Very interesting article in the Paragould Daily Press (local paper). And it goes something like this......

AAA announces new conference alignments for 2016-2018.

Sports affected are: basketball, soccer, baseball, softball, and volleyball. NOT FOOTBALL (at this time). [I know this is football board, but I figure it will eventually affect football.]

The new 6A/5A conference will include: Jonesboro, Blytheville, Forrest City, Greene County Tech, Marion, Nettleton, Paragould, West Memphis, Wynne, and Valley View.

The article does NOT say what happens to Batesville.

So, anyone else heard about this?

Here is what I saw in the local paper in Harrison.
Conferences were assigned to schools in April and those conferences will determine who will proceed to postseason play.  However, in theory, the new districts will provide each school a league to play in that will eliminate travel and student absences.  The sport of Football is exempted from the new leagues as is all sports in class 7A.  The only team sports involved in this move are baseball, basketball, softball, soccer and volleyball.

What I saw for the northern 6A/5A schools as follows:

During Regular Season
North West side league (not sure what it is actually called)
Russellville
Siloam Springs
Greenwood
Alma
Harrison
Farmington
Clarksville

(not sure of where Maumelle will be playing in regular season)

North East side league (not sure what it is actually called)
Mountain Home
Searcy
Batesville
Beebe
Greenbrier
Morrilton
Vilonia

Now Alma should be moving back down to the 5A West and I'm not sure if Maumelle will be moving up to 6A.  But the way I see it is that the 5A West during the Postseason District Tounament is as follows:
Alma
Maumelle
Greenbrier
Harrison
Clarksville
Farmington
Morrilton
Vilonia

This is what I saw for the 5A West, not sure on what teams the 5A East will play in the Postseason District Tournament.

You will play the same team in district tournament (for sports above), as your football played.
