Athletic directors, coaches weigh classification and long schedules at Stanfield SD 61
Summary
Lorena reported on long baseball and basketball schedules, decisions to avoid conflicts with the FFA state conference, and uncertainty about football opponents while classification petitions proceed.
Lorena (as identified in the meeting) gave an extended administrative report about athletics scheduling, saying the district intentionally avoided scheduling games during the state FFA conference and is planning roughly 23–26 baseball games to preserve flexibility.
She also reported that the football ad hoc committee is assessing classification moves: West McKeown is reported to be moving to 11-man and Sherman County to 9-man, while Sherman County athletic directors presented to stay in 8-man. "So we'll see how it goes," she said, noting that the district cannot finalize football schedules until classifications and opponent assignments are confirmed.
Lorena described other athletics items: a two-day tennis event the district will host with Madras and Ontario expressing interest, and open coaching positions for assistant baseball, middle school assistant track, and high school volleyball. Board members asked staff to produce schedules for spring events to avoid conflicts with community events such as Arbor Day and elementary concerts.
