Expanded divisions will make for big changes in several fall sports, as the Ohio High School Athletic Association announced its divisional breakdowns for all its fall sports besides football in the 2024-25 school year.
The biggest changes will come in volleyball, which is set to expand from four to seven divisions. The majority of the Midwest Athletic Conference schools will now compete in Division VI, which will feature Coldwater, Delphos St. John's, Fort Recovery, Marion Local, Minster, New Bremen, Parkway and St. Henry. New Knoxville will compete in the smallest division, Division VII, while Versailles will represent the MAC in Division V.
