Who is going to appeal their region placement?

Anyone hearing word on teams who are playing up in Classification the next 2 seasons?

Any word about teams thinking about playing up for travel or competition?

Any word about teams thinking about playing up for travel or competition?

5 classifications for football is what most are hearing. What are you hearing about the other sports?

Next year will be a reclassification year. What is everyone hearing about changes? Stay the same? Go to 4 Classifications across the board?

Thoughts?

Any word on the coaching search?

Anybody hearing anything on the Volunteer head coaching  job?

Please post schools who will be moving up when classifications are released. I know Elizabethton is most likely moving up. Anyone else?

Thanks again for all the feedback. A few more questions that I'm still fuzzy on after reading this thread and the one Red Rebels linked:

 

Jefferson High School - was this is Dandridge? Nicknames/colors?

Parrottsville - nicknames/colors? Successor school? I see a few years of scores in the early-to-mid 70s but that's it.

Alcoa Hall - what's the story with this school? I see scores in 1967 but none before or after.

Jefferson is in Jefferson City. They are now a middle school and still known as the Elks. Blue/White.

PUMMELKING, I need to add Englewood and Etowah as well. Right now, I am short on schedules/scores pre-1969, and I think those schools ceased around 1965 or 1966. But, I will add those very soon as I start pulling the pre-1969 years.

 

One other question for the board:

 

Many of the old papers refer to Tazewell, Mountain City, and Huntsville. Are these Claiborne, Johnson County, and Scott as we know them today? I assume so but want to be sure.

Mountain City is in Johnson County.

I am trying to track down some information on some old/closed East Tennessee schools. Specifically, I am looking primarily for the nicknames and, if known, the school colors of a handful of schools:

 

Knox. Austin

Knox. East

Boones Creek

Friendsville

Lake City

Lanier

Maury

Porter

Spring City

Surgoinsville

Townsend

Walland

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Boones Creek Bars

Colors: Red and Silver

They were part of consolidation into Daniel Boone.

Jonesboro Tigers

Orange and White

consolidation into David Crockett

Maury Hornets

Orange and Blue

Jefferson County High

1994 Boone 15, Crockett 12

1997 Crockett 25, Boone 21

Alcoa.

Taylor resigned from Citadel Broadcasting because of his expanding job/role at Tri-Cities Christian School. That is what he is doing now.

Blazers win 19 - 6. Pretty good football game, hinged on a couple of big plays and Boone seemed to struggle in the red zone.

If Crockett doesn't turn the ball over then they will have a shot to knock off the Northsiders. Turnovers have killed them this year. Their record doesn't indicate how good this team is, but they have made too many mistakes. This is a season making game if they can pull it off. Best of luck to both teams.

In a close one, as much as it pains me to say this:

Blazers 21 Pioneers 14

Boone has had success as of late, but can Crockett get the gun back this year?

Is there any news on the young man injured in the North/South game? I was not there, but heard there was a serious injury.

East: Had alot of talent return after a 9-4 season.

West: Lost alot of starters from 06'

Boone: A Young team last season.

Volunteer: Brings alot back.

GV: New coach could really help.

Cherokee: Not sure but I think they lost alot.

Crockett: Still improving

Cocke Co.: I have not heard.

 

Does anyone care to elaborate on any of these teams?

Crockett will be improved, lost several skill people, but also graduated some cancers from the team. Coach Green has done a good job, and the Pioneers should be better.

Boone lost their quarterback to Science Hill, and several starters.

Greeneville will be better.

West will have 150 players and be reloaded.

East will finish second.

Cherokee will be decent.

Volunteer will probably make the playoffs.

I don't know about Newport.

Never got to see him play, but I here Marty Street was the best player on one of the best teams in Carter Co. history.

Does Kingsport own the league or is there a challenger? Any surprises this year?

How does Region 2-4A look this year. West and East are both going to be good, but will Greeneville be back? Is Volunteer for real? How about Boone? Is Crockett still on the upswing? Give your opinion.
