Memphis East jumped from 2A to 4A  in basketball just now, similar to what they've done in the past. 

You're comparing Basketball to football.  Does this make Memphis East play 6a football then too since they jumped to the highest classification in Basketball?

 

Show me a School who has jumped two classifications in Football and the TSSAA allowed it.....

Brentwood Academy played 5A in 1-division football. 

It's not my comparison, it's the TSSAA allowing it. East in 6A football, theoretically, has nothing to do with this. 

If it can be done in basketball, it can be done in football, but nobody wants to do it now apparently.

Yes you can play up two classes if your school wants to in any sport by TSSAA rules. Alcoa just wants to make excuses why the don’t play up.., one year it was because the Knoxville schools were threatening to move up… not this year… none of them threaten to move. So who cares.. let them play in 3a and keep winning… your not proving anything to anyone … except your not wanting to play up against different competition

Once again a Private School who didn't play by the same rules as public schools and the main reason the Division 2 started in the first place. Knox Catholic did the same until the TSSAA changed their rules recently about tuition assistance

Then East in 4a Basketball has nothing to do with Football by your logic since we are talking about football not basketball.

Thats like saying if a Senior in High School can declare for the NBA Draft or MLB draft they should be able to Declare for NFL draft.  Football is it's own animal and everyone knows that.  Like i've said show me a team that the TSSAA has allowed to play up more than one division

Please provide the rule then and i'll stand corrected.  Go and compare Alcoa's schedule to any public school around here no matter the classification who plays Maryville every year?  Who played the best team in 5a in Knox West?  Who tried to get the three best teams in 4a to play? Like i've stated multiple times now moving to 4a schedule wise wouldn't be a big difference from what they have now

You could have moved to 4A and those schools you say are scared of you would have to play you and you could still keep your two games against Maryville and west… the only difference you would be playing the best 3 teams in 4A in playoffs where you may or may not win and cost you a championship that is easy for you in 3A…

if you can move up in basketball 2 classifications, you can move up 2 in football in tssaa…. Nobody has wanted to do that but you could if you wanted to

Thanks Swipes............sigh. :rolleyes:

Bottom line Alcoa needs to know if Knoxville 4A Teams will remain in region 2? If not, there could be long travel games. At the same time, if you let Alcoa move up, you can not stop 4A teams from moving up.

Stop referring to me as "you" when i'm not an Alcoa Fan just tired of people like you crying all the dang time.  Alcoa would be favored in 4a and this is coming from a GREENEVILLE Fan and former player.  Alcoa isn't going to let TSSAA make the decision to potentially put them in the Chattanooga region in 4a and don't blame them (They did it to AC).

You said TSSAA has a rule so show the dang Rule instead if trying to compare it to a less physical sport.  Just because the TSSAA will let someone move up in Basketball two classes because it's not as physical as football doesn't mean they would allow a football team to move up two classifications.  It's the same way the NBA use to let high schools get drafted and Baseball still does out of high school.  Football you will never see that happen.....

There is no rule that says you can’t move up 2 classifications period. You can move up however you want to. It’s same rules for all sports on moving classifications during recycle period.

Alcoa was not being put in a chattanooga region… stop making excuses. They were gonna be in region 2 with other Knox county schools

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
