[SirStang]

Huntingdon is getting shafted in this new classification.

Huntingdon is getting shafted in this new classification.

yes they are, with quite a few other schools too. Dude!... Travel distance, time on busses, cost of gas & eating out, cost to families going to away games, splitting up historic rivalry games... plus more... to my country mind this just equals one big MESS! But... we all gotta do it, the Ivory Tower has spoken, so here we go. :-/

If you had regions with equal or nearly equal numbers, you could end up with a team having all of their region games two hours away. That doesn't seem too fair either. If they wanted the Top 32 system (and some of those arent powerhouses despite the enrollment) they still could have compressed the other groups into four instead of five, spreading things out and leading to uneven region numbers. They should look at other sports too why just rearrange football, and the total split clearly needs to take place too.

We travel almost 3 hours to one region game 2 and a half to 2 others hour and a half to one and an hour to the other. always have. The new proposal isn't much better same travel just now where gonna be a school with less than 400 in enrollment playing teams that's played 3A ball for the last 10 years. If they don't recount numbers it will hurt our program.

  I'm not sure if they recount or not,regardless it is what it it,just strap um up and play whoever lines up across from you. I do think they should recount when they change everything all at once.

Bernard said they are going to use the 20 day enrollment count from 2014 to make the classification.

They'll go by this year's enrollment numbers...after 20 days of the school year each school will turn their numbers in...TSSAA probably won't receive those and go over them till sometime mid to late Sept

confucius say....yippee....i see a TC vs SP playoff rivalry starting back up...thank you Football Gods!!!

I would take this in a heartbeat!   Sure travel, especially to Jamestown & Baxter would be a pain.  However the lack of gate that three or four of those Chattanooga based teams would bring when traveling to our place when added together probably wouldn't top 50 fans based on past experience in basketball & baseball.

I would say they would be in Reg.3 with South Pitt, Whitwell Copper Basin & Lookout Valley.
