Seattle Schools Confirms Sports Change
Yes, all our comprehensive high schools will be moving to the Metro league (including Roosevelt, Ballard and Garfield). Roosevelt will be the second-largest in the league but keep in mind, they count ONLY the numbers of 10,11and 12th graders to decide school size. That's why Roosevelt will fit into the Metro league.
Boy, that will save transportation dollars AND be one less reason to change to later start times for high school students (and middle school, as well).

All it means for me is that there are now more schools for O'Dea and the other Catholic high schools in the conference to beat up.

This division ensures a SPS high school gets to play for the league championship and qualify for districts; otherwise, the Catholic schools would dominate and the SPS schools be locked out of playoffs entirely.
But with the addition of the three SPS schools, the league may need to go to three divisions or at least one SPS school if not two would need to be in the division with the private schools.

I guess you must be talking about football but there are many other sports in Metro that the Catholic schools don't dominate. Rainier Beach won the state title in boys basketball in 2012 & 2013.
- Go Vikings!
O'Dea dominates in football and baseball.
