East won state 1969. Truth be known Morristown won state 1969. That was first year of school split. Didn't matter where you lived if you were a junior or a senior and played football you went to MoEast. Half of that team should have been at West if you went by current standards. The powers that be knew what they had and weren't about to let the school split stop them.

You maybe on to something, why do we have two high schools anyway? With one big high school we would bring the whole town back together. The biggest benefits would be taxes payers money would be able to be spend on hiring more teachers, improving advance classes, and helping kids learn English when that is not there 1st language. I am sure it cost a lot of money keeping two high schools going. What about the saving in overhead cost like reducing the number of assistant Principals and cutting out one Principal all together. What about increasing our teacher pay? I know there pay is way behind other city simpler to Morristown. I would like to know what other people think.

MoEast, MoWest, and Jeff will take big hits in all sports from Lakeway Academy. The facilities and coaching staff are going to be excellent.

FYI the state championship won by East was actually won by Morristown that was 2nd year of schools being split there was no varsity program at West half of state championship team would be zoned as West now

    • No reasonable lawyer would take up this case. I am not a lawyer, but I know school law in and out.  Similar situations just like this play out thousands of times each year across the country, even at the college level (i.e. Ole Miss)  The Plaintiff's never win...ever.  If I am wrong, please provide a legal precedent for me. I will be waiting.  https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39431892/judge-drops-ole-miss-player-lawsuit-lane-kiffin  
    • Yes Justin Cruse was named head coach
    • It used to be, I think it still is, a change of 20% +/- gives reason to reclassify. Schools can choose to play up classifications but not down. Here is the mid cycle reclassification info on TSSAA.org When Memphis East changed from a regular public school to an "all-optional" school in 2017 the would've dropped to A but chose to stay in AAA in basketball (baseball, and softball) Penny was still coaching there and with the players they had they would've beaten A teams by 40 and slept walked to the championship. Other Memphis schools stayed in their classifications (mostly in basketball) until the next reclassification cycle. Of course this is the same time that a 4th class was added basketball.
