tssaa website, tmsaa section has a listing of schools by area, by section, but East Section does not break down by large and small school. Area 1 is mainly made up of small schools, except for city middle schools in tri cities plus blountville and north. city schools include science hill, vance, 2 kingsport schools, plus colonial heights and elizabethton, and unicoi. Other than elizabethton and hampton, most carter county schools arent' members so they play alot of games, and practice all the time. Cloudland usually dominates the county division. Alot of the schools in Washington County don't participate, other than university high. I think the season game limits and season starting and ending times are one of the big detractors for membership. There are so many opportunities for tournament and offseason play in East TN. If you are preparing for high school ball, you want to play as many games as you can.
