Schools possibly moving up in classification.

Also guys remember the classes are set as for cut offs so unless you electbto pkay up in class you are where you will be. For instance liberty being 4a would not get pushed up due to other 3a schools electing to play 4a

I know that is true, but T$$AA wanted equal sized classes. If 4-5 teams move up from say 3A to 4A, wouldn't it seem reasonable to ask the smallest 4A schools if they wanted to move down? Reasonable may not be in the T$$AA's vocabulary, though.

 

Of course, I guess there could be some 2A's moving up that would equalize it back out.

 

I wonder if there will be anybody moving from 1A to 2A?

unless the information I read was incorrect, they do have a co-op agreement with another school. They are not being accused of anything by me. That is a simple fact. My personal opinion is that the real numbers from a co-op school should count when determining class size just as some feel that imaginary players should be added to a private schools count that wants to stay in D 1. This applies to Memphis East AND any other school that co-op with another school for football or any other sport. And please don't get me started on the open transfer rule Memphis schools get to take advantage of. I have not seen any I indication that East will play up. If they do in football and basketball I will get in line and say it was the right thing to do. I don't blame East I blame the TSSAA for creating a playing field that is not level for many schools....public and private. East just happens to be the team we are talking about.

 

Let me clarify a few things. Like I said in an earlier post, Memphis East is moving up to 4A in football.

The reason numbers are not added per cooperative agreement is because those agreements are only good for 1 year. A school can decide they do not want to continue that co-op or simply co-op with another program. Memphis East does co-op with Soulsville this year, but that was at Soulsville's request because of 1 student that they had really wanted (at least, so he said) to play football his senior year. Well long story short, Memphis East does not have 1 player on its roster that does not attend Memphis East High School. For the past 10 years or so, Memphis East has always played up at least 1 classification. We just like to play competitive football. Our basketball team will play in AAA. So there is no need to go through all your scenarios. We were moving up with or without a cooperative agreement.

I'm wondering if tssaa will Grant memphis east to move from 2a to 4a. With so many 3a schools wanting to move to 4a I don't see the tssaa letting a 2a school Jump 2 classifications. I know they haven't aloud it in the past

    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
