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....

Someone needs a Snickers.

Again it's not CA's fault the other schools can't beat 3A schools. . It's not CA's fault that the other schools are not good at sports. It's that schools fault. Perfect... ask yourself why is there such a drop off at Mt. Pleasant? The football teams and baseball teams were great at one time. I believe the baseball team was runner up in the state 3 times. What has happened? I guess it's CA's fault. Summertown is always good or very competitive. Why can't the small Maury Schools do the same? Bc they don't want it bad enough... they want things handed to them.

That is crazy! CA playing 2A Football beating much bigger schools. CA scheduled much bigger schools in basketball. Check out their up coming baseball schedule playing 3A tournaments. Geez... people. Staying Class A for them is not about avoiding competition.

Childish? It's a metaphor and I'm being serious. You agree with everyone that disagrees with me. Again I never said I had any affiliation with CA. I'm just more realistic have no respect for MCPS systems allowing the schools to teach there players to not better themselves by avoiding better competition.

Karl98 will agree with anyone who disagrees with me. I bet if someone on here told him Pig Poop was good to eat he would eat 2 bowls. You're right CA does out work all the other schools and the other schools don't put in the time.

# 1 All I gathered is now it's CA fault that a public schools student and family has no money? I didn't mean build gyms but fundraise to upgrade what public schools already have. Update Uniforms, upgrade weight rooms, raise money to send teams to strength and conditioning training like at Game Time Sports in the off season. # 2 You said it best most public school coaches are lazy. So lazy they won't allow AAU teams to use the gym. Or AAU directors to use gym for tournaments. Again that could be another fundraiser. For the most part the small public schools hire terrible coaches. # 3 Most those teams scheduled are being played bc the county rivals are too scared to schedule CA. Football played their Region. What it boils down to is CA made a commitment to improve athletics across the board by hiring quality coaches, admin, AD, upgrading to nice uniforms, nice facilities, etc... Boys basketball trained at Game Time during off season. The coaches, players, admin, AD, parents etc are committed to being good! All other schools age not as committed and want everything handed to them. The formula is this... Maury County Board is Education needs to dig deep into each Schools athlethic department. Start with the admin and AD. Then look into thr cosches. For example one of the small public schools has had the same AD for 10-15 years. That school has been below average or completely terrible in all sports minus golf but that was due to a select few individual golfers. Regardless the teams are wearing same uniforms 5-6 years, student sections aren't allowed to cheer and teams are terrible. It's time for that AD to be relieved of his duties.

Prentending what is going on? Go ahead and wave down the bus. I'm sure all those elementary kids will spill the beans. "Classic"

Your point is that nothing has ever be proved. TSSAA is probably getting tired of all these schools crying wolf.

How has wrong doings been identified? There has never been any type of suspensions, bands, or punishments. Just bc a parent or another source from another school throws out false allegations doesn't mean wrong doings ID by TSSAA.

I was hoping karl98 was boycotting this thread since he could careless about 10A and continues to post hear say while obviously living in the past. 1997 must be a touchy subject for him. Sounds like a victim.
