Gordonsville at Fayetteville

[TheAmbassador]

I would like to see this game. I believe the Pirates will be making the yearly trip to Gordy Land in November.

I would like to see it as well.  But Fayetteville will be down about 5 key players in this game.

I have seen guesses from guys on here where the cutoffs vary from the 340s to the 380s. We are 355 so we’ll see. Do you know when the TSSAA is going to put the classes out? I assume they will have to do that early enough to give teams the option to move up and still finalize districts/regions prior to November BOC meeting. 

If we go to 2A, that’s fine. I assume our region will get easier and class will get harder. It will also be unfortunate to lose some of the teams we play regularly in football and basketball but we will strap up and play whoever they want us to. 

The TSSAA could release the classes as early as next week.  I believe it was around mid Oct back in 2016 when they were released last time. Then schools will have a week to notify the state if they wanna move up.  Once that takes place districts and regions will be set and posted by the end of Oct.

If anyone has an appeal with their placement it will be heard at the Nov 12th BOC meeting and that is when everything will be finalized.

That's my best guess using past timeframes of this.

From what I am seeing, it looks as though Fayetteville City will be classified as 2A beginning with the 2021 season. 

What are you seeing that makes you say that? After you take all the non-football schools out, Fayetteville appears to have at least 3-4 schools of little wiggle room if the classes are 49-50 each again. Also, at least three schools listed as smaller (Loretto - 494 to 353, Eagleville - 437 to 317, and Mckenzie - 432 to 335) than Fayetteville show such drastic decreases in their enrollments that they may get a second look to make sure they submitted correct numbers. Loretto and the other Lawrence County schools reportedly submitted their average attendance rather than enrollment, which would mean their numbers would be adjusted up significantly to correct that.

What I'm seeing is about 50 football playing schools with lesser enrollment numbers than Fayetteville.   

I will say Fayetteville is on the cuff.

They use the average daily attendance from the first 20 days of school and not the actual number that is at a school on a certain day.  Thats why all the numbers are so different than last year.  Must be a lot of kids doing home school and not virtual.  Home schoolers do not count against your numbers.  I would venture to say that ALL schools have more students than what has been turned in to the state.

Loretto’s number is wrong and is supposedly going to be corrected. Eagleville lost kids to Rockvale when it opened. Not sure on what happened at McKenzie.

Fayetteville will stay A, it will be one of the larger A schools unless there are some smaller schools starting football.

The original enrollment numbers on the TSSAA website has caused some confusion.  I found at least 39 discrepancies from what was reported and posted early Friday and what was posted later that day.

The discrepancies were all Memphis area schools mainly along with McKenzie. 

That's the reason I had at least 50 football playing schools with smaller enrollments than Fayetteville City.  

Now those Memphis area schools enrollments are higher than originally posted by the TSSAA.  And therefore not smaller than Fayetteville's enrollment.

[Southtowner]

Originally posted enrollment numbers. 

 

Compare them to what is posted now and you'll see the discrepancies.

Back to this game.  I've got Gordonsville winning.  I can't say it enough, I wish Fayetteville was at full strength.

Will this game still be played? I know Gordonsville is remote learning due to Covid until after fall break.
