By saying this, you're telling me that Milan will finish the season ahead of Riverside in the standings? If not, then you have Adamsville/Peabody... This is the one region that it doesn't matter as much where you finish in the region standings. It matters, but I think it carries little weight.

Chester County was arguably the best 3 win team last year. I was impressed with their play at times. I was also disappointed with them at times as well. Chester County should not have lost to TCA last year, they dropped a game to Milan in a game where they were leading late and could've won. They lost to Dyer County last year by 1 point. They lost to South Gibson in Medina in OT. Lexington was a game they probably could've/should've won. Chester County were just a few plays from being 5-5/6-4 last year. When the officials botched the late call in the Lexington/Hardin County game, I do believe that eliminated Chester County from the playoffs. That game had little impact to Lexington when it comes to seeding. I know the Eagles are losing Schippers are Barnham, but they should be good enough to get into the playoffs. How far? I'm not sure. Questionable region for sure.

I agree, the only reason why I would put Riverside at 1 was due to being state champions, that's it. I think Haywood is the "best team" because they did well in the second half of the season. Henry County also lost their QB. I'm curious to see where Covington will stand. When it comes to Huntingdon, and I'll be honest, I am burned out from the "This might be Huntingdon's year" crowd. I do appreciate their passion.

There's no respect to the defending state champions in Riverside. In the last 3 years, Riverside went to the state semi-finals and lost to Westview (Simpson's senior year), state title game and lost by 2 points, and won the state championship this past December. Now, if they beat Westview, they arguably win the state championship game because Westview/Hampton was a blowout game. Riverside has played on Black Friday 4 of the last 5 years.

Since we are doing non-Shelby County teams 1: Riverside 2: Haywood 3: Henry County 4: McKenzie 5: Dyersburg 6: Huntingdon 7: JCS 8: Covington 9: TCA 10: Union City

I know we're not doing Shelby County teams, but I do believe Houston and Southwind are the two best teams in West Tennessee. I do believe both of those teams can make another deep run and potentially can make it back (Houston's case) to Chattanooga. Houston's path is easier, but I do believe Southwind has the best QB in West Tennessee. I'll even say they have the best QB in the western side of I-65.

Yes, Peabody was listed for 405 students in the 2023-2025 classification. The lowest school in 2A was MASE with 378 students. There are actually 13 schools in between Peabody's 405 and MASE 378. Not sure how many students Peabody averaged this previous school year. I'm just saying if they're in the 370's then I could see them in 1A because based on the current classification system, 374-378 separated the highest 1A school (Houston County) and the lowest 2A school (MASE).

You know schools are trying to figure out strategic plans for that to occur. Peabody would have to find a way to jump 12 schools for that to happen.

Is this post necessary? It's just one game...

That was the Z-Plan, right? If so, I didn't have a problem with that.

Taking off two weeks "immediately" after the school year would not be fair for the spring sport athletes that also participate in fall sports, it's not just football players alone. The dead period isn't going change anytime soon.

Good, hopefully it’ll make that side of 4A more entertaining.

Pencil them in for Black Friday due to the district 7 and region 8 being weak. Pearl-Cohn is still the favorite out of the Regions 5/6 but there are much better suitors to potentially eliminate PC compared to the suitors trying to eliminate Haywood.

Don't think the TSSAA would matter about traveling due to the games being on Friday night. In addition, we also see teams travel a far distance for a regional basketball game on a week night. If the TSSAA cared about traveling, then I have a feeling the state championship games wouldn't be in Chattanooga.

It depends. With TSSAA receiving money from schools for ejections, then I’m hopeful they would be entertained by the idea, but I doubt it. A lot of money they would be missing out on.
