Why is Northpoint Christian in the TSSAA?

I've been wondering the same thing all season. Even tho Southaven is a rocks throw across the state line. They are still a MS school.

I have never known the reason for them participating in the TSSAA, but we (Friendship) played them in the playoffs last year and they were pretty dang good. Also, they had 20 of 22 starters return this year, therefore, it was no surprise to see them win their district. I wouldn't be surprised to see them in Cookeville.

Northpoint Christian used to be SBEC, which was originally in Memphis, Tn. New location is literally a mile from the state line. Mississippi has no private school organization that is recognized by the NFHS. MHSAA (public school association) does not have a Division 2, Mississippi has MAIS, which is an independent organization and not recognized by NFHS, If SBEC had been a member of the MAIS, because of the size of their school, their closest league game would have been in Jackson, Ms (180 miles). If they were a member of MHSAA, because of the multiplier, they would be classified as a 3A or 4A school, closest district game of 45 miles.

 

TSSAA is not a "state organization" is is also an independent organization, but an organization that is recognized by the NFHS. TSSAA could in fact let anyone into their association, as long as they pay the membership fee.  In other associations, there are multiple precedence's of bordering school playing in the neighboring states association.

 

SBEC/Northpoint has been a member of TSSAA since the schools inception and when they began interscholastic athletics. The school is smaller than Harding, ECS, St. George, Lausanne, USJ, and FACS in the west region.

Thanks for the explanation.  I don't blame Northpoint for competing in the TSSAA.

Good burger at Harding.  Only problem ... I sat down (on the visitor's side) opened it up and there was just a bun.  Didn't know I needed to stop by the grill to pick it up.  Good, hot, burger.

actually looking at the numbers from the West Region school's CoachT page, only Harding (396) and ECS (515) have more students.   NCS 280;  FACS  224   SGIS 212  Lausanne 206.  Dont forget about the other schools in the West.  Tipton-Rosemark 160; Memphis Catholic  135; Rossville 125;   USJ, Fayette Academy and Sacred Heart Of Jesus (Jackson TN) do not list their enrollment
