CAK, Concord Christian to officially move to Division II
Published 3:41 pm Friday, October 14, 2016
It seems that high school postseasons will have a different look in the coming years.
Friday afternoon, the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association released a list of private schools that will be moving out of the Division I classification and into the Division II class for the 2017-2021 classification cycle.
Among the schools listed are Christian Academy of Knoxville, Concord Christian, Grace Christian Academy of Knoxville, Christ Presbyterian Academy, and Boyd-Buchanan High School.
This means that local Carter County teams will no longer have to play private school powerhouses like CAK and Grace Christian in the postseason.
The reclassification will also have an impact on the Region 1-1A football conference since Concord Christian will no longer be playing in DI.
Schools that will make the move include:
