After carefull analysis and number crunching here are some of the more intresting possiblities for class changes. This observation is made after removing current DII schools and making the likely assumption that a few more privates will go DII after the instituion of the 1.8 multiplier. This also does not take into account teams playing up by choice.
1A- Seems likely that Mt. Pleasant, Trousdale, and McKenzie will play small ball.
2A- Smith County, and York Institute looks as if they will return to AA.
3A- Fairview and Cheatham County are possibly moving up. Chester
County and Station Camp as well as White House are a definite 3A
schools for the next 4 years. Also Dyersburg and Haywood County will move
down to 3A. Memphis East could possibly slide down to 3A as well.
4A- Portland looks reasonably fixed as a 4A team, along with Springfield and
Jackson Northside (although Northside could, maybe, slide to 3A). Page will be
a solid 4A team as will Henry County coming down from 5A. Mt. Juliet will be
4A and Munford as well. Here's a biggie, Brentwood, Glencliff, and Oakland all
have an outside shot of slipping to 4A!
5A- Nothing significant due to overall numbers seeming to be down a little this
year. Antioch is now the biggest school in the state at 2461...WOW!
