List of anticipated classification and league changes from schools for 2014-16 cycle

The 2012-14 two-year cycle is rapidly nearing its end. That means it is time for the Classification and League Organizing Committee to shine.

That committee will next meet on Nov. 12 give final approval to and to hammer out details on leagues and classifications, but schools have been submitting their anticipated changes for the 2014-16 cycle to the CHSAA office this fall. A full list is below, and it’s important to note that these are only anticipated changes. Nothing is final, as these changes need to be approved by leagues and by CLOC.

Of note:

• Monarch’s numbers looking like the football team will move from 4A to 5A.
• Likewise, Silver Creek looking like it’ll go from 3A to 4A in football.
• Highlands Ranch football anticipating a move from 5A to 4A.
• Valor Christian is seeking a move from an independent to the Centennial League.
