Our number we turned was 360, and we are sitting at like 349 today, it goes by the number your admins turned in.

That would be about an 8% decrease for TC.

So if it shows <20% that means the increase/decrease was less than 20% either way, the teams that have a chance to move will have a +21 or higher or a -21 and lower. 

This is it!

right we were at like 389 for original classification alignment and then mid term we turned in 360 and now we are<350.

After a rough quick glance,  Memphis East had a -30% (decrease)  in enrollment and that new enrollment number is 345 which is under the 375 set back in 2016 for Class 1A.  They are a candidate to opt out and move down to 1A.

Also, Trezevant had a -37% (decrease) in enrollment. Their new enrollment number of 387 puts them under the 556 that was set back in 2016 for Class 2A.  They are a candidate to opt out and move down to 2A.

And Woodale had a -43% (decrease) in enrollment.  Their new enrollment number of 458 puts them under the 556 that was set back in 2016 for Class 2A.  They are a candidate to opt out and move down to 2A.

Here are the ranges for each class set back in 2016.  If you have an increase of 20% or more AND your NEW enrollment number is SIGNIFICANT enough to put you in a different class then you SHALL BE MOVED UP.

Class 1A  0-375

Class 2A  376-556

Class 3A  557-821

Class 4A  822-1102

Class 5A  1103-1508

Class 6A 1509 and greater

 

If you have a decrease of 20% or more AND your NEW enrollment number is SIGNIFICANT enough to put you in a different class then you MAY OPT TO MOVE DOWN.

Any way you slice it, there are at least 41 teams in the state that have turned in #s that would warrant a move in classification, regardless of 20% rule.   Some teams in '19 will be playing up or down in classification based on the current enrollment scale.  I understand the 4 year process.  But what I do not understand is TSSAA taking enrollment figures at mid cycle, but not moving teams to new classifications and balancing out the state. If movement is not going to be made (except 20% rule), why even bother retrieving enrollment.  Wait until the Spring of the 4th year of current cycle.  Now, it is public knowledge who is playing up or down based on their enrollments.  It just opens a can of problems for TSSAA.  The 20% rule is ridiculous anyway.  It affects and moves #s a lot more in lower classification schools than it does upper classification schools because the numbers are smaller.  Example:  Republic increased in enrollment over 20% and it jumps them 2 classes with only 300 student increase.  With Beech increase over 20%, they have an increase of 246 and it keeps them in 5A, with more students coming when they rezone Station Camp kids away to Beech and Gallatin.  McMinn County loses almost 200 kids and it drops them below the current 6A/5A scale and they have to remain in 6A, whereas Gallatin increases enrollment and pushes them above 6A enrollment scale, but get to play 5A ball with over 100 kids above 6A threshold.  These are just a couple examples of why I think TSSAA should go ahead and reclassify every 2 years.  The damage/success to a program is minimal in 2 years as opposed to 4 years playing in a different classification.

If you want reclassification every 2 years then submit it to the Association. 

Those teams that are on the fringe of each classification will also be a little too big or a little too small. That's why they're on the fringe. 

Instead of polling coaches and administrators to see if they want to end Spring practice maybe poll everyone to look at reclassification every 2 years.

While we are on the subject and you mentioned it, what are the coaches thinking about Spring Practice?  Keep it or let it go?

I believe coaches were polled back in March by the TnFCA.  By a tune of 330 out of 347 voted to keep spring practice.

Also aren't all the privates going D2?

Looks like 2A region 8 may have a possible predicament.

Fairley

Mitchell

Douglass

MAHS

Manassas

Hamilton (drops to 1A if they choose too) Then the potential of 5 more schools in Memphis dropping to 2A?

Who does MLK Co-op with in football? & I think Trezevant moves to 2A if they want?  Not staying in 3A due to enrollment.
