NDHSAA straw vote shoots down the 3 class system

About all I can say is I hope this puts it to rest for 5 years. I heard callers on the radio say football has 4 classes. Which is right, but not an accurate comparison. You need 9 or 11 men to put a team on the field.

In BB 9 or 10 is the entire team.

Now Valley City can sit down and figure out how to put a winning system in, and not how to rework the class system.

BISMARCK, N.D.

Members of the North Dakota High School Activities Association have defeated a proposal for a three-class system for boys and girls basketball and volleyball.

Those sports now have Class A and Class B.

Association spokesman say Dave Carlsrud says 55 schools voted for the idea but 78 voted against it in a straw vote on Monday.

Valley City High School asked for a study of the idea.

Carlsrud says it's a dead issue for now.
