Reclassifications in 2009 in 4A and 5A statewide

They used numbers from January 2006 for the 2007-2008 school year, so maybe they will use January 2008 numbers for 2009 reclassification. If so these hypothetical classes may not be too far off except for new schools and schools affected by the new schools. I didn't know the numbers they used were 1 1/2 years old, that helps explain why some schools are so far over the limits of a particular class.

 

tssaa will use the ADA numbers from schools. These are numbers the school report to the state for funds.

Each school must report to the state the numbers of students present each day. They do this in 20 days periods.

tssaa will chose one of the 20 day period and use these numbers to set the classes.

Have any idea where I could access those numbers online?

You can get them from the tssaa home page but they only have the numbers from 2004-05 because they are the number used after a 2 year period to see if any school increase or decrease by 20%. If they did and because of the increase of decrease move them to another class. The numbers for the next classification will be some time this school year no one know what period they will use. They should be posted next fall.

Someone explain to me. How is Henry County 4A??? I wish all the Clarksville schools could be 4A and Northeast gets the shaft. Why is HC 4A? if those numbers are right then I count 1435 students that is 4 less then what you have for Gallatin. That is more than Glencliff, Ravenwood, Brentwood and someother 5A's. Do they have to count what ever that Grove school means? If they do not have to count them, then that is unfair. They were 5A before. Did they make them count those kids then and not now? Someone help me with this one, but if those numbers on this thread are right, then no way are they 4A. They should have to suffer like Northeast and be put up in a higher class and have to travel places. I remember when Northeast was 4A they went 7-4 and 8-3 two back to back years. Now they have to go all the way to places like Independence and get beat.

 

Someone explain!!

Tennessee is such a small state population wise I wish it would go back to the old A AA AAA days. At least that way winning a state championship would actually mean something. I have to admit I think it takes some of the luster off a BA title when the entire classification only had 10 teams. Heck, there used to be regions that large or larger. And while we are at it how about only letting the top two teams from each region make the playoffs like the old days, I am sick and tired of seing a 2-8 team make the playoffs each year. How about we quit keeping score and give everybody trophies while were at it.

 

 

 

Good post. I don't think you can necessarily say Tennessee is a "small state" population-wise (I think we are 15th or 16th in population), but it certainly is not big enough to need 5 classes. I think that four classes would be optimal, unless they do away with the Public/Private split altogether, which I would be for as long as there is a multiplier for the BA's, MBA's, and Ensworth's of the world. Then, you could maybe justify five classes. Otherwise, just have four D-I classes, two D-2 classes, and championships would mean more.

Three things will happen when Maryville moves up to 5A in the 09 season.

 

#1. A lot of 4A coaches will be really happy.

 

#2. A lot of 5A coaches will be really sad.

 

#3. Maryville will be playing in the last game on the first Saturday of December in Murfreesboro instead of the second game.

I first want to say that Maryville has an awesome program and has been tremendous over the past 8-10 years. I do however think it would be tougher to accomplish those things at 5A. Playing the likes of Oak Ridge, DB, Bearden, William Blount, Farragut, and a few more week in week out is a little stronger than some of the 4A teams they play. Also being at the top of the cut off # at 4A and being on the low end # of 5A is a world of difference. I am not cuting their program at all I am just saying it would be harder to duplicate the results.

I agree but I think Maryville will do pretty well in 5A.

 

There will be another HS in Knox County (Hardin Valley Academy) which will begin in '08 with about 1000 students but should quickly be 1500+ so they should be another 5-A.

 

 

What schools will be affected when this school opens?

    • We have 2 PG's that will be added to the lineup and another guard and all are athletic and can handle ball pressure. Gibson County beat Westview 4 times in 2024. Westview brought in a Miss Basketball Candidate from South Fulton last year and you want to say Gibson County has a mental hump against Westview. I tell you what you put her on Gibson County's squad and Westview would have had a mental hump. Here is a fact. They wouldn't have won it without her last year. Last I looked Gibson County has played with who we got on our campus. Let's see how Westview does this year with who they got on their campus. I do think they will be pretty good but I don't like shots being taken at my school especially from Westview. 
    • Smith County fans are delusional is they are wanting to get rid of Dyer. If they think they are supposed to be some powerhouse of a football program that wins 10+ games every year they need a reality check. Never have been that good of a football program and probably never will. It’s too hard for a small rural place to be consistently good every single year 
    • If you’re talking about when they lost to Corbin HS out of Kentucky(4A school in KY) in 2017, they lost by 1 point and Corbin went 14-2 that year in Kentucky so to say they got “taken behind the woodshed by a mediocre out of state team” is a bit of a stretch. You act like Alcoa never loses at all. They lose games every year, granted mostly to Maryville but other teams have beaten them in the regular season. Alcoa just turns into another animal in the playoffs. Winning is a learned skill and it’s an advantage that Alcoa has over everyone when the postseason rolls around  
    • Carthage is returning QB will be his 3rd years starting and a Jr.He should be coming around.A soph tailback that got a lot of exp as a freshman.Biggest problem is the line.They have a couple of good athletes that will make plays but the rest still remain to be seen.Size is not a problem.New OC will be interesting.He is known to be a trickster but a genius in some peoples mind.Coach Dyer better get the ball rolling.I'm hearing a lot of eyes will be on him this year.GO OWLS
    • If Alcoa keeps winning titles after moving to 4a it makes the whole state look weak.  Havent they won 10 in a row or something.  My god how can a team win 10 in a row, and the 1 time they went and played a kentucky 3a team they got there ace's beat.  Some redbone coonhound team handled business on them, but they can constantly win 3a in tennessee.  I remember at the time looking up that redbone coonhound team that beat them, and found out that team is made fun of across the state of kentucky cause they havent won a title in like close to 50 years.  Think i seen they are now in 4a in kentucky, and they never won a title in the last 40-50 years no matter if they are 2a, 3a, or 4a but somehow was able to take alcoa behind the woodshed in the midst of there title run about 5-8 ,years ago dont remember the year.  Point is it looks bad when a team gets there hind end whooped like a 3 legged rented mule to a mediocre out of state team the 1 time they play them, but can dominate the whole state in 3a for over a decade.  Someone has to start beating them.
