Did Any 1-2A Teams Request To Move Up

[TheAmbassador]

The deadline has passed. The main board shows some

larger schools requesting to go from 4A to 5A. Has anyone in 1-2A confirmed?

I can confirm that Cloudland will remain 1A

Thank you for the update. The only other team in question for 1A I believe was Greenback. Good chance The Greenback of Oz end up with Cloudland in region 1. LMBO Edited October 25, 2016 by TheAmbassador

Greenback won't go 2A unless TSSAA puts them in Region 1-1A. I'm guessing they will try to appeal it after regions are released if need be.

I don't see any appeal working. They will not let any region only have 4 teams and all 4 go to the playoffs. Every region will have 5 or more teams.

What about Memphis East? People said it was a done deal they were moving up from 2a.

4 teams going is too many in reality.  From 1969 to 72 only 4 teams went.  From 1974 through 1977 only 8 teams went.  Then from 1978 through 1984, 16 teams went (1 from each of 16 districts, 2 districts per region).  Then it went to 32 teams from 1985 through 92 or 93 with 1st and 2nd place teams making it from each district.  This was during the A, AA and AAA era.  Maybe region champs should get a bye and 2nd and 3rd place teams square off in the 1st round.

All about the $$$$$$. 6 classes are too many also. Way to watered down.

The D2 classes are watered down as well. It is watered down, but small rural schools like Coalfield and Greenback having less than 200 students potentially having to play schools with 500 or so students isn't a good deal either. The way they have divided them this time is the best way. They ranked every team from largest to smallest. Then they pretty much went down the line counting teams and seperating them by classes. Other states use a similar method. I'm surprised that the other sports don't have 6 classes. That's the biggest part I don't understand why they didn't divide it into 6 for all major sports.
