CPA football to play independently, will miss TSSAA playoffs in 2027 and 2028
Summary

Christ Presbyterian Academy (CPA) has announced an independent schedule for the 2027 and 2028 high school football seasons, rendering the team ineligible for TSSAA playoffs. The decision follows CPA's reclassification to Division II-AAA due to recent TSSAA changes, which were influenced by scrutiny of competitive equity and potential legal challenges. In a statement, CPA emphasized priorities of competitive integrity and student safety while expressing a commitment to education-based sports. The school plans to formally notify TSSAA by the Sept. 29 deadline, as it expects to remain in Division II-AAA under current classification rules.
