure they had good reasons.

Seems a more likely way of gutting a program than to take your lumps in your assigned class. Basically makes your sport be on the level of a club, or intramural. But, I don't think it should even be allowed, so what do I know?

 

[3_peat]

I just saw Malcolm is going to be playing C2 football. Quite interesting to be playing some of the biggest C1 and small B schools when you have 1/2 or less of the enrollment.

Sounds like a little bit of drama in this move.

 

[Alum-Ni]

So..............July 1 has come and went, and with that conference changes for the 2022-23 school year have now taken place.

To the best of my knowledge, the moves that took place are:

- Holdrege has left the Central Conference for the Southwest Conference

- Malcolm has left the East Central Nebraska Conference for the Trailblazer Conference

- Lincoln Northwest has joined the Eastern Midlands Conference

- Omaha Buena Vista and Omaha Westview have joined the Metro Conference

===================================

Effective July 1, 2023 to take effect beginning with the 2023-24 school year:

- Lincoln Standing Bear will join the Eastern Midlands Conference

- Giltner will leave the Crossroads Conference for the Twin Valley Conference

- Hastings appears to be leaving Greater Nebraska Athletic Conference for the Eastern Midlands Conference (I don't believe this has been formally approved yet)

- Gretna East will open, and I assume will be joining the Metro Conference

- Ashland-Greenwood will leave the Capitol Conference for the Trailblazer Conference

Thanks Alum.

Has anyone heard if Exeter-Milligan and Friend will be co-oping all sports and joining Mudecas/Pioneers?

 

[Alum-Ni]

Pospisil: Gretna East will be part of Metro Conference next season

Gretna East will belong to the Metro Conference after all when it opens next year becoming the league’s 22nd school.

omaha.com

Gretna East will be in the Metro Conference when it opens in the fall of 2023. The school district had considered placing Gretna East in the Eastern Midlands Conference but changed course and Gretna East will join Gretna in the Metro as the league's 22nd school. Both schools are likely to be Class B next year but are in a high growth area.

The Eastern Midlands will expand, however, to nine schools. Lincoln Standing Bear will join when it opens next fall and Hastings will also join, becoming the league's westernmost member.

===============================

There are also some proposals to change the cutoffs in Classes A and B at the January legislative meetings. The proposals would raise the cutoffs from 425 boys to 500 for football and from 850 students to 1,000 students in all other activities for Class A.

Another proposal will be to expand the use of the shot clock to Class B in basketball and to raise the enrollment limit for 8-man football playoff eligibility from 47 boys to 55.

I believe they are still considering a new conference though. There was an invite to schools in both conferences about the proposal and a meeting followed that about a month ago.

 

[northeastNebraska]

It will never happen, but West Point-Beemer and GACC need to flip conference affiliations with how the East Husker Conference is shrinking. WPB is the largest school by far. They have 20 more boys than North Bend using boys hoops classifications.

Speaking of North Bend, do they fit in the EHC anymore? They are the furthest south school and second biggest when it comes to enrollment. Would they be a better fit in the Capitol? The Capitol could use a 10th team. If Logan View fits in the Capitol, North Bend does for sure. I never thought LV would leave the East Husker, but they did.
