TSSAA Changes Football Classification

Associated Press

FRANKLIN, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee football teams will play the regular season grouped in three classes but compete for six state championships starting in 2009 under a reclassification plan adopted by the group overseeing high school sports.

 

The Board of Control for the Tennessee Secondary Schools

Athletic Association voted 5-4 Wednesday to change from five classifications in Division I to the three-class plan. The change will attempt to help schools lower travel costs by keeping them in the same districts in which they play all other sports.

 

In the playoffs, Class AAA would split into Classes 6A and 5A with Class AA divided into Classes 4A and 3A and finally Class A with Classes 2A and 1A. A total of 32 teams would qualify for the playoffs in Classes 3A through 6A, and 24 in Classes 2A and 1A.

 

The board voted to keep Division II, which consists of schools offering financial aid. That brings the total to eight Tennessee football titles handed out beginning in 2009.
