The NHIAA football committee meets Thursday and, according to one committee member the prospect of six divisions is a very real one facing little opposition. Of course, the final number of teams playing varsity football next fall is still in question, with Bedford, Sanborn of Kingston, Inter-Lakes of Meredith and Mascoma of New Canaan likely to go varsity next fall and Trinity of Manchester returning in a lower division.
