(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Atlantic School District’s Board of Directors has approved sports sharing agreement with the Exira-EHK and CAM High Schools for Boys soccer. The district already has sharing agreements with the same two schools for girls soccer.

Atlantic Athletic Director Andy Mitchell recommended the Board approve the arrangements. He spoke during the Board meeting Wednesday night.

He said Exira-EHK approached him about the possibility of sharing, about a month ago.

Mitchell said about two months ago, CAM said they have four young men interested in playing. Mitchell said the IHSAA changed soccer from a 3-class to 4-class system for this season. Atlantic was already going to be a 2A school but with the additions of Exira-EHK and CAM that would bump them into Class 3A due to enrollment numbers. He said that will only impact the postseason and everyone agreed it was best to approve so the team has enough numbers.

Atlantic is scheduled to open the boys soccer season March 28th at home against Riverside.
