FHSAA Announces New Football Classification Changes for 2024 and 2025 Seasons
Key Points
- The FHSAA has announced new football alignments for 2024 and 2025.
- Only one Brevard-only district exists, District 8-3A, with Eau Gallie, Merritt Island, Palm Bay, Satellite, and Titusville.
- Both Heritage and Rockledge will have to travel for several district games, with tough regional draws for many Brevard teams.
- Heritage will compete in a Class 5A region with St. Thomas Aquinas, the five-time consecutive state title winner, while Rockledge will compete in a district with Orlando Jones, a top-ranked team.
- Cocoa and Astronaut will face the team from Bushnell in District 6-2A, and Melbourne and Viera now find themselves in District 5-6A with Kissimmee Osceola, a top-10 contender.
- MCC and Holy Trinity will be joined by First Academy, Foundation Academy, and Orlando Christian Prep in District 6-1A after years without district alignment.
- The new alignment could result in fewer teams from Brevard in the FHSAA regional playoffs, with as few as five teams looking like a possibility for 2024.
