The latest OHSAA Divisional alignment for all fall sports following the release of football’s numbers earlier this spring were released on Thursday, and the Wheelersburg volleyball and Minford boys soccer programs will each be moving up a division each as part of the statewide divisional assignments for boys and girls golf, boys and girls soccer, girls tennis and volleyball, which were all released on June 25.
A breakdown of where Scioto County teams ended up in all six sponsored sports mentioned above are below:

Boys Golf
In the sport of boys golf, all teams remained status quo in their respective divisions, but potential fluctuation of divisions remains a real possibility in the future.
While Wheelersburg comfortably sits in the OHSAA Division II realm in boys golf, Minford and Northwest, who are with the Pirates in Division II now, sit with 139 and 137 boys in base enrollment. The cutoff in Division II is 130 kids.
Meanwhile, West and Valley, who are in the OHSAA Division III realm, sit close to the OHSAA Division II bubble. West matched Sugarcreek Garaway for the highest number of kids in OHSAA Division III, with 129 kids, while Valley, with 124 kids, is a top-10 school in enrollment in the OHSAA Division III realm.

Clay, Green, Notre Dame and South Webster complete the field in D-III.
Enrollment breakdown: Wheelersburg (170, D-II); Minford (139, D-II); Northwest (137, D-II); West (129, D-III); Valley (124, D-III); South Webster (81, D-III); Clay (68, D-III); Green (63, D-III); Notre Dame (53, D-III).
Girls Golf
In girls golf, like boys golf, no team raised or dropped a division. However, Wheelersburg, with 191 listed as the base enrollment in the OHSAA Division II realm, sit just nine girls away from OHSAA Division I territory. The highest OHSAA Division II school has 199 girls.

Girls Tennis
No significant changes occurred in girls tennis in any stretch. Wheelersburg (191), Portsmouth (173), Minford (124) and Valley (108) are all OHSAA Division II and will stay in that division for at least the next two academic years per the OHSAA alignment release.
Enrollment breakdown: Wheelersburg (191, D-II); Portsmouth (173, D-II), Minford (124, D-II); Valley (108, D-II).
Volleyball
In volleyball, Wheelersburg will be making the jump up from the OHSAA Division V ranks to the OHSAA Division IV realm, as the Lady Pirates are comfortably in Division IV with 196 enrollment after a competitive balance number of five was added to the total. Wheelersburg is one of 18 schools in the state who are moving up from Division V to Division IV.

With 175 total enrollment after a competitive balance of two was factored in, Portsmouth remained in the OHSAA Division V realm but sits just four individuals away from a possible move to OHSAA Division IV.
West (145), Minford (134) and Northwest (132) join Portsmouth in Division V. The Lady Falcons sit just six above the Division V cutoff of 128, with Northwest just four above the line.
Valley is the only school in Scioto County in the OHSAA Division VI realm with 111 total, while Green (86), South Webster (81), East (69), Clay (62), New Boston Glenwood (49) and Notre Dame (47) make it six Scioto County programs at the OHSAA Division VII level.

Girls Soccer
Like girls tennis, no significant changes occurred in girls soccer as well.
Wheelersburg, with a total count of 211, is in the OHSAA Division IV realm as it has been and sits 15 bodies below the cutoff as a number of 226 or better would put the Lady Pirates in OHSAA Division III territory.
