New LHSAA Classifications

I saw this shared on the boys side, and thought it would be worth putting over here too.

This can't be right, can it? It shows SSA as Division II for girls soccer!

I believe that SSA always elects to play up a division for soccer.

[soccerbr]

I said this on the boys side - Praireiville High should be D1 next year - will be interesting to see how it affects Dutchtown & St. Amant.

[upper90]

Changes that I see:

Division I:
East Jefferson (II to I)
Huntington (II to I)
Terrebonne (II to I)

Division II:
Central Lafourche (I to II)

New Iberia (I to II)

Pineville (I to II)

Southwood (I to II)

St. Scholastica (I to II) *** will probably elect to stay in DI
Broadmoor (III to II)
Pearl River (III to II)
Tara (III to II)
The Willow School (III to II)

Division III:
David Thibodaux (II to III)
Eleanor McMain (II to III)
Franklin Parish (II to III)
Minden (II to III)
Opelousas (II to III)
Plaquemine (II to III)
Acadiana Renaissance Charter (IV to III)

Division IV:
Ursuline Academy (III to IV)

** note that I'm less familiar with the girls side, so this was just a quick glance. Also, since SSA will likely move up, it will change some of the layouts, so when/if that happens, I'll reflect it here.

Correct, however they are allowing any upperclassmen to choose to stay at their own school, so I think the higher grades will take a few years to be at full capacity.
And it looks like expected student enrollment is as follows:
Dutchtown 1877
E Ascension 1919
Prairieville High 1774
St Amant 1803
