Class A; I predict it will be Arlington's year. It is very interesting to hear that Peekskill & Ossining (P/O) are merging. Hope Coach Hallinan is still in charge.
One interesting thing to me is that P/O gets moved up to A, based upon HS enrollment of a combined 2,540. Looking at the NYSED data, the following is A HS enrollment #s (2022-23): Arlington: 2,515 WP: 2,193 Mamaro: 1,614 Suffern: 1,480 Scars: 1,438 Carm: 1,338
Why does Lakeland/Panas get to stay in B, when their combined HS enrollment is 1,814.
It's been something bothering me since they lost to Scarsdale, back to back seasons for Class A. If P/O has to move up, so should L/P.
Pivoting, does anyone have the League breakdowns? Want to bet L/P is in a League that they shouldn't be in.
Ossining is firmly an A team so that is why. Other teams - L/P as an example - swing between classes based on enrollment. Some middle-pack B teams were in class C only 3-4 years ago and vice versa.
As to the combined teams, I don't think it limits anyone. The teams combine so there are ones to play on - they combine because on their own they'd never have enough to field a program.
