Baylor #4 in the state, West Knox #6...what happened to all the D-1 teams??? I think this is showing excellent growth in Lacrosse in the State of TN! Way to go guys! What happened with CBHS, Houston, and Franklin? I thought these teams were building for great seasons based on their records from last year. I reside in franklin and try to catch some of their home games, I heard some mutterings of coaching issues, but I still thought this team had some gusto to at least be .500 this year. Thoughts???

They don't have a choice from what I have heard. Apparently the league voted last year that the d-2 champion has to move up.

Its correct, I was at that game. Franklin was actually ahead 9-6 in the fourth, and Ravenwood came back to tie the game, then Franklin put it away with a minute left in OT.

Whoa there...I did not mean to insult, I was simply asking about results. I am sorry if I sounded insulting in anyway.

I figured it would have been a little closer than that, anyone see it? Did Ryan have all their players healthy?

how did the Franklin/Father Ryan game go?

What if Franklin Beats CBHS????

D-1 West conference is a mess, The east looks like its wrapped up with WBB being the odd man out unless they pull out a win against Farragut, any thoughts on the West?

Houston 11 CBHS 9

Thats a horrible attitude! You move up to have better competition , excel at the game, and give your team more opportunities. Thats why you move into D-1. D-2 is a developmental division and has done an excellent job producing great teams, but if you have been a team for 10 years or more, I really think you should be in D-1.

Looks Like Brentwood should be heading to D-1 Next year. Lets hope they make the right decision.

Ouch....Did MBA look that strong or did Franklin look that bad?

Did MBA and Franklin play today? If so who won, did anyone watch it?

Not so much, I actually just went to the TSSAA website and read what they offer, give it a shot.

Kids are buying their own equipment becasue they have too. I am sure if a school were to offer equipment they would take it and have the option to have thier own equipment. The TSSAA does support the program financially. It will sponsor tournaments, offer trophies, etc...You can check that information at http://www.tssaa.org/Handbook/handbook.pdf When I was referring to Scholarships and recruiting, I was talking about college, not high school programs. TSSAA could help with contacting colleges for high school students. The growth in popularity would grow in Tennessee if there were more teams which would be made possible if it was supported by the state. As for Travel, after reading over the TSSAA handbook. I noticed that they only allow one road game out of state. I am not a fan of that. I am sure tht rule could be up for discussion though. I agree that DII teams should move up, but I think the competition in DII is fine within that division. If a team is winning every year, then they should move up to keep the competition level constant. I am sure we could go round and round for the whole season about this issue, lets agree to disagree and see what happens.
