Who hates having the Super 32?

I've said for years go to 4 classes and add a option of an 11th kickoff game like the tip off classics in basketball. But alas.

The thing I hate most (well almost the most) is not being able to schedule regular JV or Freshman games on Mondays.  Because of the travel expense, and more importantly, the traveling so far on a school night, lots of 6A schools in the east struggle to find JV and Freshman games. I feel for Bradley Central being so far from everyone in the district.  I don't have a kid out there, but I believe those JV and Freshman games are extremely important to the long term success to any program.

Check out the suggestion I made on the 1A/2A thread. He posted this on every classification message board and I don't feel like typing all of that out again.

We have a lot of long trips too, though nowhere near as long as a few of BC's.

Got all of our Freshman games in but 1(Thursday night games) but did get several JV match ups cancelled. Tough to drive 80 miles or more for a JV scrimmage on a Monday night. And I agree, getting these guys the playing time is important.

As long as the Super 32 is in place, 5A will run circles around 6A in terms of overall strength of the classification. It's a farce

So what's your plan again MTF?

But wait, don't even tell me if it includes us going back into a region with White County, Cumberland County etc...

We want to play WEST, and I don't care if it's the RuCo teams or the WC teams or a mixture of both.

You have your assignment, aaaand go!....

I also thought that Cookeville should be playing Wilson Co schools or Rutherford. It's a natural fit.

Why's that? I can't speak for BC but I can for Cookeville, and playing in this region was MUCH MUCH better, light years better, than the region we've been in the last few years. Better for the players, the coaches and the fans.

Playing in a region with White County, Stone etc... better than playing the RuCo teams? For who?

6A teams should play in regions with other 6A teams. Not 5A.

The question was, "Who hates the Super 32?" I answered "I don't!" As in: I don't hate the Super 32.

Your just looking at it from a Cookeville perspective, I'm looking at it from a statewide perspective. The quality of football in 6A stunk this year when compared to other classifications and it will continue to stink as long as this plan is in place.

 

Under both the 3 class and the 5 class system, football was strong in this state and there were plenty of matchups to look forward to each week and the attendance reflected that. It was never an automatic that a team was going to make a deep run every year.

 

What I want is football in this state to be strong again. It's not going to be strong under a 6 class system, period. 4 classes, heck even 5 classes, would be a dramatic step in the right direction. Like Solomon said, if the TSSAA us so heck bent on getting their money, make it an 11 game season so the TSSAA can do so. If it was up to me, it'd be going to 3 classes

What Bradley did this year, was schedule a lot of the old 5A district and 4A district teams around here for JV.

All in can say is that it sucks to be the largest 32 schools in the state. Im kinda starting to like the new set up

Didn't suck for us, we loved it!

I'm still trying to figure out who it sucked for? Maybe Bradley Central with their long travel times? But their poster on this thread said they like the competition...

Didn't suck for Warren County, they went 1-9 and got to go play Maryville in a 1st round playoff game. And I think a big majority of WC folks were glad to have that opportunity.

 

Don't see how it sucked for any of the Rutherford, Williamson, or Wilson county teams.

 

Plus, maybe it has benefited the realignment of the other 5 classes?...

Anyway FBfan, good luck in Cookeville next weekend. Beat Catholic & bring that gold ball back to Middle Tennessee!

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.

      What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?

      Per usual, we'll be hard to beat in the regular season, I'm sure. It's the post season that I'm more worried about, specifically the coaches. Maybe they'll be able to make some adjustments that will keep the momentum in our favor. How's Grays recovery coming along?

      Something don’t add up here a college coach is not going to turn away a good player they need just because they didn’t get along with their high school coach

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
