The state of Ohio preliminary enrollment numbers (
https://www.ohsaa.org/school-resources/ ... enrollment) for 2022 are out but they do not include the competitive balance #'s, I believe those numbers come out in May/June of this year. These numbers are for boys only grade 9 thru 11 and are typically used for two years for school enrollment numbers. Here is the old cutoff numbers for football Division V, VI & VII which were used in 2018-2021:
* D5: 163 - 208
* D6: 122 - 162
* D7: 121 and below
Here are the OHC School (2018 Enrollment + Competitive Balance #), Current Enrollment
Greenon: (169+5), 191
Greeneview: (155+3), 159
Madison Plains: (167+2), 152
Springfield NE: (129+3), 150
West Jefferson: (152+9), 148
West Liberty-Salem: (152+18), 142
Fairbanks: (137+4), 140
Triad: (138+3), 111
Mechanicsburg: (123+5), 94
Southeastern: (97+9), 79
Cedarville: (81+0), 74
Springfield CC: (47+15), 51
Here is a best guess for 2022 and 2023 divisions assuming the Competitive Balance #'s for each school remain about the same as 2021:
* D5 - Greenon
* D5/D6 - Greeneview, WLS
* D6 - Madison Plains, Springfield NE, WJ, Fairbanks
* D7 - Triad, Mechanicsburg, Southeastern, Cedarville, Springfield CC
Just looking at the numbers, a couple of thoughts:
* Greenon & Greeneview - Twice the size of the everyone else in the OHC South excluding a rebuilding MP
* Mechanicsburg has a 30% drop in #'s. Gets away from Coldwater but will now have to contend with Marion Local in D7.
* How does Cedarville & Southeastern do it/maintain football with such little numbers
* Springfield CC has a good class of juniors to be (I believe) but what happens in two years after they leave?
