Only one Saline County school made a move when classifications for the 2010-11 school year were announced Monday by the Kansas State High School Activities Association.
St. John’s Military will compete at the Class 4A level in postseason competition for the current year in all sports except football. Football classifications are released every two years and were announced last October for the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
Classifications for all other sports are based on a school’s enrollment in the 10th, 11th and 12th grades. St. John’s Military’s enrollment number in those three grades was 138, but because the enrollment is limited to boys only, the Muleskinners numbers are doubled when determining classifications.

St. John’s Military opened its 2010 season Friday night with a resounding 56-0 victory at home over Kickapoo Nation.
The game ended at halftime because of the 45-point rule.
Greg Seville, Zach Benishek and Jordan Sharpe each scored two rushing touchdowns as the Cadets generated 296 rushing yards on just 17 carries (17.4 average).
St. John’s, which led 34-0 after the first quarer, was also dominant on defense. Kickapoo’s 31 snaps resulted in a minus-1 total yard.
