Alcoa is 2A and Maryville is 6A!

[FridayMainEvent]

Just got confirmation from both Coaches tonight via text message.  Appreciate both Coach Quarles and Coach Rankin allowing me to share that info with fans of The Friday Main Event so quickly!  Two great Coaches and two excellent programs.

I lost my respect for Coach Rankin. Alcoa should be playing 3A football.

No, public schools should play against schools that are their same size. After all that's the reason for classifications.

Coach Quarles is the man  shows no fear. this will only help his program.

Wish the TSSAA would go back to a 5 Class system they had from 1993 to 2008. Dread all the traveling Maryville will have to do. To go to some of those games I will have to drive there straight from work. Wife won't like that at all. I won't like it either.

It won't be that bad. The farthest games will be DB and SH.

Have a feeling OR, West, Catholic, Fulton, and possibly Farragut will remain on the schedule, so with those teams if they do step up and schedule Maryville it will end up not being all that bad.

It won't be possible for all of those teams to be on maryville's schedule. With the new region maryville will have 3 non-conference games and we know alcoa will be one of them. So that would leave 2 spots to schedule other teams. Edited October 23, 2014 by Governors91

True, but I'm sure two of those teams I mentioned will step up. I know Gaddis would play them if asked. Gaddis and GQ have a good working relationship. You don't send your freshmen to OR to play us unless you do have good working relationship. I won't be surprised if we end up playing Maryville next year.

Which school went down to 5A to make room for Maryville? Lavergne?

I think Fulton is 4A

I think Fulton is 4A

Maryville & Fulton both have expressed interest in playing one another in the near future from what I have been hearing 4A or not.
