I like what Catalina Foothills football coachΒ Jeff ScurranΒ says about the Arizona Interscholastics Associationβs bungling attempt to reposition and reclassify all of the stateβs high school sports teams: βThis could well be the veritable straw that broke the camelβs back for the outdated AIA. They have forgotten they are a service organization, not one that dictates to schools. We need seven divisions of football because open enrollment, budget differentials, travel and the leveling of competition.β The AIAβs initial attempt at reclassifying schools had tiny Immaculate Heart High School, with 90 students, playing in the same division for some sports, including volleyball, with Sahuarita High, which has 1,150 students. If Tucson football powers Cienega and Ironwood Ridge remain in Division I football, with the Phoenix superpowers, they wonβt likely contend for the state championship again, and theyβll both make four or five bus trips to Phoenix every season. Thatβs not good for anybody.Β
