Is Park Christian big enough to field thier own team or are they co-oping with someone else?

Class A 11man stays with the current 13 teams allowing growth in Minot, WF, and Bismarck to eventually expand to 16 in possibly the next 5 yrs.
Class B 11man would include the following 32 teams....DL, Whap, TM, VC, Shanley, StMary's, CC, Grafton, OG, Kind, Beulah, Carrington, Lisbon, Ryan, Rugby, Botno, Langdon, WC, Trinity, Larimore, Stanley/PL, Hazen, DLB, MPCG, Killdeer, Oakes, North Cass, Newtown, Standing Rock, and any 3 of the following that might opt up Cavalier, Velva, Harvey, Hillsboro depending on other co-ops being split up. I know its a stretch to have Hillsboro playing DL so maybe 24 in this division would be best.
9man would include the following 32 teams....Northwood, Hatton, Enderlin, MV, Tioga, Griggs, Park Riv, Lewis Clark, New Salem, Garrison, Bowman, Kidder, Linton, Lamoure, Kenmare, Hetting/Scrant, EK, North Border, Beach, Parshall, Thomp, Surrey, Dunseith, NRS, TGU, MLS, Hank, Sarg Cent, Benson County? and possible new co-ops to match ones in other sports Glen Ull/Heb, Cent Prairie, Northstar/MS.
6man could include the remaining roughly 40 teams depending on current dissolutions and other co-ops....Ray, Westhope, Glenburn, BN, RT, Max, Midway, Minto, Milnor, NS, CV, Belfield, Rolla, So Heart, Flasher, Ashley, Wishek, Richland, Wilton, Ellendale, Divide, Wynd, Lidg, Nap, Drayton/ST, Valley/Edin, Trenton, Lakota, Drake, Shiloh, SZ, MR, CS and the following could opt up to 9man....FW, SJ, DP, Washburn. The following might also be able to field 6man teams RW, Leeds, Maddock, PBK, Wells, Muni/Stark, Hope Page, Finley.
I know most of this is just wishful thinking and has next to no chance of ever happening, but I just thought I'd throw it out there for discussion. Right now in the bottom 3 divisions there are about 90 teams and I believe by adding a 6man division we could easily add 10-15 new football teams.

I love the Idea of 10-15 new teams, I like the Idea of having one coop for all sports shuch as central prairie.
I like keeping 11 man in 16- 24 teams per division. I like the idea of the bigger school 9-man division, Linton, Hillsboro, Lamoure, Cavalier, Harvey, etc. it would be very competetive.
The 6-man div. would be expolsive and entertaining.

That could be because they don't think they'll be able to play in Jamestown. If they have a team in their school they would probably be more apt to play.

Have you heard how kids coming from a 6-man team have adjusted to college football in other states? Was just curious. I know some kids who have struggled going from 9-man to 11-man in college and many that have done very well. Was curious how the 6-man to 11-man transition would be and also what kind of influence it has on how college coaches recruit them.

Minot will never add another public high school. As for Bismarck, it has continued to grow. However, the 2 public high schools are currently sufficient and should be for the forseeable future. Remember, Bismarck only has about 60,000 people (not even quite two Minots). This makes it the size of many Twin Cities suburbs that have only one or two highschools at the most.

I don't know the extent of it...I just know that the coop is about 95% sure its coming to an end

Let the debates begin.

I'm sure Watford and Hazen are just fine being in A and I can't see Botno opting back up into AA because of travel. Nice to see Harvey, Velva, and DT opt up and stay in their divisions. Lot of interesting changes, tho. Teams like Cav, Bowman, and Lamoure that have been 11man forever moving down to 9man, while Kidder, DSTVE, WNG, and RTH who have been 9man forever moving up to 11man. Didn't look at region assignments too closely, but I think its rediculous that they have Benson Cty in reg 3 playing up in the NE when Northstar makes more sense to have up in that region. VC playing in the West region of AA is interesting, too, but I don't know what other team you move over in that region....unless a team out west opts up
