This would require an extra week of playoffs, so drop week zero. Scheduling non district would be easier if games out of region did not count in standings.

This might not ever pass but in the four class group I'd have 12 districts in each to keep teams in each somewhat together, four from each district make the playoffs. Quads with 12 teams and the first four in a quad get a first round bye. It wouldnt be nearly as confusing as the current process since each district would get four teams in, no more, no less.

I have clues about the numbers, just not which they would use. There would be appear to be three options in Division I, after a complete split. These are for football schools only, some of the problem has been with dividing by all schools whether they have football or not. 3 Classes-96, 96, 96 Class A to Lewis County at 587 (1A/2A playoff break at Halls, 395) Class AA to Hardin County at 1123 (3A/4A playoff break at East Ridge, 829) Class AAA to Blackman at 2381 (5A/6A playoff break at Maryville, 1445) 4 Classes-72, 72, 72, 72 Class A to Scotts Hill at 502 Class AA to East Ridge at 829 Class AAA to Beech at 1297 Class AAAA to Blackman at 2381 5 Classes-58, 58, 58, 57, 57 Class A to Hampton at 429 Class AA to York at 669 Class AAA to Sequoyah at 955 Class AAAA to Gallatin at 1381 Class AAA to Blackman at 2381 There would probably be issues with each. Three class/six playoff classes, you have the same trouble with some teams not wanting to be in a regular season district with teams in a larger playoff class-even if it's not that much larger for most. You'd also probably still have the formula being used since a region might have two 1A teams and five from 2A playoffs, for example. Four classes is what I'd go with. Still, 72 teams divided into 16 districts makes for small groups, and divided into 8 leaves very little room for outside the region rivalry games. Five classes would probably work best if not for the travel for some teams with some regions spread out really wide. Division II, I'd let those teams basically work out their own classes. Ensworth, BA, would play at the higher level so the smaller schools wouldn't have to worry about facing them. A cutoff at 500 might put Lipscomb in with the big dogs, but if the division as a whole feels it's better for them to play small, then raise the cutoff or just judge each school individually.

All private to D2 small and large classes in D2, no real clue about the number in D1. I think in a D2 small with all in the amount of aid given would not be a big factor in competitiveness.

Next step would be how to divide the Division I teams. Without going into detail again, I say four classes with four playoff classes too.

Can they match ND's level of "commitment" since it will soon be those two, Boyd, Grace and Silverdale in a D2 region.

I get what was meant now, yes that is a district's option if they want to divide for scheduling or any other purposes. They just have to produce four teams for the region however it gets there.

The private schools around here have out of state players on their rosters so they may as well play out of state schools.

You think this isn't being looked into?

How are they still ranked?

I dont think the district would change mid classification cycle unless there was a huge shake up like all privates into Division II.

Signal Mt over Notre Dame, plays at Bledsoe tonight. All four still left go to the region. Winners tonight host.

I am.surprised Copeland was not a finalist. Not because the other 3 didn't deserve it but I thought being from the midstate would cancel each other out a little. The girl from Meigs would have been a good choice, makes no difference she is going to Lee, a quality Division II, so have Jenna Adams-McMinn Central, Hollie German-Polk and others there who could have gone Division I.

Notre Dame at Bledsoe tonight, CCS at Signal. All four in the region. Winners tonight host in the region.

Sequatchie 48-37 over Grundy, plays at CCS tomorrow night.

They're out.

A dome is planned after that.

7AA appears to be on tomorrow, 6 Grundy at 3 CCS and 5 Sequatchie at 4 Notre Dame. Girls games at 3 and 4 teams at the same time. Next round for each on Saturday, and weather could still come in early and mess things up.

It needs to begin mid-cycle.

School is out in Chattanooga again tomorrow.

Anfernee Hardaway's team back in 88-89 was beaten by Lang Wiseman and Bolton at the state, I don't remember their record but they were considered a huge favorite going in. Treadwell maybe?

It's not just about the team, it's the schools fault if they were unable to control the crowd.

Would a 5'5" backup post who didn't score a point the previous year have a spot "held"?

This topic won't end well, please everyone play nice.

Even against this schedule I did not see them losing half as many as they have so far.
