Who is hosting some play dates May 29-31?

AJHS starts two 6th graders, four 7th graders, and a few 8th graders. I thinks Adamsville will be fine. Selmer Middle has 14 8th graders. We will be ok.

Yes they have all sports classified together.

With the money being generated by the four classes, the TSSAA will never go back to 3 classes in my opinion. Mississippi is going to 7 classes next year which I think is crazy to say the least. Some classes will only have 25-30 teams in them.

It was the Uconn/Gonzaga game played March 25.

Did anyone see the UCONN/Gonzaga game? There is a lot of discussion about the state tournament being watered down with too many classifications. Gonzaga is an outstanding team and they got hammered by 30 points in the elite 8. With the way the game is played today, that can happen to a lot of good teams if the other team is hitting three's and rolling. Happens all the time at all levels. It is just today's game. Do some teams get in they aren't state caliber teams? Absolutely. Do some really good teams get in and get blown out? Absolutely.

I'm not saying that is going to happen, but with the TSSAA you just never know how they handle Memphis districts and regions. I really don't see the Memphis teams having but two districts in the new cycle. It should be interesting.

I think if you just swap Ripley and Liberty that could be the districts in 13 & 14. They could send Ripley to one of the Memphis districts too. Memphis could get three districts again. Two four team districts and one with 5 teams if Ripley moves in. Who knows with the TSSAA?

If I read correctly off of the TSSAA website, the districts and region alignments should be out before the November 17th board of control meeting.

Classification will be released tomorrow. Districts and Region alignments will be soon after that.

Michael Odom did a really good job of breaking down the possible new districts. It looks like in 2A Memphis will only have two districts this upcoming cycle. Adamsville, JCM, Liberty, Madison, Riverside, and Scotts Hill could be a new district. Huntingdon, Gibson County, Peabody, Westview, and Milan could be another district. Not sure where they will put Camden and Ripley. Those two districts will likely be Region opponents, with the sectionals coming out of Memphis. That looks like a pretty good scenario.

Enrollment numbers are out!! Anxious to see the cutoffs. Several schools will be moving classifications regardless where the cutoffs are. Should be interesting.

At the administrators meeting this week, the TSSAA announced that all enrollment numbers are in and they are waiting for the state to verify those numbers. That should take a few days to get that done. As soon as they are verified the numbers will be released along with the classification breakdowns. District alignments will soon follow after that so all schools can look and see if the want to appeal, or move up, etc.

Our (Adamsville) official enrollment that we turned in a couple of weeks ago is 445. We lost a lot of kids to Covid and they just haven't returned.

Once they are in and some simple math we should know where the classification breakdowns should be. I think a lot of schools are anxious to see where the cut-off numbers will be this time.
