BruinBabe Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Privates are out with exception of Knox Catholic. My friends at Father Ryan say they will be forced in by fall or face a stiff challenge and/or penalty. They are trying to classify the scholarship money from the church as "loans". Page bumped up to AAA. The privates leaving open up A and AA big time. Anderson County is back in AA where they were a wrecking ball for 20 years. They have to be an early favorite. AAA is Brentwood, no real challenger. Webb's ride of only play in a 6 team small school private division and then calling it a "State Championship" is over. Should be a fun season. My so early they mean nothing picks are AAA Wood AA Anderson A Sale Creek Div 2 Large Baylor Div 2 Small CAK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachboy Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Where is Knox Catholic slated to play for volleyball. I read in the paper where they placed the football team, but do not know who the vb team will be with. Are they with Farragut, HV and that district?

I read in the paper where they placed the football team, but do not know who the vb team will be with. Are they with Farragut, HV and that district? They are still AA at the moment. Here is their new region and district...for now: Region 2 District 3 Alcoa High School (Alcoa, TN) Austin-East High School (Knoxville, TN) Carter High School (Strawberry Plains, TN) Fulton High School (Knoxville, TN) Knoxville Catholic High School (Knoxville, TN) Knoxville Central High School (Knoxville, TN) District 4 Anderson Co.

beachboy Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Summary Judgement, thanks for the info. Sure is a different look from past AA districts. It will be interesting to see how all of this shakes out. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigchief Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 South Greene would have to be the favorite in A now that Goodpasture has moved on. They never could get past them. The Knox Catholic saga is far from over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruinBabe Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 What do you mean? I just put together that Knox Catholic was still in public. All of the middle Tennessee catholic schools had to go private because the church pays part of the tuition. I went to Ryan. How did the Knoxville Catholic school get a waiver?

bigchief Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 There is no waiver. They are saying they will not have tuition assistance. Just don't believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachboy Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Has Knox Catholic had tuition assistance in the past and still played against public schools? Hmmm, that would be interesting to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruinBabe Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 As a Catholic school grad, it is a huge selling point. At Ryan we had part of our tuition paid by our local Parrish. I cannot imagine that Knox Catholic will stop what is a universal practice among Catholic schools. As good as their football team is this sounds like a suspension waiting to happen. Back on topic, what are your too early predictions? Do you think anyone can challenge the Wood? I saw Baylor, Webb, CAK, Anderson County last year. Baylor will be tough the next two years, I thought Anderson County looked great as a AAA team, they will be tough to handle as AA. I also like CAK. What do you Knoxville guys think?

TeeterTot Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 The new alignment did no favors to anybody in AAA except for Williamson county schools. The way I see it, this realignment has opened the door to a 3rd WilCo team to be in Murfreesboro come State time. Brentwood was going to win the district for the next 4-5 years and probably state too. This will now allow 2 more teams in from WilCo; Franklin, Ravenwood, Centennial, and others have to be excited about this. WilCo easily has the deepest talent in the state year in and year out.

Brentwood was not amused by the plan and appealed to the TSSAA to be moved back. They won and were put back in with the rest of the Willco schools. Dickson County was flipped and they are now with the Davidson Co. schools. The addition of Page makes this district even more brutal now.

BruinBabe Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Best District in the State, hands down. I like the addition of Page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
