let's get some things straight. first of all the post season has been greatly expanded. the duals have only been around since 88, and the traditional state tournament has grown from a 16 to a 32 man bracket (not including the split). it is true that teams such as east ridge(in the past), hixson, ooltewah(in the future), and cleveland, do get a little passed over. however that is the way it goes sometimes.
