An error in the enrollment number reported by the Washington School Districtâs central office to MSHSAA resulted in four of the high schoolâs seven fall athletic teams and three winter teams being bumped up a class higher than they otherwise would have been assigned had the number been correct.
Class and district assignments determine the competition those teams faced or will face in postseason play. A postseason run for the student athletes can potentially mean getting their name on a board to hang for years in the high school gym and getting seen by college coaches and scouts who attend state tournament games.
