Boys Basketball Moves to DI, Girls Change Tourney Location

The Louisville Leopards Boys Basketball team will no longer be playing at the Field House come tournament time.  Louisville’s 9th-11th grade 2010 enrollment was 10 boys over the Division II cut propelling them into Division I.  The Leopards will be playing in the Alliance District that includes three other Stark County teams: GlenOak, Hoover, & Lake.  Here’s a list of all the teams within the District:

1. Austintown Fitch

2. Boardman

3. Canfield

4. Youngstown East

5. GlenOak

6. Green

7. North Canton Hoover

8. Howland

9. Uniontown Lake

10. Louisville

11. Kent Roosevelt

12. Warren G. Harding

Although the boys basketball team is entering Division I, most other boys sports are remaining in their respective divisions…barely.  Louisville’s boys underclassman enrollment in 2010 was 378, the cut off for Division II in both baseball and boys soccer was that exact number.  Had one more boy be enrolled at Louisville last year, then Football & Boys Swimming would be the only two Division II sports left at LHS.  You can see a full breakdown of each Louisville sport in the table below:
