An error was made and they weren't allowed to recorrect the error.
The over reported student enrollment by 11 students.

Don't blame them especially if what I read was accurate and AHSAA allowed about 5 schools to resubmit numbers last classification.

Could it have been a procedural error? Did Scottsboro dispute this within a specific time frame? I have no dog in this race. I am just trying to see both sides.

From Scottsboro's side (and this has been confirmed with several ADs and administrators), the AHSAA sent the preliminary numbers to the schools a week before the reclassification to verify that they were correct. Scottsboro is saying they showed the discrepancy and that 11 kids were counted twice--and were told, in essence, that it didn't really matter, the numbers were the numbers and that was that. I have no idea beyond that, but if that's true, the AHSAA really messed up.

Wow. I wonder how that will affect the regions in 4A, which already have 8 teams each. Will they drop someone else down to 3A or go with a 9 team region?

I cant believe they moved Douglas too. Now the 5A6 teams have a hole in their schedule they probably cant fil without playing another region opponent a second time, finding a team in a 7 or 9 team region on bye, or going out of state.

9 team region it looks like. Won't help a ton for those 5A teams but the 4A R8 teams will now have to drop a non region game. So its limited but there are a few available spots. For us (Brewer) I'm assuming we'll have to drop either Ardmore or West Limestone to fit Scottsboro in.

But what a blunder by the AHSAA. Harmon's statement makes it look like they're blaming Scottsboro yet they delayed the new classifications release by several weeks to get it right and still got it wrong.
