The new changes have come about mostly because of the six classifications of schools and the loss or gain in enrollment. Every four years the leagues will be up for change again. Enrollment will be examined, and teams will be placed where they fit best.

Coming off of a jamboree at Westview High School where the Grizzlies beat the Wildcats in a 12 minute period, they went into their home game on Dec. 8 against the McNary Scots with confidence, winning in a thrilling battle 69-64.
