The final decision has been made by a committee for the Oregon Schools Activities Association (OSAA) regarding reclassification and redistricting of member schools for the next four years.  Gone is the football hybrid that forced Marshfield and North Bend to make five-hours trips in football to play the Klamath Basin teams.  Now it is back to regular leagues and the Pirates and Bulldogs remain in the 4A Sky-Em League along with Cottage Grove, Elmira, Junction City, Marist Catholic, and South Umpqua.  The leagues are organized by each school’s enrollment and geography.  Both Elmira (299) and South Umpqua (290) get the short end of the stick going up against Marshfield (550), Cottage Grove (525) and North Bend (460) as far as student enrollments.  Junction City is fourth in attendance (340), followed by Marist Catholic (319).  The Sky-Em League was down to five-teams, but the new classification, which go into effect in the Fall of 2026, puts the league at seven members.  Other movements include:  Banks and Valley Catholic back to the 4A Cowapa League. Cascade Christian (Medford) moves up to the 4A Skyline Conf.
