Tate Football Wins Appeal, Moving Down To 1-6A

January 23, 2015

According to the Tate High football program, the Florida High School Athletic Association has approved the school’s classification appeal — moving the school from 1-7A down to 1-6A.

Under tentative four-year classifications released in December by the FHSAA, Tate was in 1-7A with Niceville, Navarre and three Tallahassee schools – Chiles, Leon and Lincoln.  The school appealed, citing financial travel restraints due to travel distances.

The Aggies were reclassified to District 1 Class 6A with Escambia, Washington, Pine Forest, Milton and Pace.

    Doesnt seem fair? Well neither does not having any money to support the team with a long road schedule and Im not just talking about Tate. Tell me, if their enrollment is that much what does that have to do with the girls on campus? You can only put 11 on the field….

    What is Tate’s enrollment compared to the others?

    Having a true 7A team playing in a 6A district doesn’t seem very fair to me.
