BoardHater71 Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 This goes back to the good ole Region 6-4A days when Cheatham County and Pearl-Cohn were big rivals. In 1993-1995 Cheatham County owned Pearl-Cohn. 1996-2000 the Firebirds had the Cubs number. Pearl-Cohn head coach Tony Brunetti was an assistant football coach at Cheatham County from 1997-2001 and still resides in Ashland City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadaLyon Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Pearl should still be in 4A or 5A. They co-op with MLK, meaning they are two schools with (PC 643) + MLK (961) = (1604 kids total) playing under the Firebirds banner and they get serious talent from MLK. TSSAA should address this and modify their classification.

Prior to that all of the MLK kids actually played football at Hillsboro. Hillsboro went to the Blue Cross Bowl several times with some MLK kids on their roster. East Nashville now has a football program but when they didn't have football their students played football at Stratford. I have no idea where the young men from Hume-Fogg play football. Perhaps someone can help me with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With enough public push back then they will revisit sooner than 2 years from now. I'm not against coop, it should just come with some regulation to protect the student-athletes. A school can add as many coop schools with no consequence for the increasing the number of student enrollment, or pool of talent. Pearl-Cohn-MLK is a 1600+ enrollment, vs other schools with 650. Student-athletes deserve a level playing field. TSSAA should revisit this to ensure equity and parody among its schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00Chargers Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Chadalyon, You are correct in your concern. Based on official TSSAA guidelines, cooperative programs should be classified by adding the enrollments of both schools together or taking the enrollment of the larger and multiplying 1.8, whichever number is smaller. This would put the enrollment for considering their classification at 1157. Based on this, they should be classified a 5A in football. I have no idea why they are still able to compete with much smaller programs. This has been addressed to the TSSAA and we shall see if something changes. Who knows??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
