AHSAA releases 2020-22 high school football reclassification, regions
High school football regions in and around Etowah County will look much different after the Alabama High School Athletic Association released its 2020-22 fall reclassification Tuesday.
Three schools in Etowah County will be in a different classification for the 2020 football season.
Hokes Bluff (Class 3A) and Etowah (4A) both dropped, while Southside moved up to 6A.
There was a change Tuesday afternoon in the regional alignment for Hokes Bluff and for Glencoe, which remained in Class 3A. They now are in Region 5, along with Ohatchee, Piedmont, Pleasant Valley, Saks, Walter Wellborn and Weaver.
Gadsden City remained in 7A, but will be taking a much different route to road region games. The Titans moved from the Huntsville region to Birmingham.
Coosa Christian (1A), Gaston (2A), Westbrook Christian (2A), West End (2A), Glencoe (3A) and Sardis (5A) all stayed put in their respective classifications.
Movement in surrounding counties included Albertville up to 7A, Fyffe up to 3A, Collinsville up to 3A and Cedar Bluff down to 1A.
