Reclassification

[smokefb]

Next year will be a reclassification year. What is everyone hearing about changes? Stay the same? Go to 4 Classifications across the board?

 

Thoughts?

Nolensville should move up to 5A maybe 6A. Giles Co. I believe will move backup to 4A.

I don't see TSSAA going back from 6 classifications. That being said you have to take into account the cutoff numbers changing with a reclassification. 

Here are current classification cutoff numbers:

6a:

1509 or greater

5a: 

1103 - 1508

4a:

822 - 1102

3a:

557 - 821

2a:

376 - 556

1a:

0 - 375

 

Fulton, Seymour, Carter, and Gibbs all 4a playing up to 5a.

Elizabethton is 3a playing up to 4a

 

That's all I know for the east part of the state playing up in classifications. 

 

I have no clue what the 4 knox schools will do but I expect Etown to stay playing up in 4a.

Looking at numbers, Station Camp, Dickson County & McMinn County are playing 6A level with 5A numbers.  Gallatin is playing 5A level with 6A numbers.  Hendersonville is teetering on the 5/6A cutoff if it stays the same.  I can see Summit moving up to 6A after next year along with Beech if rezoning takes place in Sumner County.  I would think that Gallatin, Hendersonville & Station Camp would want to stay together if possible.  A few Memphis schools are playing up in class to keep traditional districts in tact & to cut down in travel.  Not sure if they move when TSSAA reclassifies.

Unless Alcoa moves up then Betsy moves to 3a

I was just thinking about this.   I wish they would go to 4 classes and back to districts.  Have the top two teams of district go to playoffs.  The second round of the playoffs would also be for the region championship so a trophy would be presented after that second round.

How does this work? Numbers based off next year’s enrollment and if you move classes it would happen the 2021 season?

Gleason will more than likely stay 1A

They should have a multiplier rule for tuition students of 20 added to enrollment per tuition student on open zone schools. If not the same old thing will go on and on until no one is interested in watching it anymore.

6 is toooooooo many classes. I like the going back to districts and top two go to playoffs  with 4 classes. Leave privates where they are.

 I agree 100%! Nobody wants to go to most of these 1st round games. Back in the 80’s you had to be a good football team to make the playoffs. The first round games were usually good match ups.
