Ok let’s factor in county population. Putnam is certainly a 6A county. 

So every school wether it has an enrollment of 100 or 1200......if in an open enrollment county...... which is about 80% of the counties, and say a city within that county is larger than say 15k, we bump them up to play 6a football. A quick example of Blount Co, Lincoln Co, Robertson Co, Sumner Co, Davidson Co:  So East Robinson, Greenback, Greenbrier, East Nashville, Pearl Cohn,  Eagleville, Fayetteville , Jo Byrns, Westmoreland "every school in Sumner",Portland, Whitehouse, Greenbrier, Watertown, Monterey, Upperman all need to play 6a football and 4a in everything else with Oakland and Riverdale? All so the folks in say Clay County don't fell like they are at such a disadvantage. Seems sorta like a bad system to me.

When I played, 3 classes. Straight off enrollments. No privates, just straight numbers. Had to win your district to make the playoffs, the rest of the teams with winning records played in bowl games. Now we have jumped from 3 classes to 9 classes, separated the private and magnet school from the public schools, and allow 4 teams from each district into the playoffs. I don't know how much more we can chop it up to get folks from getting thier feelings hurt. It's water down about as much as it can be.

I agree it's an advantage. But also the demographics of say a Trousdale compared to say Jackson County might be viewed as a huge advantage for Yellow Jackets. Or the ability for say a Macon to raise 20k from the big Tabbaco money to pay a top coach to come in, but maybe a Cannon County doesn't have thst option. Like I said....we have 9 divisions in Football....how many more do we need to make sure no ones feelings get hurt on other schools advantages? 

u have no clue what your talking about! .

your not even remotely close and u wanta  why i know cause i was involved in it. Your figure is not even close way off! try half that on the backer money.

School choice in Putnam County has created a situation where one school dominates where all the athletes go. Cookeville and Monterey get the scraps in every sport. Upperman plays 6A football and 4A basketball/baseball vs small county schools that can’t consistently produce the talent to compete with them. 

I guess I should have been more clear. My question was about Macon county. You're talking about football but as was mentioned Upperman has had a very strong baseball program since the late 70's. Basketball has been solid off and on for years. Why has it suddenly became and issue? the last few years.

I might be way off the number of $$$ but not way off that it happened. My point is schools have diffrent advantages for diffrent reasons. Enrollment is about the only way you can classify them. Can't quantify so called advantages and disadvantages into what class a schools plays in as long as they do it by the rules.

    • Marion just jumped ER as the favorites in the East. Two big time transfers for y’all kinfolks. Bullseye has been set now. I said it the last two years it is time and both times y’all let me down. Can’t say you’re short on talent this year or that you’re young. Time to put up or shut up. Surely y’all can get over the hump this year. I’m just keeping it real
    • Should have won by 30 last year if we played discipline at the very least. May have got 2 dogs up front but remember we have the best DL in the state on our team. Also added a 6’6” 320lb O lineman.
    • Marion County boys just got two DOGS. Y’all East Robertson folks better buckle your chin straps this year. They gonna have something for Groves up front this year. I’m just keeping it real 
    • A little confused.  What charter/prep schools made it to state in Baseball?  
    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
