Indian Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 It looks like it is picking up some steam in discussions across the state. For or against? My biggest reason for is the number of magnet/charters starting up and adding basketball, really affecting the classifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazzyness Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Four classifacations in basketball has been a long time coming. It will spread baseball/softball a bit thin, but its past time for four basketball classifacations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dearth of charters/magnets opening, especially in Memphis has skewed Class A & thus affected the other two classes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobcatfan300 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 This would make it a lot more fair for smaller schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCHSladyPats Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 smaller schools, what about small big schools, like a school with an enrollment of 1300 playing against a school with 2300? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where it matters most. Except drop that number to about 1,050 trying to compete with 2000+ Edited November 21, 2019 by twopairsofgloves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four classes would help to change that too. in 4A some of the small large schools would be in 3A without the 2000+ schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobcatfan300 Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Another change that is needed is districts should be of similar size. 6A has 8 teams but when it comes to the region, the other district only has 4 teams so they get everyone in, including weak teams, while 6A has some better teams that can't advance.

repoman Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 my two cents, basketball alot more forgiveness than football,you can only play 5 kids at a time, and really dont need numbers per sea, but usually the "championship" games at the glass house shows the difference between A,AA,AAA total team skill levels.

dmm88 Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Now on the girls side, it will make a huge deal. A good single A school won't schedule a AAA with 2,000 plus kids. Gibson County and Greenfield will, because they want their kids tested before tourney time. But the average A school wont.

Jimbob9 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Way overdue. It’s completely ridiculous for the so called little big schools with just over 1000 kids to be playing schools with 2800 or MORE! Change it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFan14A Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 I'd have to see enrollment breakdowns before making a more informed decision. There's a big difference at the Boro when you watch A-AA-AAA. I think it'd be good to have an extra class personally in basketball and one less class in football.
