Today, the FHSAA announced the finalized reclassifications for boy's basketball to take affect for the 2009-10 season. The reclassifications are in place because with growth and non-growth of schools around Florida, there tends to be a need to match schools with others of similar student population. The reclassifications are now finalized after appeals have been reviewed and taken into consideration. Southwest Florida would see a big shake up in each district with some teams being combined with almost a whole new mix of teams. For a complete list of every district in every class visit FHSAA.org.
