The finalized district assignments for the 2013-14 high school football seasons were released by the Florida High School Athletic Association on Friday with few changes that affected Broward and Palm Beach County teams.

Archbishop McCarthy, Hallandale and Suncoast were originally placed in District 16-5A. All three schools appealed and got their wished to move up a class and play in District 15-6A. There they will compete against Boynton Beach, Coconut Creek, Dillard, Pembroke Pines Charter and Stranahan.

With the approval McCarthy, Hallandale and Suncoast, should they make the playoffs, will have tougher regional games possibly against Belen Jesuit, Miami Central, Miami Norland or Miami Northwestern.

Coral Springs Christian and Highlands Christian won their appeals to play in District 8-2A with Barrington Christian, Champagnat and Dade Christian, instead of District 7-2A.

St. Thomas Aquinas remained in Class 7A with a chance to defend its state title. Class 3A state champion University School moved up to Class 4A.
