A subcommittee has recommended to the Ohio High School Athletic Association that a seventh division be added in football, addressing the large disparity in enrollments among the biggest schools in the state.
The proposal would divide Division I in half, with the top four teams from each region qualifying for the postseason playoffs, the association said Wednesday.
But officials said it was merely a proposal, and no timetable has been set for action on it. They added that even if it were accepted, it would not be implemented for the next few years.
The issue is the disparity in enrollment within Division I, where schools range from 524 boys to nearly 1,250. Other ranges are 365 to 523 in Division II, 257 to 364 in Division III, 187 to 256 in Division IV, 131 to 186 in Division V and 130 and under in Division VI.
In the Beacon Journal coverage area, Brunswick is the largest school at 961 boys. The smallest schools in Division I in the Beacon Journal area are Twinsburg at 528, Nordonia 553, Garfield 578, Massillon 578 and Green 593.
