The South Dakota High School Activities Association Board of Directors voted 6-2 in favor of adding an 11AAA class, for the state's largest schools football schools at their regular January meeting yesterday in Pierre. The decision to add another class of football is due to huge enrollement diparities in the current 16 schools in 11AA. Class 11AAA will consist of Sioux Falls schools Washington, Roosevelt and Lincoln. Rapid City Central and Stevens, Aberdeen Central, Watertown, and Brandon Valley. The next 9 largest would make up Class 11AA. That would include Yankton, Pierre, Mitchell, Brookings, Sioux Falls O'Gorman, Huron, Sturgis, Douglas and Spearfish with only 8 of the teams making the playoffs.. O'Gorman says they will petition up to play in 11AAA which would allow, Brandon Valley, the option to go down to 11AA. If the Lynx opt not to, then Watertown could. If the Arrows don't, then Aberdeen Central would have the option. Class 11A and Class 11B would be split between the two and the three 9 man classes are unaffected by any decision to be made. Wednesday's vote isn't final, as yesterday was only the first reading. The second reading and final vote on it is on February 29th. If adopted, the seven-class playoff system would go in effect in the fall of 2013.
