Chattanooga Reclassification Rumors

[ChattanoogaCannon]

If we let each school vote instead of the members of the board, I think it would be worse for the private schools. In the article it said that 70% of schools favored a complete spilt in public and private division. There is obviously more public schools than private schools in the sate so I don't think your idea of each school voting is going to favor privates.

 

I was being absurd, which is just as absurd as just voting with what the majority wants.To paraphrase Thomas Jefferson "To be just, majority decisions must be in the best interest of all the people, not just one faction."

i believe the deadline to declare Public or DII was yesterday. Were there any changes in Middle or East Tennessee?

Friendship Christian is only school moving to Division II that I am aware of.

Only way Boyd goes D2 is if football goes 3A. I think the Bucs will stay 2A football. So they will stay where they are here too I assume.

East Hamilton is going to AAA. No other changes that I see that affect soccer in SE TN. The next question is if any soccer playing school replaces EH in District 6.

Wow, I missed a big change that affects AA as a whole. Knox Catholic is moving to AA creating a new rival for CAK. Looks like AA publics will have something new to complain about as well.

CC, I don't see where anyone replaces EH. I think EH moves on as they should and D 6 is set. Chattanooga Central, CSAS, East Ridge, Hixson, Red Bank, Tyner......... Numbers are good, strength is not. Not that EH ever made it a power disctrict as far as soccer, but they are and will be good enough, at least in the next couple of years to cause an upset or two.

I don't see it either. It seems some folks on the mountain are getting tired of getting beat in certain sports, so they are really pushing the administration to ask to move. Football rules, though, so I think they will stay in District 7.

Here is an interesting read on possible district changes around Chattanooga:

Here's another interesting twist. The Cleveland paper is reporting about a rumor that District 5 AA will be dissolved in order to add another district in west TN. Boyd, Silverdale, Grace would be sent to districts 5 and 6 I guess. I like this idea except we will have yet another district out west with no competitive soccer teams.

dont "knock the west" for no competitive teams in AA soccer - we have had a true separation between public and private (which you do not). Hence the public sector teams in the "lowly west" are playing with other public teams that are competitive on their level.
