This plan I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtowner Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Going to 5 classes will only add about 10 schools to each classification. Roughly 58 - 60 per class. I don't think we will have a hard line (set) enrollment number the way DII is currently set up. But who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A school the size of Gleason roughly 120 students cannot compete year and year out with a Union City with enrollment between 450 and 500.

lakecounty1968 Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) 350 is a perfect cutoff between 1 and 2 A. Why the TSSAA thinks they must even classes out is a joke. Back in the old 3 classification they used hardline enrollment and that worked fine. Edited June 6, 2019 by lakecounty1968 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtowner Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 400 would be a more realistic cutoff number for 1A. Thinking out loud: If there was a hard line enrollment number, would anyone manipulate or hold numbers down for a certain classification?

When Union City is on most schools in 1A or 2A cannot compete. You're using the low end and the high end of the stick to make comparisons. There will always be an advantage in that scenario. I understand what you're saying but one has to be realistic as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtowner Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 The 500 hardline enrollment OnB has stated would only have roughly 35 or so schools in the class. Not picking on OnB or the number but just putting a reasonable opinion out to why it may not or could not happen or work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtowner Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 I do believe we are heading to something different though next classification. I would think there will be some options on the table by the end of this football season and especially by this time next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtowner Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Back to the Friday Main Event Top 10. Which 1 team would you take out AND what team would you add? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtowner Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Right now I would take out Freedom Prep and add Gordonsville. No particular reason. I'd have to give it a bit more thought. On Gordy that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom Prep has alot of talent but to undisciplined to make a serious run. I just used 350 because it seems like a logical number. IMO 400 is on the high side but leave it up to the TSSAA and they will find away to mess it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely those players will find a way to get a hardship approved. I believe the lineman is a Senior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
