I would like to point out that only 15% of the Division I teams in the state are located in West TN (not including Memphis/Shelby Co. area). This could be one reason for the region not winning a whole bunch of state championships.
I am not trying to make excuses for West TN, but facts are facts.
We don't have a chance at winning the 5A championship, because we don't even have a 5A school.
Also, we only have 7 schools that are in 4A, out of a total of 60.
Basically, your observation, while true, is criticizing the region with the least number of teams for having the least number of state championships. I could have predicted that, without knowing a thing about Tennessee high school football.
GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
