INDIANAPOLIS — Change is coming for four Patriot and three Starfire sports teams.
The IHSAA announced today the reclassification for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 school years.
Jay County High School’s girls basketball and volleyball teams, which have been in Class 4A since the 2007-08 school year, will drop to Class 3A for the next two seasons. The Patriot boys and girls soccer teams will also see a change as the IHSAA moves to a three-class system, and the JCHS boys basketball squad remains Class 4A.
The JCHS enrollment for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 school years is 1,060 students, making the Patriot girls basketball team the second-largest school in Class 3A behind Fort Wayne Bishop Dwenger’s 1,075.
South Bend St. Joseph’s (896 students), North Harrison (689) and and Heritage Christian (407) all moved up to Class 4A because of the IHSAA’s tournament success factor.
This means Jay County’s girls basketball team, which has won three straight Allen County Athletic Conference titles, was 55-19 in the last three seasons and has gone since 2006 without a sectional championship, will have new sectional rivals.
The Jay County volleyball team also dropped to Class 3A, and is the third-largest school in the class behind Kankakee Valley (1,083), which also dropped a class, and Bishop Dwenger.
Beginning this fall, boys and girls soccer will be divided into three classes, up from the previous two-class format. Both boys and girls soccer teams will be reclassified as Class 2A. The JCHS boys team, which last won a sectional title in 2015, is the largest school in the class, ahead of Columbia City (1,056), Marion (1,053) and Northview (1,024).
Jay County’s girls soccer team — it won back-to-back sectional titles in 2014 and 2015 — will also be Class 2A, as the 13th-largest school.
Soccer sectional rivals Delta and Yorktown are also Class 2A.
Jay County’s boys basketball team is once again at the low-end of Class 4A enrollment. It is the second-smallest of the group of 101. Columbia City is the smallest school in the class.
The South Adams boys and girls soccer teams will be Class 1A while the defending sectional champion Starfire football team drops to Class A.
