After delaying a couple of weeks MSHSAA released Class and District assignments for basketball today..
We knew there would be a few changes: with a new class being added, the rule about making sure the largest school in a class was not more than double the size of the smallest, and the way private schools are classified with a success multiplier. But, all that being said, not a lot of huge surprises. Branson is Class 6. Forsyth, Hollister, and Reeds Spring are all in the same Class, however, they are not all in the same district. Blue Eye was going to be close, but they stayed Class 2. School of the Ozarks, if they play, will be Class 1.
Here is a look at how the assignments look for our area teams.
