Board of Control Meeting

[ELA]

We estimate we will have around 515 to 520 students in the fall with our last large class of seniors graduating in May. We asked the TSSAA to accept our numbers but we were turned down even though we were led to believe they would be favorable to our requests.

 

Our school has students from other county schools in vocational classes and those are included in the 624 number even though they belong to Milan, South Gibson, Bradford, and Peabody. Those students only come to our school for one class a day.

 

In two years we will be around 485 in our student body and will drop one class in football.

 

The coaches voted to split our super district into an EAST-WEST bracket as recommended by the TSSAA. Each team will play all four teams in their side of the district plus three from the other side.

You were early to the table with the South Gibson bump if I remember right. They will have their hands full competing in this district. Thing is, next year will be the most talent they will have in the near future as far as I can see.

Their two advantages are numbers in the lower classes and their proximity to Jackson. The temporary down-side is a lack of facilities. In a couple of years they will have everything they need to be a first class program. Unfortunately for them, they will continue to grow in numbers while we should drop down to the next lower class. They have a good coaching staff and their boys will learn a lot these next two years playing in district 13AA
