Notes from the GHSA meeting

There wasn't a lot that was decided at the Georgia High School Association executive meeting on Monday.
But there were some noteworthy things brought up.

MOVING THE BASEBALL SEASON
Even before the baseball committee met on Sunday a proposal to move the baseball season was withdrawn. But according to GHSA executive director Ralph Swearngin that proposal called for the season to end the second week of May.
According to the current schedule, the state championship games are scheduled for the first week in June.
Swearngin said the proposal included starting the season one week earlier and shrinking the length of the regular season by one week.
Swearngin said the baseball coaches planned to take a proposal to the Georgia Dugout Club and an updated proposal could be submitted at the March meeting.
The Alabama High School Athletic Association's baseball season ends the middle of May.

RECLASSIFICATION
After the full-time equivalent counts from the fall are received at the GHSA office, they will average the fall and last spring to begin the reclassification process.
Swearngin said he hopes by late October or early November to have teams put into regions. In December, the GHSA will hear appeals from schools that want to be in a different region.
The GHSA will then schedule a called executive committee meeting to approve the regions for the next two seasons.

CHEERLEADING
The cheerleading committee denied a proposal to change Class A from region competitions to a statewide sectional competition.
Cheerleading chairman and Bleckley County coach Sam Barrs told the executive committee it wouldn't work being that it would turn it into a semi-final competition and that it wasn't feasible with the travel.
Class A will still have eight region competitions, and the top two teams will advance to the state competition.
