Towards the top, eh? Not quite. The new ADM has been released, and Bishop McGuinness has been moved from Class 4A to 5A. McGuinness ranks as the smallest school in 5A, but not all sports are making the change.
Tennis, wrestling, swimming, and cross country are Irish sports already classified at 5A. Three of those four teams dominate in their respective sport, so this doesn’t bother them.
Football will be the only sport for the next two school years unfazed by this decision. The districts have been set for the next couple of seasons, therefore McGuinness football will enjoy the 4A slate for a little while longer.
You may be wondering what this all means. Well let’s just say, people won’t be making any excuses for us if we win eight state championships in a single school year.
The 5A scene is no joke, and cupcake teams are very hard to find. Basketball for both girls and boys will be a challenge, but McGuinness has competed with higher class teams in the regular season and proven successful.
For right now, this is the biggest news out of the OSSAA as we patiently await for football season.
Give IOD your thoughts down below, is this good or bad for McGuinness?
