IHSAA Classifications Impacts Across the Magic Valley
The Idaho High School Activities Association (IHSAA) has finalized sports classifications for the 2026-28 school year.
Two Magic Valley high schools are making changes to improve athletic competitiveness by dropping down classifications. Buhl High School will move from 4A to 3A, while Canyon Ridge High School will drop from 6A to 5A for seven out of eight team sports starting with the 2026-27 school year.
“We’ve always been the low one on the totem pole, and so this will be the first time we’ve kind of been at the top,”
said Stacey Wilson, Buhl High School’s Athletic Director. This change will serve student athletes and the community in the long run.
