DrunkOffPunch Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Don't think so. Huh. Just thought by now all the students would be Laurel students. Quote Link to comment
HSKR Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 BTW, here are the enrollment numbers for next year. https://nsaahome.org.../1415enroll.pdf and classifications for football https://nsaahome.org...fbl/fbclass.pdf South Sioux is now up to class A. Benson has dropped to B. Elkhorn South isn't far from moving up to A meaning North Platte and Columbus (who has been going back and forth between A and B) will be struggling to hold on to those last spots in A. Gretna will likely be moving to A in a few more years as well with the growth in the area. Although there are a few schools in A and B, this issue is primarily focused on that C and D schools as that is where you find the majority of them. I know some years you can see six or seven private schools ranked in the top 10 in either football or basketball and they probably make up less then 25% of the schools in that class. As for the issue itself, I'd say the the Senator from Wilbur is a wuss. When I was in high school we loved playing the bigger school or Catholic school. It was that much bigger of a win when you took them out. From everything I have hear regarding this situation the school district is very close to building a 3rd Elkhorn high school to make sure that both current schools stay in class B. Not entirely sure on dates of when it would/could happen but this is what I've heard. http://www.omaha.com.../NEWS/131229363 This makes it sound like they will make Elkhorn South larger and build a third high school eventually. I simply don't see a way the two current high schools or even a future one will ever stay B schools. Way too much growth. Same for Gretna. North Platte probably has the worst travel in the state being a class A team. Kearney and Grand Island are the "close" A schools. After that, Lincoln. Them dropping to B may not be all that bad of a thing. Quote Link to comment
