gator Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted August 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 P.S. I read that they were going to take the # of football-playing schools, which I think is 294, and divide by 5. Any other info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

FatCat Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hssportsfan Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 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 York Institute 644 Fairview 645 Gibson Co 647 Goodpasture 666 Cheatham Co 667 Frayser 667 Grundy Co 676 Chester Co 681 1A/2A - somewhere between 370 and 411 JCS 370 Cascade 375 West Carroll 379 Fayette Acad 390 Union City 391 Hampton 393 Cosby 395 Peabody 399 North Greene 407 Alcoa 411 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWTennSports Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyfromsi Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Don't worry, after Monday we will know a lot more. BTW, the reason for different #s of classes is that football is different from other sports because of resources involved. Illinois for example has 7 classes for football and 4 for basketball (used to be 2 not long ago). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
