You know how they take "roll" every two years and count how many kids each school has and that determines the ranking.
Well, Mercer is 2A, but this year they Joined all the high school's in to one...and they do a censer at the end of this year and that is why they are moving up..I heard they have over 1000 kids there.

The take a census, for enrollment,,,,,the high schools are not combined but the kids are counted as one school , there are actually 2 campuses, no high school built yet. I think the actual number of kids was around 960, but close to 1000.
I will never understand the reasoning to allow a football team to be able to play together when they go to different schools....
They are moving up to 5A because thats where they should have been playing this year but did not have a schedule set for AAA, my opinion is that that they should have had to pick up a schedule for AAA this year or wait until the merger actually happened to put a team on the field.. This would have not put the kids in the crosshairs of playing in a lower division or placing the blame on the school. THE KHSAA approved this and the Tiatns were allowed to play.. Not their fault, but not fair either.... Cant blame the kids.....
