The current proposal is really bad. 9 teams in AAA will provide for a brutal scheduling and travel situation. BA & Ensworth in AA means everyone is playing for 3rd place. I dont blame BA or Ensworth for playing AA one bit though due to said scheduling and travel issues. That A division is brutally bad and will be very non-competitive IMO. Davidson, Friendship, MTCS and possibly DCA (hearing they will be way down starting next year) will dominate that group. Scheduling could be a potential issue for those in A as well as teams will have nothing to gain/everything to lose mentality by playing those small teams. TSSAA has really screwed TN high school football.

I may have missed this. Are BA and Ensworth playing in AA for sure next year?

This is not decided yet unless I have missed it. They are slotted AA based on enrollment. They have until Tuesday to decide whether they want to play AA or move up to AAA. Both schools have cited scheduling and travel as possible motives to play where they are slotted.

BA is going to make Lipscomb sweat it out.

Yep. As they should. I initially felt both teams would step up to AAA but it really makes no sense the more I look at it. BA playing 9 games for the 2nd year in a row and having to go out of state to get to 9. Why put yourself in such a tough situation to get games by playing AAA?

and Goodpasture

Nope, cause Goodpasture didn't have anyone on the board that rigged the set up to benefit them like Lipscomb has tried to.

 

Division 1 is divided evenly by number of teams over each class. For SOME reason, Division 2 is set up using enrollment numbers conveniently situated right above their own enrollment as a cut off point. C'mon it is what it is.

 

They could take the top 16 enrollment-wise and make two-8 team regions in the top class. That would eliminate a lot of the  travel and scheduling problems, but then Lipscomb would get slaughtered so that can't happen. Makes too much sense.

    • Had what I believed would’ve been a good one hired but he showed up and smelled the cooking going on and said no thanks. 
    • Yeah.  Kids only transfer in and out of Bearden these days, you know.   That particular poster evidentially has a personal vendetta with Josh Jones.   Consider the source.  And the kid transferring to McCallie is a terrific talent, but an opportunity to go to McCallie on scholarship (and I am assuming that is the case) is one that is very much beneficial both athletically and academically.  McCallie is a great school for both.   Bearden will be fine.  And so will both of those kids who decided with their parents/advisors to go elsewhere.  
    • I think we are conducting interviews now since we have so many wanting to come to school here and play for a real team with a chance to play in front of lot's of fan's and have a chance to win a championship every year.  
    • Esteemed colleagues, On this auspicious Saturday morning, I fortuitously encountered Dr. Satterfield at the Early Bird Cafe, whereupon we engaged in a discourse concerning the pool of candidates vying for a coveted position. Dr. Satterfield, possessing a discerning eye, has graciously shared insights into the contenders, which I shall now relay to you in a structured manner. Eric Vetetoe, though initially absent from my considerations, ascended to the zenith of Clint's roster, poised atop his discerning clipboard as a preeminent candidate. Kyle Gregory, with a coaching demeanor reminiscent of a bygone era, has captivated Clint's admiration. His interview performance, I am informed, left an indelible impression, aligning seamlessly with Clint's nostalgic sentiments. Davy Cothron's cerebral approach to offense, notwithstanding a past championship game setback, garners high praise from Dr. Satterfield. His strategic acumen, it appears, remains unblemished despite previous trials. Brandon Eden's steadfast allegiance to the team, evidenced by his tenure on the creekbank, earns him considerable favor in Clint's estimation. Anticipation lingers as to whether an offer may be extended in recognition of his unwavering dedication. Wesley Satterfield emerges as a compelling candidate following a favorable assessment by Mr. Satterfield himself. The prospect of a Satterfield succession holds a certain allure, embodying continuity and tradition in equal measure. Kyle Shoulders, a surprising entrant in the applicant pool, impresses Clint with his football intellect, potentially positioning him as a contender for the role. Josh Hackett's defensive prowess, particularly in encounters against Trousdale over recent years, earns commendation from Coach Satterfield, underscoring his proficiency in the strategic aspects of the game. John McNeal's track record of success across multiple sports affords him undeniable merit, though the prospect of his acceptance, if offered, remains uncertain. Chad Evitts, a former NFL luminary, presents a unique opportunity, recognized keenly by Mr. Satterfield, to infuse our program with elite expertise and experience. Matt Dyer, revered for his contributions during the regular season, faces scrutiny for his playoff performances, a dichotomy that weighs upon Clint's evaluation. Chuck Gentry, endorsed by Dr. Satterfield, embodies the promise of transformative leadership, drawing parallels to his past triumphs in revitalizing programs akin to ours. Clint extols BJ West's astute management at the middle school echelon, where his strategic maneuver of strategically calibrating the team's schedule to optimize performance stands as a testament to his sagacity and acumen in navigating competitive dynamics. In conclusion, the deliberations surrounding our prospective leadership remain nuanced and multifaceted, underscoring the significance of this decision in shaping the future trajectory of our esteemed institution.
