James Island Charter HS (Change from Class AAAAA to Class AAAA)

WHY?!?! Why would a school ranked 16th in enrollment waste time trying to go down to 4A?

I cut 5A down to 52 teams just to see what it looked like. Dropped #54 Catawba and #48 Lugoff Elgin for scheduling purposes only. 7 Regions at 8-8-8-8-8-6-6 Region 1 TL Hanna Woodmont Greenville Hillcrest Mauldin JL Mann Easley Greenwood Region 2 Wade Hampton Boiling Springs Riverside Eastside James...

My opinion.....5A Regions This cuts down on uneven regions (8-8-7-6-6-7-6-6) and maintains more natural rivals for Greenwood and West Florence.

Going to be interesting to see how the Spring Hill (849) numbers effect Chapin (1232) and Dutch Fork (1356).

I think they didn't post the final numbers so no one would find out how they manipulated their guidelines. They had 7 or 8 teams with 4A numbers playing in 5A, and teams with 5A numbers playing in 4A. Blame Horry County Schools ---> Carolina Forest If Horry County would adjust their attendance line...
