What are the "cut-off" numbers to determine

What are the break-down numbers used to determine football classification? Maryville has 1351 students in 4A and Campbell Co. has 1387, but is in 5A.  Both teams must be on the "bubble".

According to a classification thing on TSSAA it says this:

 

In Divison 1, schools playing football shall be divided into five classes based on the total number of schools playing football. Therefore, schools are classed as follows:

 

1A: Schools with an enrollment of 361 and under

2A: Schools with an enrollment of 364 to 673

3A: Schools with an enrollment of 675 to 957

4A: Schools with an enrollment of 961 to 1,347

5A: Schools with an enrollment of 1,348 and above

 

The thing doesn't really make sense. What if your school has 959 students? I guess they look at the numbers at that point and analyze it to determine what class a certain school belongs in. In some cases, such as Elizabethton, they are allowed to be in 4A even though they don't have enough students due to them being successful in that class.

If 5A is 1,348 and above, why is Maryville still 4A with 1,351 students as reported on CoachT? Maryville vs. Oak Ridge, Kingsport Dobyns Bennett, Soddy Daisy, etc. would be awesome match-ups.

I don't know that one. Maybe they have the same amount of boys that try out for football as the majority of other 4A schools.

The total no.# of schools playing football is divided by five and that usually comes out to be around 57 to 60 teams.  What ever the devisor is they count that many teams and make the Class division.  Sometimes teams with the same number influence the total one way or the other.

possumcop.. Good nickname man! You're right about the division but you have to factor in the teams that decide to "play up".

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
