This is one of the silliest threads I've seen on this website. The TSSAA didn't create the classification system for arbitrary reasons. There is a purpose for the classifications. I find humor in you all justifying your argument by saying your school beat a larger one last year. If you all want to be respected throughout the state as one of the "big boys," move up to 5a, no one is stopping you. Simply put, smaller schools cannot compete with the top large schools on a consistent basis.
