Schools in Michigan compete in post-season tournaments based on what class they are placed in based on enrollment numbers. Here is how the MHSAA determines those classes:
Effective with the 2017-18 school year, schools with 881 or more students are in Class A in MHSAA postseason tournament competition. The enrollment limits for Class B are 406-880; Class C is 204-405; and schools with enrollments of 203 and fewer are Class D. The break between Classes A and B is the same as for 2016-17, the break between Classes B and C decreased six students, and the break between Classes C and D is three students fewer than the current school year.
On the basis of those numbers a few area schools will see themselves playing a different class for the 2017-18 school year.
– Parma Western will move down from Class A to Class B
– Michigan Center will move up from Class C to Class B
– Jonesville will move up from Class C to Class B
