Does anyone know what the enrollment cutoffs are for 4A and 5A for football classifications for 2005-2009?  I know the TSSAA will have it on their website next Tuesday, but does anyone know anything beforehand?  Thanks.

Well, about the only thing you can do is go to the TSSAA Website and they have a link on their homepage that has the enrollment numbers for all the DI and DII schools. You can take the DI and divide by 5. That should help you find out where the cutoffs will be. But, the ones on the fringe could change pending appeals.

Also, remember that this classification list they put out on Tuesday is not final. All schools on the list (except the 5A schools) can request to play up in a higher classification. Several schools do this. They will have until Sep 1 to declare whether or not they intend to move up to a higher classification.

Again, we won't know for sure until all appeals are decided and all the teams moving up are placed. However, just looking at the current #s the cutoffs will be somewhere in the following neighborhoods:

 

4A/5A - somewhere between 1348 and 1361

Overton 1348

Munford 1351

Maryville 1351

Glencliff 1358

Oakland 1361

Brentwood High 1361

 

3A/4A - somewhere between 956 and 988

Fulton 956

Anderson Co 964

Brainerd 967

Notre Dame 977

Memphis East 984

Jackson Northside 986

Whites Creek 988

 

2A/3A - somewhere between 644 and 681

Loudon 644

Cheatham Co 667

Frayser 667

You know, I'm a little tired of this classification stuff and the public-private debate. Why don't the Lords of the TSSAA grow a pair and either go for a full split or none at all. As far as classification, a state with more hoops-playing schools than football-playing ones crowning FIVE public-school football champs and only three in hoops doesn't make a lot of sense. The TSSAA should go four-classes for football and basketball and be done with it. Any postseason money lost by dropping an entire class in football would probably be more than made up with an extra class in hoops. The TSSAA needs to step up and make a decision. Maybe if all the Lords' kids didn't go to private schools in the Nashville area, the decisions would be much easier, hmmmm??? Oh, and by the way, when the TSSAA makes out the new districts and regions this fall, they might want to try looking at a map. Not all 4-lane roads are good, and not all 2-lane roads are bad. And, make no mistake, a lot of the alignments are based on the Tennessee Highway System.

    • 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.
