There will be 34 teams in 5A as long as Hammond Noll and Wood Memorial express their intention to play. I don’t think Trinity Lutheran is going to play, but if they did, then Greenfield-Central would move up to 5A giving that class 35 teams. 9 S.B. Adams LaPorte Michigan City Munster 10 Goshen Concord Elkhart Central Elkhart Memorial Mishawaka 11 F.W. Northrop F.W. Snider F.W. North F.W. Bishop Dwenger 12 Harrison (W.L.) McCutcheon Kokomo Huntington North 13 Whiteland Anderson Franklin Community New Palestine 14 Decatur Central Bloomington South Bloomington North Plainfield 15 Jeffersonville New Albany Floyd Central Seymour Bedford-North Lawrence 16 Castle Terre Haute North Terre Haute South Evansville North

Coach was missing 2 teams from his 5A list. Huntington North and BNL.

That is the exact alignment I posted for 6A before the forum crashed when I posted the numbers from the DOE back in November.

Hammond Bishop Noll, Wood Memorial, and Trinity Lutheran are all IHSAA tournament eligible and have played football in recent seasons. Trinity looks like it will not play, so they most likely will not be included in the upcoming classification and sectional alignment for 2019-20 and 2020-21. Bishop Noll and Wood Memorial are the 2 that would need to express their intentions to play in either year of the next cycle. If they plan to play, even if it is only 2020-21, then they will be included in the classification and sectional alignment. I would imagine both will plan to play so they can be included in the alignment, which will mean 322 football teams. 32 in 6A, 34 in 5A, and 64 in 4A-1A. That means Bedford NL and Huntington North will be added to your 5A list, Yorktown and Danville move up to 4A, South Vermillion and F.W. Luers to 3A, and Taylor to 2A. Add Noll to 2A and Wood Memorial to 1A.

There are 2 schools larger than Burris without football. Indianapolis Herron - 889 students, and Gary Lighthouse - 578 students.
