District 7-AAA will now be made up, exclusively, of Rutherford County schools.
Blackman, La Vergne, Oakland, Riverdale, Siegel and Smyrna will all be in the same district for football, basketball, baseball, softball and volleyball beginning in the 2009-2010 school year. They will all be in Class 6A for the football playoffs.
That was one of the big changes today during the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association’s Board of Control meeting at the Embassy Suites in Murfreesboro. They will hold up through the 2012-2013 school year.
Other changes: Nashville football power Hillsboro will compete in District 11-AAA starting next season against the likes of Brentwood, Ravenwood and Franklin in football.
However, Hillsboro will compete in Class 5A in the postseason while every Williamson school except Centennial will be in Class 6A.
Dickson County, which had been set in 11-AAA, was moved to 10-AAA with Montgomery County schools.
Hillsboro, which had been placed in District 12-AAA with Metro schools, requested being placed in the Williamson County district.
David Lipscomb and CPA will join five Metro schools – East Literature, Pearl-Cohn, M.L. King, Maplewood and Stratford to form District 10 in Class AA. Maplewood and Stratford have been in Class AAA.
Goodpasture and Hume-Fogg will head out of Nashville and play Westmoreland, Greenbrier, Macon County, Sycamore and White House in District 9.
In Class A, Districts 7 and 8 will unite and form a nine-team Region 4-A football schedule because there are so few teams in that area playing football. The region includes Clay County, Monterey, Pickett County, Jackson County, Gordonsville, Red Boiling Springs, Friendship, Trousdale County and Watertown.
Districts 11 and 12 will form an eight-team football Region 6-A, including Columbia Academy, Cornersville, Mt. Pleasant, Richland, Collinwood, Perry County, Wayne County and Loretto.
These area districts are for football, basketball, baseball, softball and volleyball. Football classes for playoffs are in parentheses:
