LoveForTheGame Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 One option is to have football distrcts mirror all other sports districts with three regular season classes (a la z-plan) and then determine playoff placement like the old 5-class system did, with the top 4 teams making to the playoffs. Then the largest two playoff bound schools by enrollment go to the higher classification (6A if in an AAA district) with the other, smaller two playoff teams going to the 5A playoffs. A team will be preclassified into A, AA, or AAA by enrollment for the regular season, but would not know what post-season class they are in until the playoffs. Texas uses something like this already. This is not my personal favorite idea, nor one I would like to see, but some of you may like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCTIGERFAN Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Friendship Christian off the top of my head. Wilson County has a population of 122k. That's pretty dang big, it's not like Lebanon is some little, small, rural town. Wilson County has the 12th largest population in TN out of 95 total counties.

DCTIGERFAN Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 yes 7 and the greater Atlanta area has more population than all of TN. So Ga has 9.7 million people and 7 champions, TN has 6.4 million people and 8 champions........yes way watered down. Going by the TN model, California with 39 million would need to have 25 class state champions! Ahh that's not quite true, but you're point is valid. Metro Atlanta has a population of 5.6 million, which is a little more than half of the entire state of Georgia's population of 10.1 million. Tennessee as state has a population of 6.5 million.

SdotBears Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 That's a great plan, makes sense too and its pretty even. Take it to Childress. Cbg does have a good, reasonable plan. That's why it'll never pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Tennessee better because the population is more evenly distributed. There are large parts of GA where there is nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTV Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 And you guys want to hear a really crazy number? According to Knoxville Central's head coach, who is from New Jersey and coached in New Jersey for a couple of years between coaching at Oak Ridge and being hired at Central, New Jersey has 28 "state" champions in its different classifications. That's just insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteShadow Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Metro is not open zone. Lots of ways to go to certain schools though. As far as magnet schools I think you need to look at whether they are true magnet schools such as Hume Fogg which attract top academic kids or magnet schools that simply have the name. They are very different. In metro the three academic magnet schools are HF, MLK, and EN. East Nashville is not an academic magnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChattanoogaFBFan Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Using the same criteria as above--- How would East Tennessee be divided? Maryville Fulton Knox West Alcoa Science Hill Greeneville Knox Catholic South Doyle Sevier Co. Oak Ridge Sullivan South Webb Loudon Hardin Valley D-B Farragut Tennessee High Elizabethton Mo. East Anderson Co. Mo. West CAK Campbell Co Clinton Livingston Acad. (would they go East?) I am not as familiar with that area and who is closest to who. I would probably replace Livingston with some one like Powell since they would be closer to Knoxville than Livingston. Also Knoxville could be split up a couple different ways. 4 Districts 6-7 teams per District A Northeast TN Science Hill Greeneville Sullivan South D-B Elizabethton TN High District B North Sevier Co. South Doyle Mo West Mo East Fulton Knox West District C South Alcoa Loudon Maryville Farragut Knox Catholic CAK Webb . District D West Oak Ridge Anderson Co. Clinton Campbell Co. Hardin Valley Powell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
