So basically it’s 1a 1aa 2a 2aa etc just like it was before with a different name
Will they realign the every 4 years or 2 years. I heard talks of one time of realigning every 2 years. That part I like to see.
OK Looking at this using historical references
In 8A your best teams in the west will be Hough, Mallard Creek, West Forsyth, Richmaond CO, Reagan
8A East Rolesville, Hoggard, Pinecrest, Jordan, Millbrook, Leesville Road
7A looks much more difficult
7A west Indy, West Charlotte, Grimsley, Marvin Ridge, Mooresville, Weddington, Butler, East Forsyth
7A East Wake Forest, Britt, Clayton, Cleveland, Hillside, S Durham, New Bern.

Curious how they split the 8A East/West geographically. For example, Richmond is closer to Mecklenburg County schools and Pinecrest is closer to Wake County Schools, however those 2 (and hoke) are all about 30 minutes apart.
even if they put richmond in the west region it would really be tough to have a conference that richmond could possibly in for the west then putting richmond in the east region there is a good possibly of a split conference with 8a/7a that would put richmond in.
If they limit the amount of teams to 32 then they need to seed them based on something other than geographics. the imaginary ever shifting line that divides the east and west will make this bad idea even worse. right now even with moving richmond back west the East has a lot more schools.
Which continues to muddy the waters when it comes to seeding. The Wilmington schools too.
IDK I'd say take the best 16 regardless of geography and let them fight it out.

8A/7A Richmond Hoke and Pinecrest 8A. Jack Britt Overhills Pine Forest and Cape Fear 7A. Is what makes since to me. Fayetteville area schools.
If you look at the number of powerhouse programs in the East compared to the West, we can see a clear trend where the East has traditionally had more dominant teams. This could lead to a situation where teams from the West are consistently at a disadvantage when it comes to tournament seeding, even if their performance metrics are comparable or superior.
So from looking at 7A and 8A who would have the toughest teams
7A Weddington, Grimsley, Independence, Butler, East Forsyth
8A Hough, Mallard Creek, Rolesville, Leesville Road, Richmond, West Forsyth,
Both would be stout
7A Weddington, Grimsley, Independence, Butler, East Forsyth
8A Hough, Mallard Creek, Rolesville, Leesville Road, Richmond, West Forsyth,
Both would be stout
