The 2025-26 GHSA Boys Basketball season is here after a busy offseason which saw sweeping changes voted on and passed as a 1-32 playoff seeding was approved for next year’s reclassification cycle with Class 7A set to return as well. The GHSA also passed a new, “stricter” transfer rule that went into effect August 1. It remains to be seen if movement will ever be hindered as 223 transfers and counting have been reported as schools rushed to turn in their old Form Bs before the new policy went into effect.

High school basketball is officially back as the 2025-26 GHSA season is right around the corner. Region realignment will come back into play next year meaning title run windows could be closing on some teams while on the horizon of opening for others. Don’t forget that the days of region tournaments solely determining state playoff brackets is nearly over as this season will be the last before all classifications move to seeding 1-32 next year.

The 2024-25 GHSA Boys Basketball season is upon us. With the crunch of seven classifications into six, expect winning a state title to become even harder, unless you are a smaller public school. With private schools from Class 3A to 1A all vying for just one championship, tiny county schools have an opportunity to make history. Tracking the power ratings system will be interesting in Year 1 of implementation as gamesmanship as far as scheduling goes will come back into play for the smaller classifications over the next few years.

The end of the seven-classification era is nearly upon us, which means it will be even harder to win a state title next year but in the present day, there are still banners to be hung.
