Yeah, I have noticed several Thanksgiving tournaments going to this format. I think it somehow counts differently towards the amount of games teams can schedule if it's not in an actual bracket format? I could be completely wrong. Appreciate the info!
Heard the schools in D2-AAA have elected not to make up any games postponed by COVID. Looks like that decision has already affected the standings as Morristown West was supposed to face South Doyle and Seymour this week on the girls' side. It was reported both SD and Seymour had COVID issues, forcing postponements. So, MoWest sits at 2-0 in the IMAC and has played just one non-district game since their season started on Nov. 17.
What a year...
Morristown West has won 30+ games four years in a row and will appear in their fourth straight Class AAA state tournament. I'm sure this has happened before...could anyone tell me how many different programs have accomplished this feat and perhaps the years they did so?
I know the Greeneville Lady Devils did so from 2004-2007 while winning 124 games when they were still in Class AAA.
Just curious about it and thought I'd do a little polling research.
Morristown East at Morristown West postponed to Jan. 9, 2017
Cocke County at Jefferson County postponed to Jan. 9, 2017
South-Doyle at Seymour postponed to Jan. 31, 2017
Sevier County at Cherokee postponed (makeup date TBD)
Region 1 will have some quality Hall of Fame games on Thursday night. Morristown West travels to Dobyns-Bennett in a rematch of last year's R1-AAA title bout. And Morristown East - under new head coach Michael Potts - will tangle with Daniel Boone in Gray.
According to Austin Price, Bearden has hired Jeremy Parrott as its new boys basketball coach. Parrott was long-time coach at Cherokee High School. Led the Chiefs to the state tournament a few years ago.
Jefferson County football coach Kenny Cobble has resigned to take a position on George Quarles' coaching staff at Maryville. Patriots looking another head coach.
All games to be played at Morristown East High School.

I believe the D1-AAA tournament will be held at Dobyns-Bennett. I'm sure someone has that schedule.
The post you just referenced is from last season, jcpat.
Jeff Co and MoWest split the IMAC regular season title this season. Jeff Co gets the No. 1 seed in the district tournament thanks to their sweep of West, but the teams split the regular season title by rule because both finished 12-2 in district play.
Morristown West has soundly defeated both Powell and Tennessee High. Not sure if Powell is as good as they used to be, but the win at Viking Hall was pretty impressive. Have Boone and Science Hill on the schedule, so a chance to prove they are one of the teams to beat in Region 1.
