With the new 20-30-30-20 model coming in after next football season, I sat down and tried my best to figure it out. This is my best guess on the new 3A line and what schools will be joining and leaving 3A.... The new 3A line will be about 1,046-1,575 students, with Mooresville being the highest, and White Oak being the lowest.
