The Alabama High School Athletic Association Central Board on Thursday approved winter sports alignments — including basketball — for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 school years.
Bowling, indoor track and field, and wrestling alignments were also ironed out.
The AHSAA approved reclassification for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 school years this past December.
Basketball alignments remained unchanged — 16 areas in Classes 1A through 6A and eight in 7A — but numerous programs across the state and hoops landscape found different landing spots.
See below for new area alignments involving basketball programs in The News Courier’s coverage area.
