Fortunate Rhea

Rhea appeared to have gotten a break on their enrollment if the numbers are accurate. 9/26/16 Enrollment on the tssaa website has them at 1442, good for 5A, after some thought their numbers would be high enough for 6A.

October 1, 2016 number on the Tennessee Department of Education website, on the newly released state report card, 1554. Would have had them in 6A football.

I doubt there was any kind of effort to short the number for classification purposes but it does seem strange the gap was that far apart.

Wow, that is a very large gap. I would expect a slightly different number, but not a difference of >100.

Monkey business, unlikely, but it does seem like different methods were used to get the different totals. Not long before it was final, I'd read Rhea was expected to have well over 1500. 

It may see unimportant in the long run but I'd say whatever team went to 6A instead would have been interested.

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
