When it comes to the TSSAA and regions who knows but this is my stab at it! I could totally be wrong and it's hard to decipher what TSSAA will do when splitting up the state.
East to West or North to South?
There is a lot of travel in some of these regions but how the state and 2A teams are spread out in some areas it is what it is.
East 26 Schools
Region 1: Hampton, Happy Valley, South Greene, West Greene, Eagleton, Cumberland Gap, Oneida, and Wartburg
*Region 1 has a lot of travel and is the biggest region with 8 teams.
Region 2: Jackson County, Smith County, Monterey, York, Trousdale, Westmoreland, and East Robertson
Region 3: Tellico Plains, Polk, Bledsoe, Marion, and Fayetteville
*Region 3 is the trickiest region to predict because of the distance between the schools and lack of 2A schools close to each other. Also, the smallest region in the state with only 5 teams so someone from another region could potentially move here.
Region 4: Cascade, Forrest, Harpeth, East Hickman, Cannon, and Hickman County
West 25 Schools
Region 5: Summertown, Loretto, Lewis, Riverside, Adamsville, and Mt. Pleasant
Region 6: Camden, Huntingdon, JCM, Milan, Gipson, Waverly, and Peabody
*Hands down the toughest region in the state and the West representative will come from this region most if not all years.
Region 7 and 8: Memphis Schools
