Sports that are affected by the realignment are baseball, softball, boys’ and girls’ soccer and girls’ outdoor track. Boys’ and girls’ tennis and boys’ and girls’ golf were also approved.

“We thank the Central Board for its commitment to fair play, and we also thank the AHSAA executive staff for their many hours of hard work and research,” said AHSAA Executive Director Steve Savarese.
