TSSAA FOOTBALL CLASSIFICATIONS

[OldRebel2]

Where can you find out how each board member voted? I see numbers(5-4) (6-3) but no names attached.

 

 

According to the quote from Lynn Brown in the Maryville-Alcoa Daily Times, Mr. Brown voted for the new plan and "Board members Mike Tribune of McGavock High School, Bryan True of Summertown, Chuck West of Dresden and Ike White of Memphis Hamilton voted against the newly approved plan, Brown said."

 

"Mike Reed of Morristown West, Tommy Layne of Sequatchie County, Jerry Mathis of Tullahoma and Fred Kessler of Boliver Central joined Brown in voting for the Z-plan, he said."

yes you play all the teams in your district then if you makes the playoffs you are put in to the proper class based on school size

 

by the way ELA this is what Franklin COunty district will probably be

 

Franklin County

Lincoln County

Coffee County

Tullahoma

Shelbyville

Columbia

Larwenceberg

 

Playoff Breakdown

 

6A teams

Franklin County

Lincolin County

Coffee County

Columbia

 

5A teams

Tullahoma

Shelbyville

Larwence County

 

Same District 8A AA that is in place for basketball,Baseball softball and Soccer and might i add in basketball this has become one of the tougher districts in middle tennessee good competion year in and year out

 

 

Yes, that is what they told us at the football coaches meeting if the Z Plan was approved; however, the numbers could change between now and September and Lawrence Co could move in another direction. The question for Marshall County was are their numbers going up or staying the same?

 

Either way, I certainly have no problem with this district... we will still try to keep Warren County on our schedule!

[Rhea Co.]

I'm probably wrong but I thought the top two teams in each district, regardless of postseason breakdown, earned the automatic bids. In this district, for example, it could be Bradley and Ooltewah.

 

 

Could be. It is confusing how they are trying to explain how the play-offs are going to work. But even still the only team out of the 6A that has a shot right now of the best district record will be Ooltewah. If Soddy were to turn their program then maybe two 6A could get the bids, but 5A in this district is the better half of this district. It wouldn't surprise me if the best two team out of this district is from 5A.

I don't see why they just didn't go to 4 classes accross the board. Split the lowest into two classes if need be. That seems like the most logical compromise of all parties to me.

 

It'll work well in the regular season, but come playoff time.......wow.

The Tennessean has a break down of how the districts would look if they used current numbers.

I was close on the Sumner Co. Teams with Hendersonville, Beech, Gallatin, Portland and Station Camp as well as Mt. Juliet and Lebanon.

 

I think it's a good start as to where expectations can be. They even broke teams down to 5A and 6A.

 

white house might play up to add to this district

[LSMFT]

ela,

 

If I am looking at this right you would have to come up with 4 nondistrict games. I would bet a dollar you could find a way to keep an easy win like Warren Co.

[MaryvilleRebels]

Your own Lynn Brown voted for it.

 

 

Don't ever call Lynn Brown my own. That man is a retard. Not to mention he is pretty much good for nothing. However, if there are two things he can't stand its "Thieves and liars, liars and thieves!" (anyone who went to Maryville will get that).

[MaryvilleRebels]

Sorry about the post above... I sounded angry. I am just not a fan of Lynn. We will leave it at that.

 

Question:

 

Maryville will have 9 teams in their district. 2 from 5A and the rest from 6A. So do the two 5A teams automatically make the playoffs? A district with 4 5A teams and 4-5 6A teams makes sense, but Maryville's district has me scratching my head.

 

P.S. Lynn Brown is a moron. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

How could it be an easy win? WC has beaten them the last two years! Ask Cleveland how easy WC was during the spring game.

[tdntn]

in a place like rutherford county, i dont see how this will work yet...im pretty sure all our schools will qualify for 6A

*Does not play football

[cbg]

Having 8 State Champions in football (6 in D1 & 2 in D2) is crazy and just plain stupid. The state of California only has 3 state champions in football and they have more high schools in the city of Los Angeles than are in the state of Tennessee. What do the schools in Tennessee want a mailorder football state championship that isn't worth the walnut base that holds the gold ball?
