The Georgia

High School Association has been tossing around the idea of a "Super

32" division for football. The new division would be a way to separate

the largest 32 schools in terms of students from the others, allowing

more tems to make the state playoffs.

Talks are in

preliminary stages and the earliest that a Super 32 could be formed would

be 2004, but if the current number of students at our local high schools

were to hold, Fayette County High School would be included in the Super

32. However, Whitewater High School will be open by 2004 and that would

take away students that would be going to Fayette County High School.

Other teams

that would be included, if the Super 32 were formed this fall, would be

Pope, Parkview, Harrison, Brookwood, Tri-Cities and Douglass, Atlanta.

Each team in the Super 32 would automatically make the playoffs, though

their regular season games would be played against other teams from their

region in AAAAA.

The number

of students at schools will change nearly every year, meaning that the

Super 32 will also change each year. To find out more about the Super

32 and future votes and proposals, visit www.ghsa.net.
