The Alabama High School Athletic Association’s Central Board approved the fall reclassification for the 2024 and 2025 seasons today, and it includes some major shakeups in football.

The AHSAA reclassifies every two years by enrollment. Winter sports alignments and spring sports alignments will be announced at the conclusion of those sports championships.

It is based on average daily enrollment numbers for the first 20 school days after Labor Day. Public schools provide those figures to Alabama State Board of Education.

Member private schools supply the same enrollment information for their schools or school systems to the AHSAA. Private schools are also classified based on a 1.35 multiplier and a competitive balance factor that can place successful teams in a higher classification.

The 2024 and 2025 football alignment places 32 teams in 7A once again, 58 in 6A, 59 in 5A, 65 in 4A, 61 in 3A, 57 in 2A and 61 in 1A.

Here are a few of the reclass headlines:

— New schools joining Class 7A are Carver Senior High School with the merger of G.W. Carver and Sidney Lanier along with Robertsdale and Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa.

— Schools dropping to 6A include Spain Park, Percy Julian and Chelsea.

— Bayshore Christian, which will play its first varsity football schedule in 2024, comes in as a 2A school. Four former AISA schools also will join the AHSAA next fall as the Central Board approved at its last meeting. Glenwood and Lee-Scott will both open AHSAA play as Class 3A schools. Autauga Academy and Pickens Academy will begin play as 1A schools.

— Four 2023 state champions are moving up in class. Gulf Shores moves from 5A to 6A, Montgomery Catholic from 4A to 5A, Fyffe from 2A to 3A and Mobile Christian from 3A to 4A. Central-Phenix City (7A), Clay-Chalkville (6A) and Leroy (1A) stayed in their current classes.

— Hatton jumps two classes. The Hornets move from Class 2A to Class 4A, Region 7. Hatton was 7-4 this season and lost to Sulligent in the first round of the 2A playoffs.

— Private school football teams moving up by the Competitive Balance Factor include Coosa Christian (1A to 2A), Madison Academy (3A to 4A), Mobile Christian (3A to 4A), St. James (3A to 4A) and Montgomery Catholic (4A to 5A).
