True. Then maybe it takes TSSAA 2 years to classify everything so the request has to be placed 2 years in advance. But as posted above saying CA's best players return so they are waiting so they have another year is not the reason I'm sure.

No thanks.

Agreed!

My understanding is TSSAA plans Districts, Regions and Classifications on a 2 year cycle. So that is why CA has submitted a request for the 2019-2020 school year.

Each school is eventually going to have a down year and bad season. But when schools have a tradition of bad seasons over and over then yes the work hasn't been put in and most the time it's a result of bad coaching. Please let's not debate Maury County Jr High Basketball. We all know those championships mean little in High School since the results don't carry over. One particular school has dominated girls Jr high basketball for years but there hasn't been any high school district championships and the same result over and over in the region with first round losses. I think one year a sub state appearance was made. After Jr High kids grow, some kids don't they may have the "man child" that had already peaked, kids stop playing, kids leave, new kids arrive, etc... Jr High Sports is good for the competitive nature for they age but again little results for the High School level.

Congrats everyone. You all can take off your diapers and stop your crying. I predict this will have a worse affect on all small MCPS in the end when more and more student athletes grow tired of the lack of support from the admin, AD's who won't and don't put in the work to insure all sports programs are successful and the ridiculous bad coaching so the students parents pull them out for CA when they see the importance that CA puts into the athletic programs.

You're probably right thanks to Karl98. I don't even know why this has been a debate. He knows everything that goes on at CA so it should have ended with his first post. We all should of agreed with him and been done.

What I'm asking through? What? I'm only going off Karl98 comments.

Of course you don't. You disagree with everything I say. But what are you saying? You saying his family can't afford it? Why is that? Do you know them? What are you making your judgement off of? Explain please?

Matter of fact it was.

I'll say this... I have very close ties with a players family from a few years back that was District MVP in Basketball twice, All Region Football and All District Baseball and I can promise you 100% without a doubt tell you that the players tuition was paid for by his family and there was NO, NONE, ZERO financial assistance. All the other schools have this mind set that if a great athlete is at CA his tuition is paid. It's not the case and it's an old argument. Raiderforlife are you a Richland Fan?

It does matter but you have crap coaches with crap admins and AD's kids who care about sports transfer out of the schools and that don't just leave for some where like CA. Let me clarify that so someone don't jump on here saying they leave to go to CA. They leave for their best option. Central, Spring Hill, CA, Summertown, etc....
