Call me crazy, but I believe private schools should play each other for the same title. But there's no point in having 3 divisions for less than 50 teams.

so why doesn't D1 drop 2 5 classes. D1 is watered down and would help on the travel. Ask Adamsville about the travel. Also that private advantage payed off this year with all the hardware they brought home.

Cut it to 7 classes. Division I, rural and no private schools, since that has always seemed to be an argument (open zones, privates) Yes, some rural schools don't have hard zones but usually the dista

The will crazy thing is having this many classes with the amount of schools Tn has. D1 or D2. Personally I believe us staying D1 helps our players. We are now in the toughest region. No complaints here. Strap up and play. I am glad we stayed because in the lower D2 it is weak until u get to middle and east. Will we spoil some public school dreams. I don't know but I do know our kids will work hard no matter who they play. I suggest all the teams do that and not worry about how many classes or D1 or D2. That is what really needs to happen.

4 Classes in public and 1 Class in private.

 

Think that would be about 73/74 schools in each public class and 50 or so in the private class.

 

Speaking of privates, will all private schools play there state championship games the same week as the public schools?  If that is correct, what happens where you have 11 schools in the largest private school class?  Double elimination?  LOL.  How will the bracket be set up.  Looks like there could be 2-3 open weeks with only 11 schools, and I'm including byes in that statement.  If that is correct, that is just plain our Forest Gump DUMB to me!

It has been like that for quite some years in the big privates. Byes first round for the top seeded team and then a bye week before the state championship.

 

The difference between the best privates and lower level is more of a gap than 6A and 1A. Just simply woudnt be fair or fun. Teams like Zion Christian or Ezell Harding would get actually physically hurt playing a MBA or BA. No disrespect but it would make no sense.

 

Should go to just one division with 5 classes. The privates should have a multiplier. Simple fix to an apparently complex problem.

oh that would be to easy. And plus no public would ever win a state championship. Just like this past year. Privates racked up on the gold and silver in their last year in D1

You have 50 schools in D2, take the top 32.  Why is it fair for all privates going to playoffs, not all public's go?  Don't even mention the Super 32!  That was in the past.  In the past have all privates gone to the playoffs?  Yep.  Will they continue to go to the playoffs?  Yep.

 

By the way when will they decided to keep the games in Cookeville or move them to Choo-Choo?

Well you clearly don't know what you're talking about. When I was in high school and we played in the big private division not all teams went to the playoffs. In fact we went my junior year and not my senior year. Maybe you should do some research on statements before you make them. Only recently have all privates in the big division gone to the playoffs because the classification shrinks almost every year. (For the record all the teams in the small private division don't go to the playoffs. Is it that hard to do a little research so you don't put your foot in your mouth?)

 

NO ONE, including my School wants to consistently play a region schedule against the big privates. Those teams are so much beyond 90% of the rest of Tennessee Football. Trust me, winning the big private division with only 11 teams is still harder than winning any other class minus 6A. And that would be pretty darn close.

 

BA MBA Ensworth are the reason we have a D2 to begin with. MUS, Baylor and McCallie are no joke either.

 

Now that privates are out don't worry we will have a D3 soon for open zoned schools once people are tired of losing to them.

No Einstein, the reason you have a D2 classification is because M'Boro  schools didn't like losing to BA.  Check out the D2 schools for next year.

 

D2 - A -> 17 schools

D2 - AA -> 19 schools

D2 - AAA -> 11 schools

 

Einstein, you tell me what schools are not going to the playoffs from D2 A, AA, AAA.  My education didn't come from Dutchtown Road, but I do understand common sense! Maybe you ought to do some research before you put your ? in your mouth.

      Bearden Bulldogs 2024

      By Dawgz4life · Posted

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.

      An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.

      All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.

      No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
