FRUITLAND, N.M.
For the upcoming 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons, some area teams will face some new competition.
The New Mexico Activities Association released a new classification and district realignment for the next two-year block.
While many of the local competition remains the same, some drastic changes will be made.
The NMAA Board of Directors approved the new classification and alignment last week.
