East Tennessee TMSAA Small School Sectional

[jhoop12]

no matter where the cutoff is there are always going to be schools on the high end and schools on the low end, just like there are in high school...our holston kids compete all year against schools with 250-350 8th graders...we are in area one which has a lot of very large middle schools, the cutoff is 150 and holston had 140 and next year drop to 128, there is no way to please every school....like in high school Sullivan Central has 1000 students but is playing AA against schools who have 500, not fair?....when central moves to AAA the year after next and plays in a conference against dobyns- bennett and Science Hill with their 1800 students is that fair?

Yes there will always be schools on the high and the low end, but the cutoff should be the same for each district throughout the state. Schools with 100 per class should not have to advance to their area sectional tourney and play schools that would be in the large school division if they were from the same area. I think Norris Middle and Lake City Middle are 2 schools that if they were in another area they would have the luxury of playing small school instead of large .

Once again not schools fault TMSSA is to blame.
