FHSAA Announces New Football Districts – Big Changes For Tate, Catholic
December 22, 2012
Friday, Florida High School Athletic Association released tentative football classifications and districts for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years.
The proposed classifications mean a big change for Tate, big miles for Catholic and the same big dreams of a state championship for Northview.
Four schools — Tate, Crestview, Navarre and Niceville — will form a new District 1-7A. The six other big schools in the area — Escambia, Milton, Pace, Pensacola, Pine Forest and Washington — will remain in 6A.
A growing Catholic High will have some serious road trips with a move to 1-3A, a district that includes only schools in the Jacksonville area. The Crusaders can appeal to move up to 4A with schools in Tallahassee, Marianna and DeFuniak Springs. Or Catholic can appeal to jump into 1-5A with West Florida, Gulf Breeze and three Panama City area schools.
Meanwhile, District 1-1A remains the same for the next couple of years, with the state champion Northview Chiefs, Jay, Baker and Freeport.
The district announcements won’t become final until after a January 18 appeals deadline passes.

So catholic now has to play schools double their size..oh well Im sure they will keep winning.
What is going on with Jay’s football program? It just doesn’t seem like we’re getting any better the last couple of years. I don’t know much about football but I know enough to know we are not winning games we should win and it seems like the kids practice all year long. I guess at least they’re having fun, bless their hearts.
Guess the good folks who make up the FHSAA never studied a map of Florida while they were in school????????????????
Somebody please give the FHSAA a call they must not realize Catholic is in Pensacola and not in Jacksonville 350 miles away!! Are you serious!
I say Northview will repeat. State Champs again Next year.
