Revised Reclassification Numbers Confirm Changes for Oly Area Schools

New, revised reclassification numbers have been released by the WIAA and it confirms a couple of major changes for the 2014-2016 seasons.

Here’s how the Olympia area (Thurston County plus Shelton) break down…

4A: Olympia, Timberline, Yelm
3A: Capital, North Thurston, Shelton
2A: Tumwater, Black Hills, River Ridge, Rochester
1A: Tenino
2B: Rainier
1B: Northwest Christian, Pope John Paul II

Olympia, Timberline and Yelm will all be some of the smallest schools in 4A with Olympia the largest at 1287. The cutoff between 4A and 3A is Marysville-Getchell at 1252. Timberline is listed as “still working with WIAA on enrollment #’s” so there is still a chance that they could land in 3A.

Capital will be one of the smallest 3A schools that didn’t opt up from a lower division. Rochester will be one of the smallest 2A schools while Tumwater will be one of the largest.

Rainier is now solidly in 2B and I would expect them to stay there and not opt up. Northwest Christian falls to 1B, but it would not surprise me at all to see them opt up to 2B and finally have a short drive for an opponent in Rainier.

Schools have the option to opt up until the first week of January.

See the full spreadsheet of reclassification numbers here.

Today (12/13): Navs, Bears, Blazers and Rams Open League Play

Boys basketball
Northwest Christian vs. North Beach – Northwest Christian HS – 7:00 PM
Olympia vs. Yelm – Olympia HS – 7:00 PM
Tumwater vs. Enumclaw – Tumwater HS – 7:00 PM

The league portion of the 2013-2014 season tips off tonight for Northwest Christian and the Narrows League schools. The Navigators take on North Beach at Compass Arena at NCHS at 7:00 PM, while Olympia hosts Yelm also at 7:00. Timberline and North Thurston open league play on the road.

Northwest Christian is 2-2 in the early going with wins over The Northwest School and Orting. North Beach, meanwhile, is 3-0 with wins over three 1A Evergreen schools – Forks, Montesano and Hoquiam.

Olympia is 3-1 this season with a pair of wins over Capital. The inexperience Bears – they had to replace all five starters from last year’s team – have found offense in Khalil Matheney, a senior transfer from Hawaii’s Leilahua High School on Oahu. Matheney is averaging 14.3 points per game including a 22 point performance against the Cougars on Wednesday. Oly will face 2-1 Yelm tonight.


Girls basketball

North Thurston vs. Lincoln – North Thurston HS – 7:00 PM
Timberline vs. Foss – Timberline HS – 7:00 PM

The North Thurston and Timberline girls open their league seasons tonight with home games against Lincoln and Foss. Both the Rams and Blazers are 1-1 this season.

The Rams picked up an easy win over Capital on Monday led by Megan Kramer’s 20 points while the Blazers lost by just three points to River Ridge in their opener and won by three points at Olympia last Friday.
