The Atlanta Journal Constitution is reporting that Class AA coaches want to separate the state into public and private divisions by 2016.

The newspaper reports 25 public school head coaches met earlier this week to draft a proposal that would follow what the Georgia High School Association did in Class A in 2012.  There are only 13 private schools outside of Class A, with eight of them in AA.

The story states that six of the 13 private schools outside of Class A made the semifinals or better last year.  Two private schools – Benedictine and Greater Atlanta Christian played for the AA title in 2014 with Benedictine capturing the title with a 45-21 win.
