Have heard that an option out there for DII is to have a "Super 12" division of the 12 largest private schools, then divide the remaining schools by size. IF that were true, how would it look? Well, according to TSSAA numbers, it would look something like this if all schools opted to go D2: AAA (Super 12) Baylor Brentwood Briarcrest Christian Brothers Father Ryan Knox Catholic Knox Webb Lipscomb MBA McCallie PJP II St Benedict AA District 1 East Boyd CAK CCS Grace Christian Notre Dame Silverdale District 2 East BGA CPA Davidson Ensworth Franklin Road Goodpasture District 1 West St George USJ Trinity JCS Harding District 2 West Evangelical Christian MUS Northpoint Lausanne First Assembly A District 1 East Concord Christian Grace Baptist Kings Academy St Andrews TN Christian District 2 East DCA Ezell-Harding MJCA MTCS Zion District 1 West Clarksville Academy Columbia Academy Friendship Christian Grace Franklin Nashville Christian District 2 West Fayette Memphis Cath Rossville Tipton Rosemark

Word is that Tennessee Christian in Cleveland will be joining TSSAA in D2

Rumors of who has applied: Courtney Braswell - DC Bradley(former assistant at Central) Drew Akins- OC Ooltewah Tony Webb - HC Lookout Valley Toby McKenzie - HC Tenn Christian (former assistant at Central) David Gann - HC North Murray (GA) Tim James - Assistant Lafayette (GA)(former assistant at Central)

Saw this topic and could not believe the coincidence. Just saw a head coach this morning who was talking about Chatt Central and said he got his first job in coaching there in 2005 as running back coach. Said that those boys deserve a quality coach and one that isn't looking to it a a "lay over" job.

Don't really follow either team, but saw it listed in paper today. Sale Creek has two lopsided losses to Richland and Copper Basin. Got first win against upstart Concord Christian. TC has played two ranked opponents in Boyd and Rockwood and a loss at Oliver Springs. They were up at half at OS. Anyone's thoughts?

They played a JV schedule last year except for Copper Basin. Not sure why. But after watching some of their highlights online, they have got some athletes. That FB is a beast. Kinda reminds me of the kid Polk had a few years ago. I think OS, SC, TP, LC, GB, LV, and CB are all winnable for them. Now back to this game. Final score? I predict 48-14. TCPS score a TD in first half and in 2nd after Boyd pulls some starters.

Here is Tennessee Chriistian schedule according to their website: 8/21 @ Boyd 8/28 @ Oliver Springs 9/4 @ Rockwood 9/11 vs Sale Creek 9/18 vs Lancaster Christian 9/25 @ Tellico Plains 10/9 @ Grace Baptist 10/16 vs Copper Basin 10/23 @ Lookout Valley 10/30 @ Sweetwater If they asked for the game then I gotta give them some props. They said they'd play you when others in the area refused. They'll lose but they're supposed to. I do see some winnable games on their schedule. Maybe finish 3-7, 4-6. That's a good season for a 1st year program.

I heard the other day that they plan on joining TSSAA in 2017

Talked to their head coach the other day at Jenkins. I know they will have some homeschoolers next year and that they have had some transfers from Bradley and Chatt Central. Also, had kids from other schools in Bradley that don't have football (the really small private schools). He said the plan is to join TSSAA in 2017 after the whole public/private decision is made by the board. This is an up and coming program and is really looking to establish themselves like Boyd has. It will take some time but I think he coached at Boyd a few years ago so he knows what a great program like that looks like from the inside.

According to the Cleveland Banner: TCPS 44-0 over Gordon Lee TCPS 55-12 over Polk

Not sure what the final score will be. I think Basin wins this one, but I would not be surprised if they were in for a fight. Know TCPS coach well, they are trying to build the athletic program and the school the right way. It may be a couple of years, but soon they will be a heck of a team here in Bradley County.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but seeing as how Allen is always "looking", I thought that the Purple faithful would like some numbers crunched. Central may in fact be better off if Allen was to leave, according to the numbers. Allen at Bradley, 2005 (1-9) 10% winning Bradley since, 2006-2013 (41-40) 50.6% Allen at Silverdale, 2006-2010 (23-29) 44 % Silverdale since, 2011-2013 (21-8) 72% Allen at Central, 2011-2013 (8-19) 29% As they say on ESPN, numbers never lie So, as an outsider looking in I just wanted to see what the records said. I wish Central the best of luck with the rest of the year. You guys (especially the players) deserve a great season.

Congrats to the Cherokees on a big win. Sounds like the running game was on fire. Over 400 yards rushing. Can't wait for the Bradley/Cleveland game. Will determine 2nd in district. Should be a great game. Y'all's offense is awesome. Hope our defense can contain it.
