Privates going DII?

By enrollment numbers, FRA could drop down just like Ezell. However I am sure FRA will go ahead and move to D2. CPA as well. DCA is not a lock yet.

 

 

Had a JCS parent tell me last week that it had already been decided and announced that they would be making the jump. I can't find anything to confirm it?

No mass exodus as of yet. I would say the # 1.8 has something to do with it; although TSSAA's research seems to indicate otherwise. We'll see how this plays out over the next several months.

 

 

TSSAA can spit out all the research that they want to. I have to say it was a great day for Jo Byrns when they put the multiplier in. That high school show on friday nights once called us the poster child for the private school multiplier and I have to agree it certainly helped having the private schools gone from our region. We still have a couple though

Wow what is causing the mass exodus to DII?

 

More private schools are considering the jump because of the new football classes. The regular season there will be 3 classes. Post season it will be 6 classes. For example, USJ and JCS are projected 2A in the regular season, and 3A in the post season. I am pastng the district they are projected to be in.

 

District 14: 3A - Camden, Jackson Central-Merry, Jackson Christian School, University School of Jackson; 4A - Bolivar, Chester County, Lexington, Liberty, McNairy Central, South Side

That is very interesting. This is the first that I have heard of this issue. I guess the Z-plan has a lot of people reconsidering the jump over.

 

How often does a private school have the option to jump over?

I am not sure how often they have the option, but they would have to make the change in every sport. That would be very costly even for USJ and JCS. They would have to do a lot of traveling since there are no D2 schools around here. I don't think there has been any decision made. Pretty sure it would be considered big news, but it wouldn't surprise me too much if they did jump. If I had to guess though, I would say they don't. We'll see.

So many act is if putting private schools in div 2 will make everything right in high school sports. But just as soon as that ever happens, the same people will find something else to moan and complain about. I can hear it now, the next will be to split off rural and city schools. Then we will break it down to schools with the best facilities, and those with bad facilities. If we keep going at this rate everyone will be in their own division and every team will get a gold ball just for being them....isn't that warm and fuzzy? I say, make 1 division 1 championship and make it mean something for the team who wins it.

Enrollment figures (from TSSAA website)

Camden - 586 Jackson Central Merry - 1691 (this has dropped to around 1000) Jackson Christian School - 223

University School - 316 Bolivar - 859 Chester County - 673 Lexington - 916 McNairy Central - 756

South Side - 948 Liberty- nothing posted, but heard around 1100 students

 

That should pretty much answer it. Hear Jackson Christian, University School, Trinity, and Fayette Academy are all making the jump.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
