MECHANICSBURG, Pa. – The PIAA Monday released preliminary classifications for all sports for the 2016-17 through 2017-18 cycle.
The classifications are preliminary because schools have until Dec. 15 to voluntary move up in classification. The numbers may also not reflect all possible cooperative agreements.
A breakdown of preliminary District 9 Classifications for football, boys’ and girls’ basketball, wrestling, girls’ volleyball and boys’ and girls’ soccer are below. We will be adding classifications for other D9 sports soon. A full statewide list can be found here.
