Will Hampton have to move up to 2A

[Bluengoldblood]

Schools in Division I playing football have been divided into five classes based on the total number of schools playing football; therefore, schools are classified as follows:

 

5A - Schools with an enrollment of 1,348 and above

4A - Schools with an enrollment of 961 to 1,347

3A - Schools with an enrollment of 675-957

2A - Schools with an enrollment of 364-673

1A - Schools with an enrollment of 361 and under

 

I hope they do not have to move up this is NET only chance at State Championship. 2005/06 enrollment per Blue Ribbon no child left behind was 466 which is way over the 361 cutoff.....

 

NET's only chance at a state champ? You are joking right? Until 3 years ago It was Cloudland that ruled NET. Now it is Hampton. It may be somebody else next year. The thing is, these smaller schools can't just reload every year. Dominate classes come and go in cycles up here. In 00,01,02,03 Cloudland was the only one that "had a chance" at a state title. Now it's Hampton. One thing is for sure, regardless of what happens with classification SOME SCHOOL up here will step up to the challenge of being the next contender. They always do.

I believe that not only Hampton but Oneida have over the 361 limit to be in single A. In fact there are some schools in AA that have less students then either of these schools. Could someone explain this to me?

 

You're right. TSSAA does not follow those guidelines because in some cases you might have some divisions with a lot more schools than in another. They take all of the schools and divide them by 5. Then they start with the lowest classification, placing each team in a classification based on their total enrollment until that division has met its limit. That way it is fair for all schools involved. They do this every four years. During the four year period, if a school's enrollment increases over 25%, then the following year they will be placed in the next highest division. Remember, the previous circumstance can only take place if it occurs in the three year period between the mandated TSSAA reclassification years. So a school can start with a lower enrollment, but during that time if it does not jump over 25%, then that school will remain in the division it was placed originally. Hope this helps.

Even if Hampton has to move up, they will dominate Region 1. They should have no problem with the likes of G-P and Cumberland gap.

 

 

Your joking right. The last time Hampton was moved to 2A they were GP's personal whipping post and CG has one of the best passing offenses 2A has seen in a while. If you have any question about how Hampton would do in 2A just look at the scores from games such as GP - Midway in the past couple of years. There is a much bigger gap between competition in A and 2A football than you would like to think.

You might need to do a little checking yourself, Hampton had Happy Valley DOWN 29 TO 0 at the end of the 1st quarter , the jvs hit the field. Region 2 would be Hamptons problem. You will get a dose of that come Friday.

Using Happy Valley is not the best example, they were 4-7 this year!

What does it matter ,both GP and Hampton played them, Hampton destroyed them while GP beat them 28 to 14.

Ok, here is abetter example. Last year CG won the 2A conference. Coalfield beat CG and then Hampton destroyed Coalfield by 3 TD's...

I'll give you that one. But Happy Valley, come on now Pujo, I know that you can come with something better.

Check your facts. GP won the conference last year with South Greene second and CG third. How about this example. Last season Hampton beat Cosby 28-21. Midway beat the same Cosby team 36-14 the week after they got hammered by GP 45-7 with starters resting from the second half of the 2nd quarter on.

Hampton has made a run of it as 2A. Got knocked out by Knox Webb after we beat them to death everywhere but the scoreboard, and that is where it counts. Webb went on to win state, I think. Bring 2A on, cause I know there are alot of 2A who couldn't make it in 1A.

And where was Midway come playoff time?????? Ask anyone who was there, we lost our starting tailback against

Cosby, and I beleive that anyone would agree that Cosby lost alot of wind after that game because of the huge buildup. Doesn't matter though, we will compete in 2A just fine.
