Basketball Class Expansion Proposal Passed in W.Va.

The governing body for high school sports in West Virginia has passed a proposal to expand the number of classes in basketball to four.

The Secondary School Activities Commission’s Board of Control passed the proposal on a 111-26 vote Tuesday. It would expand the current system of three classes under the two-year trial. The board consists of high school principals and athletic directors.

The state Board of Education will put the proposal out for public comment for 30 days before voting on it.

Private schools have won multiple Class A state championships in both girls and boys basketball in the past three decades. Last month St. Joseph won its ninth girls title in 11 years.

Dolan Chosen to Lead Secondary School Activities Commission

West Virginia school administrators named Ohio County assistant schools superintendent Bernie Dolan as executive director of the Secondary School Activities Commission.

 

The SSAC announced Dolan’s hiring Tuesday at a meeting at Stonewall Jackson Resort in Lewis County.

He’ll replace Gary Ray, who is retiring in January.

 

Dolan, 54, served as a coach, assistant athletic director and athletic director at Wheeling Park High School. He was the school’s principal from 2008 to 2012 before becoming a county school administrator.

 

He is a 1979 graduate of Wheeling Park and graduated from West Virginia University.

 

The SSAC oversees interscholastic athletics, cheerleading and band activities among its more than 280 member schools.
