AURORA — The new football alignment means new conference names in some classifications.

When the alignment was set, the conferences in Classes 2A-5A had placeholder names such as “Conference A,” or “Metro 1” until they could be named. These names were set earlier this year, but haven’t been reported on yet.

So, here’s the 2016 and 2017 football alignment, along with the names of those conferences. This can also be found on the football alignment page.
