Three Delaware high school football teams recently finished their first week as 2024 DIAA Tackle Football champions. However, there are major changes on the horizon in the state’s gridiron community. The DIAA announced a shift away from the traditional Division 1 and Division 2 system, opting for winning percentages to create a more balanced environment. This decision has had mixed outcomes for various schools, with winners and losers emerging from the new structure.
As a result, the DIAA Football Committee, athletic directors, and coaches are expected to make presentations at the upcoming Board of Directors meeting. They will discuss potential movements of teams between different divisions based on their performance. Several questions need to be addressed, including potential promotions and demotions for certain schools.
This shift in the Delaware high school football landscape comes at a time of seismic changes, with new classifications, opportunities, and challenges emerging for the state’s football programs. The decisions made by the DIAA and school officials in the coming weeks will shape the future of high school football in Delaware.
