Waite reassigned
The Ohio High School Athletic Association announced that due to a miscommunication of enrollment numbers provided by Toledo Public Schools, two member schools – Waite and Woodward – have been reassigned to new football regions relative to the computer points used to determine tournament participants.
Both schools moved up a division, with Waite moving from Division III to Division II (Region 6), and Woodward moving from Division IV to Division III (Region 10).
The two regional reassignments are effective immediately and will be reflective in the next computer rating report that was released Oct. 12. The two moves not only affect those two schools and their tournament region, but also will slightly increase the points awarded to the schools that defeated them earlier this season.
“Mid-season moves are rare and have a ripple effect, but once we determined that an error had occurred, we needed to make the correction to ensure that the computer points were being properly awarded,” said OHSAA Assistant Commissioner Henry Zaborniak, the association’s administrator for football. “Because of the closing, consolidating and opening of schools around the state, we have had more adjustments mid-cycle this year than ever before.”
Of note, every two years the OHSAA uses enrollment data provided by the Ohio Department of Education to determine the divisional lines in all sports. Changes can occur mid-cycle, however, if schools close or consolidate or new schools open, in which case the new enrollment numbers are provided by the school district. The 2010-11 school year is the second year of a two-year cycle.
Due to this new enrollment recalculation of the Toledo Public Schools, each of its schools received an enrollment increase, but only Waite and Woodward had their new enrollment number result in a change of football division. No changes will occur in any other fall sports, but could be forthcoming in winter or spring sports.
Basketball tryouts
Genoa Christian Community Academy’s basketball team invites any players, including home-schooled athletes or those who do not attend a school with basketball, to try out for its fifth season. Open to all middle and high school-aged boys. GCCA is located in the former Genoa Middle School/High School building on Route 163.
