blackhawkdown Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Bet Grace is up by 40 over Rockwood at some point on Friday also. Mismatch in District 3A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OS91 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Private schools have no business playing Single A basketball. I have no problem with private schools playing in public classification in Class AA and AAA, but not in single A. If private schools want to compete in public league, then AA and AAA basketball will provide equal footing. The built in advantages private schools ( especially in Knoxville, Chattanooga, Nashville, and Memphis areas ) have over Class A public schools from rural areas of TN is too overwhelming. If these private schools don't want to play in AA or AAA basketball, then let TSAAA create a snall A private school classifictiona and let these schools build their program this way instead of feasting off rural A programs who can't compete against private school and their mission/method of "selecting" their student body/student athletes. When you have obscure private schools mostly faith based who have just starting fielding teams over the past five years who are beating traditional Class A schools by 30- 40 point, good AA schools by 10-20, and competing with AAA schools, then what's the point? It's ridiculous. I would be embarrassed if I were a private school. Don't reward them. Make them play each other in their own little special classification if they don't want to earn their stripes playing in Class AA and AAA right out of the gate.

They used to have 2 private school classifications, and it was about the most boring state tournament ever. Everyone complains about private schools, but the main problem is your not good enough to beat them. These schools don't recruit, well not anymore then any other school, and a lot of their enrollments are below other Class A schools. Not every team is supposed to win the state tournament every year. Just one team from each classification gets that opportunity. So if you want to compete you need to build your programs, and that starts all the way back to rec ball, then Middle School, AAU/JR Pro, and then High School.
