FHSAA Approves New Rural Division With Northview, Jay; Tate In 1-6A

January 29, 2011

It’s official — the  Florida High School Athletic Association’s new Rural Division, the new 1A, has been approved with small schools like Northview and Jay.

Football maintained its eight-class structure, with the lowest two classifications designated and renamed as 2A (Urban) and 1A (Rural). That means classes will now be from 1A to 8A; schools such as Tate would remain in a class 1-4A will actually be in a renamed 1-6A class.

Baseball, basketball, softball and girls volleyball increased to eight classifications, with the lowest two classifications designated as 2A (Urban) and 1A (Rural).

The new Class1A (Rural) includes 36 schools for football, with District 1 comprised of Northview, Jay, Freeport and Baker. In boys basketball, girls basketball, softball and baseball, Northview and Jay will join Baker, Chipley, Freeport and Holmes County (Bonifay) in 2-1A Rural. For girls volleyball, 1-1A will include Northview, Jay, Laurel Hills, Central and Baker.

Class 1-6A, the former 1-4A, will include Tate, Escambia, Milton, Pace, Pensacola, Pine Forest and Washington. For boys basketball, girls basketball, softball, baseball, and volleyball,  District 1-6A will be made up of Tate, Escambia, Milton, Navarre, Pace, Pensacola, Pine Forest and Washington

The complete new Florida High School Athletic Association districts for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years are available by clicking the sport name below:
