Ferndale and Ferndale University have a CoOp team for Football so they would be D2 for playoffs.

The cutoff line for Division One and Division Two is 889 students for next year.

Hazel Park, Pontiac, Harrison, and Ferndale will certainly be in Division Two once the Volleyball and Basketball Districts come out in June. The rest of the schools will be Division One.

Troy Athens makes the biggest jump in the OAA based on enrollment from 2026 students in 2017-2018 to 2212 students in 2018-2019. Troy meanwhile loses the most kids based on the enrollment in the league from 2422 students in 2017-2018 to 2225 students in 2018-2019.

Let the debate began.

  2. No it is not, it means Harrison, Hazel Park, Pontiac, and Ferndale will be heading to Class B or Division Two once the Volleyball and Basketball districts come out.
