🏠 AHSAA’s New Classification System

Hey Neighbor, did you catch the news about AHSAA’s new classification system? I am a former athlete at Randolph School, where I attended K–12 and played both football and baseball.

I was the quarterback on the football team and a pitcher and third baseman on the baseball field. I was recruited to pitch at Tulane University, but after tearing my UCL and greyshirting, I never played.

My perspective is shaped by competing against high-level competition.

AHSAA’s New Classification System: Former Private School Athlete Perspective

“Under the new private school divide, they will be limited in the competition they could face. Most of the best athletes I played against were at public schools.

If you want to be great, you have to compete against the best and hold your own. That’s how growth happens. That’s how you learn whether you belong or if you need to be working even harder.

And we should want to push our state athletes to be the best they can be. That not only translates into athletic success, but also flows into all other aspects of life. Winners win.” Full article here.
