NSAA narrows choices down to four

The Nebraska School Activities Association has four finalists for executive director including two from in-state including Deb Frison, principal at Omaha Burke and Craig Whaley, activities director for the Millard Public Schools in Omaha.

The other two finalists are Rhonda Blanford-Green, a former track and field All-American at Nebraska who is currently the associate commissioner of the Colorado High School Activities Association and William Watson, activities director for the Urbandale, Iowa, Community School District.

The finalists will be interviewed in February in Lincoln.

Lincoln Pius-X moving to Class A football

Lincoln Pius X will go back to Class A for at least the next two years in football despite a drop in enrollment. The Nebraska School Activities Association released enrollment figures showing Pius X’s enrollment went from 838 down to 824 for grades 9th-11th.  However the Thunderbolts moved ahead of South Sioux City and Columbus and will take the 28th and final spot for Class A football.

The classifications will be certified in a board meeting in January.  Should everything go through as planned, Pius-X would be in District 2.

The classification figures will be certified at the Jan. 13 board meeting. Assuming these numbers don’t change and the rules regarding placing teams in districts don’t change, the Class A football districts next year would be:

District 1 — Grand Island, Lincoln North Star, Lincoln High, Kearney, Fremont, North Platte.

District 2 — Lincoln Southeast, Lincoln Southwest, Lincoln Northeast, Lincoln East, Norfolk, Lincoln Pius X.

District 3 — Omaha Central, Millard West, Millard South, Omaha Bryan, Bellevue East, Omaha Northwest.

District 4 — Millard North, Omaha Burke, Omaha North, Bellevue West, Papillion-La Vista.
