If the application is submitted as currently planned and is accepted, the EEK Thunder (a co-op already exists for wrestling) would play in 11A. Both programs are currently dealing with serious number issues. How this would impact the make up and structure of 9 man Region 1 next year is unknown (not sure what other teams may be moving up or down).

I'd like to see Class A Region 2 look something like this:
Hillsboro-Central Valley
Langdon-Munich
Larimore
May-Port CG
Midway-Minto
North Border
Northern Cass
Park River-Fordville-Lankin

If Ellendale and E-K end up co-oping...New Town is the next lowest enrollment (besides Velva who wants to play up). If Ellendale & E-K don't co-op then things get kinda messy with my "plan"

Where did you hear that Lisbon would be moving west? That makes absolutely no sense at all!
Bypassing GBC, Valley City, Enderlin-Maple Valley and probably Central Cass to move the smallest school in Class AA West would be criminal of the NDHSAA. Lisbon's closest region game would be 3 hours away!
