LCA is a small private school in Smyrna. We are a second year program playing an independent schedule. We have around 100 kids in our high school. We have 27 players on our team. We do not have a middle school program yet or a JV. We are having a good season, but the competition isn't that great. But, who are we to be playing championship type programs? We are excited about competing in the TSSAA next year. We have a long way to go, but we are in a great location and we are expecting a lot of growth.

 

We understand that the next couple of seasons could be very rough as we build our program, but you have to start somewhere right? Here are the scores from this season so far. We have very little support from our school. We worked out in a portable storage building for two years. We also had our first practices in the parking lot. Our school doesn' even give money to the program. We are not a rich school, we do not have facilities, we do not have athletes. We do have a bunch of kids that listen and do what they're told. We have worked for everything we have right now.

Accoriding to today's Tennessean, FRA and Zion Christian have decided to go DII as well.

[PowerSweep]

What about FRA?

 

So for now it looks like DCA, USJ, JCS and LCA. Are there any other schools rumored to be moving from DI to DII?

[jtmgovols]

Powersweep see post above yours. It is in today's Tennessean that FRA and Zion are going DII. At this point there are alot of rumors but with the deadliine to apply being Friday lets try to deal in fact to keep us all sane.

I agree, what is the motivation for these schools to move to DII? Are they all wanting to offer financial aid or is it something about the reclassification?

 

Thanks

Not about wanting to or not wanting to offer financial aid and all about not wanting to play schools that, with the Z plan and multiplier, are over 3 times bigger than they are. I personally wish there was a private school division for schools that did not offer financial aid where neither financial aid or multiplier was a factor.
