Here's my $0.02 worth.....
Far from a powerhouse region, BUT.......other than the number of top tier athletes - Columbia, FC, Spring Hill, and Shelbyville will always have 1 or 2, and sometimes 3 kids that are as good or better than most in the state. Tullahoma, Lawrence Co., & Lincoln Co., sees those top tier athletes less frequently, but they do come through. Travel, gate, and atmosphere will all certainly improve, particularly for Law.Co, LincCo., T-town, and FC.
