for those who don't already know fra and dca both located in nashville will move to D2

 

 

 

With these two, we have at least the following changes in A/AA

 

FRA, DCA, USJ, JCS, Fayette Academy -- all going to D2

 

Catholic, Station Camp, Portland, Seymour - going to AAA

 

Looking at who has made it to State the last 2 years (of these teams), you see FRA, USJ, JCS and Catholic. That's 50% of the teams that made it to State. That is a whole new ballgame, with a bunch of new teams making it (or returning) to State.

 

State still leaves ND, CCS, CAK, CPA among the powers. Who is likely to step into the void created by these departing teams? Madison? Hume-Fogg? Alcoa?

Seymour is moving to AAA.

 

Wow, that REALLY changes things with FRA, USJ, and others going D2! For the guys side, it opens things up just as much!

In Memphis paper this AM.....

 

Fayette Academy switching to Division 2

 

By Jason Smith (Contact), Memphis Commercial Appeal

Wednesday, October 8, 2008

 

With Friday the deadline for TSSAA schools to announce their intentions to move to Division 2, Fayette Academy athletic director Rick Sullivan said Tuesday the Vikings will make the switch to D2 for the 2009-13 classification period.

 

Fayette Academy, with a current enrollment of 262, is the only Shelby-Metro private school participating in Division 1. The move to D2 would allow the school to avoid the TSSAA's 1.8 enrollment multiplier for private schools competing in D2 when reclassification begins later this month.

 

"I think not just us, but a lot of the Division 1 (private) schools, we didn't really favor the multiplier that much," Sullivan said. "We were a little fearful that if we grow, with the multiplier, we might be bumped up to (Class) AA or even AAA (in D1) just because of the multiplier.

 

"Now I think we're going to be playing schools more like ourselves -- other private schools like the SBECs and the FACSs. ... With D2 divided into A and AA, I think it's just a better fit for us."

 

Sullivan said the Vikings' switch to D2, along with University School of Jackson, Jackson Christian School, Nashville Donelson Christian Academy and Franklin Road Academy, was a decision welcomed by current D2 schools.

 

"We went to a meeting with all the Division 2s, and they were trying to recruit us Division 1 private schools to make their state tournament more legit," Sullivan said. "I mean, when some teams win (state), it's no more than winning their region really. So it's going to make it a little bit more legit, having more teams in there."

 

Sullivan said the Vikings' move to D2 would also cut transportation costs and likely increase gate revenue.

 

"From an administrative side, I think playing the FACS', the Rossville's, the Tipton-Rosemark's, the St. George's and the USJ's, we're going to have much bigger gates money-wise than when we played Manassas or Middle College," he said.

I guess the thing is that all of this is up in the air until the November meeting (officially, that is). We can speculate, but most of these sources deal with other sports. While I don't think there will be a big difference with soccer, I have learned to never try and figure out how the TSSAA does things...

Coniglio, I think you may be right. All i know is that they have had a pretty rapid growth in enrollment and that added with the multiplier is pushing them to a higher class in football and all of those teams compete in AAA.

 

They have approximately 650 students. Rapid growth? I would say the multiplier is the controlling factor that will have them potentially playing schools with over 2000 students. /wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

bulldog, pleast don't think I am saying that the multiplier is fair to all the schools. I only made the comment about growth at Knox Catholic b/c I am catholic and I know that they ask for donations to help keep the school going, not only running, but to provide the type of education and experience that is necessary for many of these young students and athletes to grow with their faith properly. I have nothing against any school that is private and teaching great life lessons and encouraging faith to young people. I think we need it now more than ever. My comment was meant to emphasize how Knox Catholic has continued to grow and with a multiplier in place, it would affect their future classification.

 

I am not happy with losing some of the best teams out of our division (A/AA) for soccer. It gives everyone else an excuse why we don't deserve to be there. I want our team to be successful, but I want to earn it as well. Hope that clarifies this somewhat.

 

On a side note, we played Berean tonight to a 2-2 tie. after the match there was a girl for berean that had a medical issue that seemed very severe. I hope anyone reading this would at least keep her in their thoughts and prayers. I honestly don't know what exactly happened as it didn't occur during the match. I hope she is doing fine and it was just a nasty scare. Reminds us that the game isn't everything.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      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.
