What I tend to think as well.

Entire Gibson County School System network is currently under repair.

Westview is currently #1

Great bunch of athletes and kids overall. Blessed to coach them in middle school. Should've won a gold ball their senior year in 2006. Let JCS out of Tiptonville with a "gift victory." Eagles then boat raced Mt. Pleasant in semis and beat Friendship Chr. in an All-Private final. Tough pill to swallow back then. Last years title helped erase some bad taste.

Was that Quan and Sep?

You have 7-2A a three way tie if Adamsville beats McKenzie with all having 6 overall wins. McKenzie would have 7 and win tiebreaker. Union City would then be 3. due to head-to-head over Adamsville.

District 1 and maybe another might need some adjustment but I had thought about something like this as well. There are pros & cons to merging rural west with midwest for sectional games. The first sub-state game I ever broadcast was 1979 when Westview girls visited Giles County. Unfortunately classification is the same for both girls and boys. This setup would allow only two teams to advance from Regions 9-12. That would be a shame if you look at the programs that would be meeting in the sectional. Girls teams from Memphis below AAA that made state have been few/far between recently. On the other hand, rural west boys teams would surely welcome not having to advance into a sectional with a Memphis team and would have a better shot at the Glass House. My guess, based on previous experience, is Memphis will stay in one region in the lower classifications.

Adjustment with Rockwood likely puts Halls/Peabody in Class A. Tide will move up but think Halls would welcome Class A. This could influence where McKenzie ends up for sure.

I have Mustangs as #83

I have double checked my list and still only have 328 basketball schools. I guess I've missed someone but here's why the number is important. With Loretto/Summertown adjusted now, does the extra school go in Class A? If so, Huntingdon remains in Single A.

I may be missing one. Quite possible.

Dyer County is just where McCord wants them. He's campaigned for four classes all along. I was hoping Dyersburg would be AAA if, for no other reason, Trojans and Choctaws would have to play each other. Great rivalry that's been missing. Kids want it, adults just need to behave.

Yes, Camden has been in a district across the river for several years. Best guess is Camden/Huntingdon are in Dist. 11 with Waverly & Stewart Co. at the very least. The two Hickman schools may be there two. Would expect Lewis Co. to be in Dist. 12. May end up totally wrong but I've dealt with TSSAA for 40 years and have some feel for the process they use.

If the only adjustments are in the Lawrence Co. schools, I believe Dyersburg is at top of AA. You have to look at the whole state when projecting districts. TSSAA will, to some extent, try to balance numbers. AA will lean west some so I expect Huntingdon & Camden to continue to be shipped east and be Region 6 teams. The question in AA West is will Haywood be in 13 or 14. My experience is they use longitude so I expect Haywood to be in 13 with Westview, Union City, Milan, Dyersburg, & Gibson Co.

That's what I've got if Memphis schools are correct.

People are questioning the drop in enrollment for a few schools as to whether its a clerical error. I've got to raise the question again, where did all these kids come from in Shelby County schools? 9 schools reported a total decrease of 933 students. The other 37 schools reported a total increase of 4,675. That's an increase of 3,742! Most of the increases were at schools who have been dropping over the past decade. If they're correct I'm glad to see these schools thriving once again. But, if there was unintended misreporting, that many schools changing could greatly influence where schools are going to fall!

I have 328 total which would be an even 82 in each. Double checked it against member directory for sponsored sports. Unless a school declares to add basketball for next year I think that's the number. Going to hold off on who's on the bubble because I believe at least one school's real number will put them in a higher class.

I see that now here on CoachT. They don't have football in their member directory so don't know whether to count them or not. All our speculation may be for nothing if some schools numbers are not right yet.

Think Southtowner' s breakdown looks pretty accurate except I have 293 football schools. According to member directory, Memphis Business does not play football. That could change cutoffs a bit in 3A-6A. Locally, depending on where those cuts are, Obion Co. could drop to 3A & Dyer Co. to 4A.

This game's winner basically earns an extra playoff game in all likelihood. With Memphis teams out, loser will get Peabody in Week 2 after all get a bye. Winner puts off the Tide until quarter finals.

As I plugged in the new enrollments there are some interesting changes in two years. Differences in the three Lawrence County schools have already been addressed and according to JVaughn this was a numbers mistake from the system office that will be fixed. There are several other schools with large drops. Some were caused by opening of new schools. Others are curious. Here in West Tennessee, I notice Riverside and Camden both down 88 students, while Haywood dropped by 189. Not sure what would explain these large swings. Apparently Liberty’s decrease went to Northside/South Side. Someone elsewhere might have insight to decreases from schools like Red Boiling Springs, Whites Creek, Grundy Co., Union Co., Station Camp, Chattanooga Central, & Ooltewah What may be most amazing to me is the apparent influx of students into Memphis City schools. Used to shifting enrollments there but not these type changes. The following schools showed significant increases from two years ago. BT Washington 205-345 Soulsville Charter 256-356 Westwood 269-373 Oakhaven 315-398 KIPP Memphis 402-485 Freedom Prep 310-508 Crosstown 369-535 East 345-544 Mem. Business 402-563 Trezevant 387-563 Power Center 421-651 Douglass 500-666 Hamilton 362-704 Raleigh-Egypt 515-716 Melrose 523-791 Overton 1060-1329 Kingsbury 1180-1334 Codova 1933-2252 Don’t think anyone has intentionally skewed the numbers but believe TSSAA may still have some work to do before they can take next step toward classification.

Next season, 21-22.

I did not stream any of the meetings so I don't know. He originally said only four would come to the Boro but that changed today. You now have 28 games to play compared to 21. Starting on Monday would require alterations in current schedule since that Monday of girls is also boys sectional night & turn-around would be too quick from girls sectional on Saturday. Don't see the tourney being spread over six days but I guess they have some tentative plan. Several years ago, when there was only one D-2 class, the tourney was held with four classes starting on Tuesday. I cannot remember how it was organized however.

Now that four classes are official and they voted to continue to send 8 teams to state tournament, I will resurrect this thread and see how you'd like to have it organized.
