Approved to move down to Class 2A were Jordan and Spencer. Approved for Class A Division 1 were Mount Vernon and Pelham. Approved for Class A Division 2 was Trion. Approved to Class A Division 2 were Chattahoochee County and Seminole County.
Those denied appeals were ACE Charter, Gordon Lee, Bacon County, Commerce, Early County, Irwin County and Schley County.
