Here's What North Dakota's Three Class Basketball May Look Like

With three classes of basketball coming to North Dakota next here, here is what the new divisions may look like next year.

The NDHSAA will undergo district realignment after the 2024-2025 season to address any changes that may need to happen.

The layout in the accepted proposal states the following:

Division AA – Enrollment of 650+: Calculated using the average of grade 9-12 enrollments in the Fall of 2021 and Fall of 2022.
- Public and non-public schools located within a Division AA school district with 400 or more students shall be placed in Division A.
Division A – Enrollment of 162.5 – 649 students: Calculated using the average of grade 9-12 enrollments in the Fall of 2021 and Fall of 2022.
- Public and non-public schools located within a Division AA school district with 100-399 students shall be placed in Division A.
Division B – Enrollment below 162.5 students: Calculated using the average of grade 9-12 enrollments in the Fall of 2021 and Fall of 2022.

Using this framework, the NDHSAA was able to compile a projected look at how the divisions would shake out:
