List of Schools that SP tried to schedule

[rlh]

South Pitt picked up GCA the past two years and we were glad to see them do so. We are in the same boat. When you are an upper team in your classification, nobody wants to play you unless you play way up. We played a 5A (A.C.), 4A (Carter), and a 3A (CAK) and had to travel to Franklin Road Academy and South Pitt to fill out our schedule. Something needs to be done about this. And 2A Silverdale not playing SP is outrageous. They are truly a bunch of chickens that want to get their playoff seeding as high as possible.

 

Maybe Grider will pick GCA up for 2 more years if you guys have an opening.

Most of you miss the point. Let me break it down.

 

-SP small 1A powerhouse.

-Won a lot mostly the past 19 years.

-Has scored a lot on feeble opponents mostly when they ran their mouth first or our JV did most of the scoring

-has beaten and lost to annual playoff contenders in 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A

-has been mercy ruled very little

-Continues to play local schools in other sports and gets the day lights beat out of them and then returns the favor in football

-sits back and gets shafted out of money for home field advantage in the playoffs because of 1-3 losses to Bigger schools an is suppose to accept it??

-Already has 4 region games in LOokout Valley, whitwell, Marion, and now Sale Creek

-already has games with Boyd (2a contender year in and year out), Polk (3A contender year in year out), Sequatchie Co (3A powerhouse in all other sports and rapidly on the rise in football)

- that leaves 3 opponents to play. Based on the existing playoff system losing can hinder you in the playoffs badly, so a coach would be foolish to schedule anyone that is a definite loss such as the Alcoas and maryvilles. First you try all local 1A schools then move up and across the state but have to think about money to travel. If your program can't bring in revenue from home playoff games then the program can't afford to travel too far.... Or most importantly.... Lose

-EVEN A POWERHOUSE DOESN'T WANT TO SET UP 15-18 YEAR OLDS TO FAIL

 

I don't see any of you running out and beefing up your schedules outside of your own region!!!!!

thanks, yes you guys are faced with the same problem. Our schedule, like yours, speaks for itself but if the TSSAA penalise us for playing up then I do not know what the answer is. What are we to do? Maybe districts need to be combined, with only half as many as now. That forces TSSAA to set some or most of the schedules.

Trousdale County, Red Boiling Springs, and Watertown........try them

Pride thats the reason they are called Seachickens. They have went behind Boyds back and teams broke contract with us and they just happen to be put on the Seachickens schedule. Most of the time they are weaker teams.

Wasn't us, it was Grundys decision.
