New High School Football Classifications Announced; Tate Moves Up
December 15, 2018
The Florida High School Athletic Association has announced new football classifications for the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
The big local change is in Class 6A with the three teams changing classes. Tate and Navarre move up to District 1-7A with Crestview, Chiles, Niceville, Leon and Lincoln.
Pine Forest will move down from 6A to District 1-5A with West Florida, Pensacola High, Arnold, Bay and Choctaw.
District 1-6A will still include Escambia, Washington, Pace, Gulf Breeze and Milton, with the addition of Mosley and Fort Walton Beach.
Northview and Jay will remain in the rural Class 1A with Baker, Chilpley, Cottondale, Freeport, Graceville, Holmes County and Vernon.
Pensacola Catholic remains in Class 3A.
Classifications were based solely on student enrollment, then geography. If a school disagrees with the classifications, they can become an independent for the two year classification cycle.
