Sherman did not mention anyone getting hurt, but he did say it was # 10 and # 3 that brought Ensworth back in the second half.

BA wins 27-24

not that I am aware. I have a friend at the game giving me periodic updates.

BA 27-24 with 6 minutes left in the 4th

BA 24-10 at halftime from someone at the game.

yes

BA is co-ed, as is Ensworth. Both chose to "play up" in a higher enrollment classification. The logic of doubling single sex schools (and this applies to Harpeth Hall and GPS, for example) is that the school has a larger pool of students to draw from than an equal sized co-ed school: in a 500 student co-ed school it would be expected that roughly 250 would be of the opposite sex, but in a single sex institution all 500 would be of one gender, hence a greater population of potential athletes to draw upon. Am I correct in this assesment?

I think the schools you list as having doubled enrollment is not because they give financial aid, but because they are single sex.

They (McCallie) had a game scheduled and when the opportunity to play Riverdale came along made arrangements to get out of the scheduled date in order to make the Riverdale game happen.

I believe stbulldog is correct: two divisions in DII, with the listed "AAA" teams, the "AA" teams, and JPII being in the "AA" division, while those listed in "A" will stay there.

I have been under the impression that the NFHS rule about recognizing only one sanctioning body per state is part of the problem as well; being that a game between two schools from different sanctioning bodies is not allowed. (And I think the penalties for such a contest can be quite harsh.) If the TSSAA wins, and there is a total split between public and private, I would expect discussion and possible future legal action in that area.

any word on the DII winners?

as someone on the periphery of chattanooga private schools, I can safely say that from what I've heard, and those people I have talked to, there is nothing but the utmost respect for Riverdale, their players, and their coaches from the McCallie people. I saw the game earlier in the year and was impressed by the sportsmanship shown by all those involved on the field. Coach A is a class act, and I wish him and his team well for the remainder of the season.

I watched it and had no problems. I thought the quality was very good as well. Looking forward to seeing Friday's game now.
