When Nolensville moves up to 6a they should be in with LaVergne, Stewie, Smyrna plus maybe Antioch and Cane Ridge.  That would make sense geographically.  For all sports.  Neighborhood rivalries draw fans and fans at games = $$$ for the schools.

According to google maps, it's an eleven minute drive from Nolensville High to Stewie.

(it's a 33 minute drive from Stewie to McGavock for example, 29 from Smyrna to Overton)

The WilCo school system will push for a WilCo Super League:  Brentwood, Ravenwood, Indy, Franklin, Centennial, Summit, Nolensville & Page if they can push some rezoning down Arno Road.  That would bump Dickson out when they drop to 5A after next year.

6 classes is here to stay. Money and pressure from smaller schools will not let 5 classes to happen. 

I agree with this statement. 6 classes is going to stay because more people are in the playoffs which makes smaller schools happy. As long as TSSAA is turning a profit they will follow the dollar. Half the gate from more playoffs games will only make them happier. I know some people are complaining about smaller gates at the Round 1 playoff game blowouts but that is more the individual schools complaining in localized areas. Across the state a huge number of teams playing a Round 1 playoff game translates to more ticket sales collectively.

You can look it up.  I had the website but don’t remember.  Playoff attendance and money was way down across the board.

Okay I just pulled up an article from Kreager:

 

https://usatodayhss.com/2019/tennessee-high-school-football-decline-attendance-revenue

"Gross receipts totaled $1,382,426 in 2018, down from $1,615,738 a year earlier."

 

I still don't see them abandoning 6 classes though. I could be wrong. Maybe if the attendance and money continues to drop they will change something.

That was before they nearly voted for 5 classes, if I recall correctly

5 classes would cut down on travel, make it easier to schedule games, provide more competition, and still allow for smaller schools to compete.  I would be all for it.

Here you go-six classes saved, but better competition all around. 

Go with Top 64 over the past five years in 5A, 6A, and Division II-AAA. To make it simple, it goes from 1-Brentwood Academy to 64-Clarksville Northeast. These schools are Class 6A. 

Class 5A, top 64 in 3A, 4A, and Division II-AA. 1-Alcoa to 64-Howard. Class 4A, top 64 in 1A, 2A, and Division 11-A. 1-Peabody to 64-Hickman County 

Others not making the 64 cut are divided by enrollment into three more classes (3A, 2A, 1A). 2500-student Bartlett down to Rossville Christian. 

32 of 64 makes the playoffs in the 3 main classes. 8 regions of 8 teams each. Playoffs in lower three classes would depend on numbers. 

Schools could transition based on long term success, over 4 years at a time, or maybe 2 years of state titles in a row. Such details could be worked out. 

As for private schools mixing back in, put in an exhaustive anti-recruiting program, those guilty would risk losing their football for at least a couple of years. All would be subject to penalties.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
