Reclassification rumors

With reclassification plans likely to be released in the near future, rumors and gossip are flying among coaches.

Here are some to consider:

• East Hamilton leaving District 6-AA and moving up to District 5-AAA. The Hurricanes are likely to make more money on gate receipts, but it's a step up in competition with the likes of Cleveland, Bradley Central, McMinn County and Ooltewah.

• Signal Mountain changing districts, possibly moving out of 7-AA with Bledsoe, Grundy, Sequatchie, Notre Dame and CCS into 6-AA with Central, East Ridge, Hixson, Howard, Red Bank, Tyner and possibly Brainerd.

• Notre Dame dropping from Class 4A in the playoffs to Class 3A, and maybe even Class 2A, and Brainerd might drop from 4A in the postseason to 3A.

• Depending on how the numbers fall, Boyd-Buchanan considering a move to Division II-A.

• It's likely that Red Bank will replace South Pittsburg on Signal Mountain's schedule even if the Eagles' move from 7-AA doesn't happen. Also, that Baylor will be looking for at least two games because the Red Raiders no longer will be playing Soddy-Daisy or Bradley Central, that Central likely will drop Polk County and Cleveland and add Coffee County and Cumberland County, and that Blackman has made its last trips to the Chattanooga area unless it reaches an agreement with Baylor.

Reclassification rumors

that Central likely will drop Polk County

 

That was announced the week of the Polk v Chatt central game. Central WILL drop Polk.

Cumberland County will not play anyone in Chattanooga next year. Ive been told there moving to 4A into district 8-AA

Thats is a huge drop for Cumberland isn't it.

They will be going from 5A to 4A. It good they can play teams like York Inst., Upperman and that bunch

Any chance Stone and cumberland could be put in district 8 AA with this new classification period?

[jetfootballdad]

Slight chance. Stone is larger than cumberland by about 60 students is what my info says. Around 1050 for cc and 1110 for stone.

Cumberland Co. should they move down would be in a odd situation. They are geographically in between 3 different AA districts.

The farthest drive to an opponent would be roughly 85 miles one way, whether that be Woodbury, Notre Dame, or Alcoa.

[jetfootballdad]

I would think they would want to be with la and york with whom they have a long stsnding rivalry in basketball. Staying in the central time zone makes travel a lot easier for the other sports too.

Cumberland County has already told the tssaa they wanna go into 8-AA to stay in central time. If some how Stone stays in 4A you will see them go with CCHS. But I expect Stone to move up

I would call East Hamilton moving into AAA, 5A playoffs, likely. That surprises about Signal, even if they request it. Chattanooga Christian and Notre Dame would be closer to the other 6-AA teams if they want to fill East Hamilton's 6-AA spot. Signal would lose money with 6-AA opponents replacing 7-AA opponents, in basketball too. Boyd ought to be in Division II anyway. I'd call Notre Dame moving into Class 3A playoffs possible, Class A and 2A playoffs very unlikely with a 1.8 multiplier. They'd have to drop near an actual 300 students in the building.

Anyone heard information about McMinn Central moving to district with Alcoa, CAK, Loudon, Kingston, and Scott?
