SPORTING SCENE Realignment Looks Bleak For County High Schools Brunswick County's high school athletic teams could he among the biggest losers in the state when the sun sets on the realignment process in December. From the looks of things now. West and South Brunswick will have to move up in classification from 2-A to 3-A starting with the 1993-94 school year. And North Brunswick, which has been pleading for years to drop from 2-A to 1-A status, may just have to slay put. The realignment process is just getting started and won't be complet ed until the end of next football season. A lot can change between now and then. But what we know now is that the N.C. High School Athletic Association has divided the slate's 323 schools into four classifications based on average daily attendance. Each school has four options. They can go along with the classification assigned to them based on the number of students, request to play up or down in classification or ask to play as an independent. Based on average daily attendance. West and South have been tentative ly bumped into the 3-A class. With 661 students, West Brunswick would be in the lower half of the 3 A brackct, but still have 73 more kids than the largest 2-A school in the state. South Brunswick, on the other hand, averages only 597 students. That puts the Cougars on the bubble. South would be the third smallest school in the 3-A classification, v, ith in nine students of being in the 2-A bracket. The situation is similar for North Brunswick, which has an average dai ly membership of 434 kids. North, which has consistently had trouble competing on the 2-A level, would have been lowered to 1-A if it averaged 1 1 fewer students per day. So what do all these numbers mean? They apparently add up to trouble for West Brunswick. Southeastern North Carolina has more counties than 3-A schools. Trojan coaches and athletes will have to do an awful lot of traveling if West Brunswick ends up in a 3-A conference. The closest 3-A schools arc north of Wilmington in Onslow, Pender and Craven counties. Talk about a long bus ride home from a ball game. West isn't the only local school with problems on the horizon. Dropping from 3-A to 2-A in South's case or 2-A to 1 -A in Nonh's case is just as bad in my opinion. Under N.C.H.S.A.A. rules, schools that play down in classification arc restricted when it comes to competing in team sports playoffs. A team that qualifies for the playoffs one year isn't eligible the next. That means if North Brunswick drops to 1-A and the Scorpions qualify for the football playoffs one year, they wouldn't be allowed to participate in post-season play the following season. Playing as an independent is a lousy option too, since those schools don't have any rights to participate in team sports playoffs. The troublesome news for the local schools isn't final by any means. They have until March 31 to send in ballots indicating their preferences. The athletic association's realignment committee will send their plan to the schools in June. High schools then have three chanccs to appeal to the committee and the N.C.H.S.A.A. Board of Directors before the plan is finalized in December. In the meantime, let's hope the schools and athletic association can work out a plan that will be fair to everyone concerned.
