Enrollment Numbers are Out....


Recommended Posts

I think it might be EASIER moving up. With North shrinking and losing players to DB every year, HV is bad and only going to get worse, and SG isn't going to get much better in the next few years. I would take my chances with them before I would with Coalfield and Greenback.

     Not to mention the gate and travel. Looks like a no brainer to me.

It would be nice having to only go as far as SG. That might be the the least amount of travel Unaka has EVER had to do for conference games sunce they went to classifacations.

 

Plus a typical North team vs. a typical Hampton team would be a FUN game to watch if you like physical, hard nosed football.

Hmm.. I just looked at enrollment numbers.. @ http://tssaa.org/potential-football-classes-for-2015-16/ I wonder why was it just top 32 to make up Class 6A? If they just go by pure numbers, there are 309 football playing schools on their list. They want 6 classes, using the stated enrollment numbers, that's 51.4 schools per class (not 32), and divide the class into 8 regions, that's 6.4 teams per district/region. I say work it out this way: have 6A & 5A with 53 teams each, then 4A & 3A with 52 teams, 2A has 50, & 1A with 49 teams each. (309 teams, with schools having more students having more teams per class). Thus the six classes with 8 regions each creates a 6 or 7 team district (arrange them by geographic proximity), and then have top 4 teams in each district make playoffs. Thus 32 get in per class, then 16, elite 8, final 4, then championship. No bye weeks, 10 game season, 5 playoff games to crown the champ. Looking at above list in link (going down),

6A would be White Station (2289) to Morrristown Hamblen West (1461);

5A is Ooltewah (1452) to Anderson County (1064);

4A is Kirby (1058) to CAK (766.8);

3A is Red Bank (754) to Gatlinburg-Pittman (562);

2A is Lewis Co (555) to Jellico (384);

1A is KIPP Memphis (381) to Gleason (161).

Larger size schools have more teams per class is my thinking, and it goes by enrollment numbers only. Wouldn't this be better? Maybe adjust and tweak it every 4 (or 6) years? Just use simple math as the KISS principle, Keep It Short & Simple. It's not politics, nor records, nor whatever else, just math and enrollment numbers (with a smidgen of logic perhaps?) to make things as fair as possible. But whadda I know, just a dumb hick from the sticks.

 

Because middle TN did not want Maryville beating them every year.......think about it.

I've been following twitter a little bit today.

 

As of 10:13am there are no signed documents from any school in the State asking to move up, so says that Childress man.

Contrary to what ppl at the TSSAA say, one school not only has turned in papers to move up but did so Yesterday!

TSSAA executive director Bernard Childress: I've gotten a lot of questions, but as of (10:13 a.m.), no signed documents asking to move up

Congrats Alcoa on 2 years of completely uninteresting 75 point wins on your way to the championship game.. keep rubbing it in I'd be proud to beat up on a bunch of county schools. 2a ball I hope yall ain't to proud to dress in tiny weight rooms and classrooms with no showers after you play on a old muddy field in front of a couple hundred people.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
