*The class in which a school competes depends on the size of the school, which may be affected by co-op teams with nearby schools, and the particular sport or activity. Most activities (for example, baseball, softball, track, cross country) compete in four classes, but basketball and football competes in six. Swimming & Diving compete in two classes.[4]
