New High School in Maury County in 2024

It looks like they will catch a break and not have to play a varsity schedule in the first year. I remember when Summit opened with just freshmen and sophomores they were at the start of the two year cycle. They were put in the district with Giles County, Lewis County, etc. It was brutal. IIRC Independence opened in the middle of the cycle and got to ease into football with a JV schedule only the first year. 

This will also affect Spring Hill HS in two years sending them back down to 4A or maybe even 3A for a bit. The re-zoning for BCHS is going to take a big bite out of their population.

If they go to the four year cycle I don't think it harms them. In a two year cycle they'd play one year of JV only and then move to a varsity schedule with juniors and sophomores. Next year is year two of the current cycle. BC would just need to find some schools willing to add an extra JV game on to the schedule. This is what happened to Independence. I think Ravenwood as well. So it would be no different whether it's a two or four year cycle. They will be playing a full varsity schedule in their second year regardless.

Honestly think new schools should be ineligible from scheduling Varsity competition until they have all 4 grades. Unless it's a situation like LC where the whole county board is all in on seeing them succeed,  first 2 years are gonna be rough

    • Players and parents and coaches and administrators love uncertainty and vagueness. Hard to believe they could make the situation worse, but it seems they managed to do exactly that. So as you said we either have a one time transfer (wink, wink) or there's about to be a ton of teed off players and parents and coaches and administrators. 
    • Quite a bit of Porter was involved with this post. Will be following for the big champion announcements. 
    • They are going to have to learn to score to win it. They may well do it but there problem has been scoring consistently. Glass House causes that to happen to most teams. 
    • We will see. I can't ever remember a year when it was this wide open. I am always a Gibson County homer but I love the makeup of our team this year. Got four guards and 3 of them have been point guards. We will play fast and aggressive on both ends and if we handle the ball like I think we will we will be very competitive to the buzzer sounds. Got two really good post players. There is no dominant team. Huntingdon will be a handful and a team I wouldn't want to have to play in a do or die game. Loretto is going to be balanced as well. York, Westview, Gatlinburg Pittman, Union City, Summertown, Smith County will be in the mix. Memphis Business Academy might the the best team in the state talent wise. Decatur County, JCM, Liberty and Adamsville's District will be tough as well. Very balanced AA and I may have missed some but it is wide open.
