Schools possibly moving up in classification.

[smokefb]

Please post schools who will be moving up when classifications are released. I know Elizabethton is most likely moving up. Anyone else?

I believe Summertown will move from 1A to 2A in football.

Pearl Cohn from 3A to 4A

I believe Summertown will move from 1A to 2A in football.

Why would a new program that is 1A in all sports want to move to 2A in football?

I think he misunderstood the topic and the first post in this thread. Which is ' who will move up after classifications are released.'

 

 

Summertown has been classified as 2A.    And I think he was saying he believed they would be classified as such. Therefore 'having' to move up - not meaning 'electing' to move up. Capiche?

Elizabethton announced they will request to move up to 4A.

I've heard Giles County will play up in 4A, and also hearing Alcoa and Memphis East.

PC and Alcoa have that option since both are classified in 3a. Memphis East is 2a so 3a is the highest they can move

I am pretty sure they can skip a class now.

I don't see it happeneing. If your the largest 4a team and they tell a school they have to move up to 5A because a 2a school with 450 studenta want to play in 4a, it wont be a pretty picture. If all three school move up like some think then that would put current 3a school liberty tech up to 5A for an example

I was thinking Memphis east had a football co op agreement with Soulsville. Too bad the TSSAA does not have the guts to add Soulsville numbers to East numbers fort football. It would be the right thing to do and it would put them in 3A where they really belong. However I don't see Memphis east growing a set and playing up in both football and HOOPS
