The NDHSAA board presented a proposal last week to realign high school volleyball and basketball into a three-class system for the 2010-11 school year.
The latest proposal to introduce a three-class system drop Fargo Shanley and Bismarck St. Mary’s from the top level to join 30 of the current Class B’s largest schools in a new middle tier.
New Town and Watford City would be among the schools in the middle region, dubbed Class A. Williston High would compete in Class AA, and the remaining area schools would stay in Class B.
A final decision on the proposal will be made in April. The idea is to streamline the postseason by eliminating district tournaments and holding boys and girls postseasons at the same time.
Watford City athletic director Randy Cranston said his school is against the move, as it was in previous three-class proposals.
"I have to be honest we're not in favor of it,” Cranston said. “We're supporters of the system we have right now, we'd like to see that continue."
Crantston said the district tournaments are an important source of revenue for the towns and schools that host them.
