According to Sullivan Central athletic director Brandon Krantz, the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association declined Sullivan Central’s appeal to remain in Class 4A during the first day of the TSSAA’s two-day board of control meeting on Wednesday afternoon in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
As a result, the Cougars will be moved up to play in Class 5A and compete in Division I, Class 3A – the premier classification category in high school sports in Tennessee – beginning in 2009.
“We presented our case and we had all of our documentation and our numbers … we presented the whole nine yards to [the TSSAA],” Krantz said. “And to be honest with you … I feel like we caught ‘em off guard, because they didn’t know how to come back to us, as far as an answer.”
