Yeah Big G, just saw the TSWA list myself was wondering that myself with CCS?! We (Dyersburg) made it to the Quarter finals this year but met a much better side in CAK. Thought we would get a nod or two on the ALL STATE Roster we did have a 42 goal; 21 Assist in Nic Berry and a Defense that allowed only 18 goals in 23 games albeit from the lowly West TN area, but I have know idea how to get kids nominated for TSWA. And even having major problems just trying to get THSSCA A/AA All State Team announced. Folks are real uncommunicative theses days..We need you Big G!

Was wondering the same thing ALL summer for A/AA ALL STATE Team

McNairy Central 4 Martin Westview 1

Dyersburg 4 Trinity Christian Academy 2

Region 7 A/AA Dyersburg 8 Martin Westview 1

Kingsbury 3 Dyersburg 1

Region 7 A/AA Semifinals - Dyersburg 4 Haywood Co. 1 Milan 3 Westview 2 This was a big upset! Westview beat Milan last week 5-0 REGION 7 A/AA FINAL - Tuesday night @ 6:00 pm @ Dyersburg Dyersburg vs Milan

Region 7 A/AA (Combined District 13, since they only had 2 teams, with District 14 so no District tournaments just Region) Quarterfinals Westview 3 Covington 0 Milan 3 (Overtime) Crockett 2 Haywood 3 Peabody 1 Dyersburg 7 McKenzie 1

My guess is that surely the two #1 seeds will be in separate sides of the brackett and and the two #2 seeds also in separate sides for instance....if TCA beat Madison then seeding would be: 1) TCA 2) Kingsbury 3) Madison 4) Sheffield 5) Dist 15 #3 6) Dist 15 #4 7) Dist 15 #5 etc. etc. So if top seeds win all their matches the semifinals would be: #1 (TCA)vs #4 (Sheffield) #2 (Kingsbury) vs #3 (Madison) good luck

Not sure it's a TSSAA deal. As a matter of fact, our A.D. is very by the "Book" and was very concerned when I presented our Region concept after all us coaches agreed on it and he was concerned we were making up rules and effectively eliminating Districts and potentially limiting games played....meaning = less money making.....However we then got the approval since I guess it had been done before (splitting into divisions, etc). TSSAA is a good scapegoat, however, they are typically pretty flexible with District guidelines ie. Tie-breaker rules, etc. The old way they did it was Districts do their thing regardless of the # of teams. You all play your 11 team District tourney; the two teams in the other district play or use their regular season game to seed themselves and do the region semi's and finals just like two normal districts (1st and 2nd places) come together for the Region. It will just be interesting to see how they incorporate Kingsbury and Sheffield in the seeding process.

I was wondering myself how District 15 and 16 were going to proceed because of the concerns you mentioned. In District 13 and District 14 we had the same issues turn up after the new classification was posted...two teams in District 13 and 9 teams in District 14. TSSAA will not allow for a District Tournament when there are only a two team or less District size. Apparently, District 15 and 16 had already done this before during the last 4-yr classification period (There was only one team from District 16). We had three teams from District 15 come into District 14 for the new classification period that were part of the process for just having a regional tournament. All teams from District 15 and 16 were put together and split into two Divisions and you only had to play your divisional opponents. This accomplished many positive things such as, limited the number of matches you had to play so you were available to play higher quality teams, etc., prevented the one or two teams from waiting a week until the other District played out there District Tourney for both positive and negative reasons, etc. etc.... So, this year District 13/14 adopted what they had done, but we started the planning process back in October. We split the Region 7 A/AA into East and West Divisions: East - Westview, Peabody, Milan, McKenzie, Obion Central, Gibson Co. West - Dyersburg, Covington, Crockett, Haywood, Ripley TSSAA approved the process and we went forward and so far it has worked very smoothly with our final planning meeting this Weds and two weeks to complete a Regional Tournney with 11 teams involved. I understand your concern, because I asked a few of the District 15 coaches if they were doing a District Tourney or Region only and they really didn't know at the time and I knew they were scheduling all District 15 teams and Kingsbury and Sheffield (District 16) weren't in the equation. I will really be interested in seeing the Brackett. I understand your concern doing this type of scheduling, after the fact. You all have had a great season and Tuesday Madison vs TCA is definitely on my the radar screen!
