No one is ever going to be happy with everything. However you can not have a lower disparity in 4A without watering it down even more and making district size and travel times even further. If you went to 5 classes you would have 60 schools in each class competing for a state championship. It waters down the entire experience. When football went to six classes it watered it down to the point you have teams that win 1 game making the playoffs.

Projections I did from most recent enrollments available were: Class A under 400 AA under 720 AAA under 1164 I'm sure there have been fluctuations in enrollment, opening/closing of chart

I think Tennessee was past due to add a class in basketball, baseball, softball.  The enrollment range in AAA was too wide for the large rural schools to compete consistently.  I'll be very interested

A lot of schools numbers at the 20 day mark may not reflect what the enrollment numbers for this classification cycle. You got kids transferring and not enrolled or withdrawn by that date due to some

Even with 3 classes in basketball we have 4 team districts with 1 win teams making the region tournament.

The top class disparity is still just as Terrible as it was. All the other classes go up in around 400 student increments but the 4A class has over a thousand student difference from top to bottom.? What a waste of time! 

completely agree. should have went 6 classes like football

No way South Gibson is 2A. But if you drop them into that other group that you labeled 13AAA you will have a pretty good picture of what Region 7 AAA will look like when it is all said and done. 

Also, I think Bolivar is stuck in Region 8 regardless of whether they stay 2A or bump up to 3A

Dyersburg was 729 in 2018 right??  Will all depend on the numbers. Will be interesting to see who plays where and who plays up. I am sure Adamsville, Scoots Hill and Decatur County will be happier to be more on a leveler playing field.

13AAA


Southside
Hardin County
Chester County
Lexington
Mcnairy Central

 

14AAA

Crockett County
Dyer County
Obion County
Northside
South Gibson
Liberty


If South Gibson falls below the cutoff for AAA then it will be 2 districts with 5 teams in each district. You could also see Haywood potentially being in this group as well, but I think they would get moved to the Memphis side. They could do the schools south of i40 in one and the ones north in another which would move liberty to 13AAA. Very curious to see how it shakes up

That’s the silliest thing I have ever heard. Of course it matters how many are walking the halls. Unless your a small single A school that gets away with recruiting, The ones on the court have to be picked from those walking the halls. If you have 1000 more kids your chances of having a few more athletes are much greater. Simple math.

Talked to a coach last night and he thinks the cutoff will be the 700-720 range for AA and 370-380 in Single A. That is his opinion and not fact but just passing this along.

You need to reread what I said. I did say that it is easier to find more if you have more to choose from. My point is that it is possible to win even if you have a much lower enrollment. I gave some examples from this past year and there are MANY more if you would like me to list them. If your school is getting beat regularly by a team with a higher enrollment, it is not because it is impossible to beat them. Most people find it easier to make excuses than find solutions.

      11 million dollar addition to HVA

      By SheriffofRedRock · Posted

      HVA is a dump and will never be good at football. It's a baseball school. Look at the types of homes being built and families moving in. Not football families. People will move in and look at the school and choose to play for another program. This issue has been snow balling for a decade now

      You will not be able to replace Dozier he was a stud and wasted for years. Heyward started strong and then fell of but he will be missed still Rembert could fly and was also underused. Not being replaced. Track has started to close the gap with football. It does not help that the current AD is just stealing money(collecting his check) while the assistant AD is a XC/Track guy who always hated football. Current AD is too worried about not hurting anyone's feelings to do anything at all. Heck he is gotta be 70 plus and looks like a fool wearing kid shoes

      11 million dollar addition to HVA

      By HTV · Posted

      As I said somewhere earlier in the thread, the original plans had no outdoor athletic facilities being part of the campus.  The original plan was for HVA to use facilities at nearby schools.  Very late in the process they came up with a plan and found budget to have minimal facilities and crammed them in to space that never was intended for athletic facilities.
