Gibson County and Tipton Rosemark moved to 8:00.

The true question is not who the favorites are, because so far it's either a team out of region 6 or Fayetteville. The question we should all be asking is who will be the surprise teams? That's the teams that are not on a favorites list that will come out of nowhere and make some noise. What are all your thoughts on that?

Just throwing this out there. Michigan uses a playoff point system to determine whose in. It used to be if you won 6 games (they play a 9 game regular season), you were automatically in the playoffs. However, that led to teams playing weak schedules to make it in. Then in 2020 they adjusted it to using playoff points based on strength of schedule and who your opponents played.

Division One Breakdown Based Off Of Enrollment Numbers:

1A:  Gleason (122) through Houston County (371) 

2A:  Manassas (374) through Sheffield (540) 

3A:  Trezevant (541) through Raleigh Egypt (724) 

4A:  Unicoi County (726) through White County (1,113) 

5A:  Lawson/Hillwood (1,121) through Oak Ridge (1,549) 

6A:  Clarksville (1,555) through Collierville (2,827) 

Pretty close to what I was figuring.

If a team has the mercy rule applied to them 5 times or more for two seasons in a row then they should have to give up football for 2 years.  We have 6 levels now.  Have for a long time.  There is no excuse for keeping a program around like that.  Possibly, an exception could be made for 1A but only if they have an enrollment of less than 200.

Wow….this almost one of those “Tell me you didn’t play high school football” without saying you didn’t play high school football.

It's been mentioned that playing a HS varsity game on Thursdays could hurt middle school attendance. That is a definite truth, especially in small towns where fans attend both kind of games. The other thing is many of the MS game officials are also officials on Friday nights. So are MS games going to have to be moved or cancelled?

Just like they said south pitt would've beat Fayetteville by 30 last year and what happened? Fayetteville was to big to physical and to fast might have been a good game but Fayetteville wins that game respectfully. if TSSAA doesnt go back on their word Fayetteville wins it all that yr as well. 

Yes Fayetteville beat South Pitt last season after being considered huge underdogs. Any team out of the west was going to be considered that. As to the LC/Fayetteville game from 2020, Fayetteville won by 2 scores. The 2019 version of the LC team could have named the score if they played the 2020 version of LC. Not only did the 2019 team held the class A Mr. Football to one catch, they also shut down a D-1 Va. Tech commit and made him look silly, apparently running the same play at him at least 10 times late in the game. 

Anyway, we can argue this all day, but it still doesn't change the fact that Fayetteville didn't play and LC won it all.

It’s a forfeit game. Lake County lost the game by not playing in TSSAA’s eyes. 1-0 Peabody 

Actually no. According to the TSSAA Board of Control meeting of August 16, it's handled this way:

Quote

The Board voted to continue handling game cancellations due to COVID-19 in that same manner as last year. If a school has to postpone a game due to COVID-19, the two schools have the option to make up the contest at a later date. If this cannot be worked out, the opposing team will receive a win for seeding purposes. The team that has to postpone due to COVID-19 cases does not receive a loss. In football, if the game is not made up and the team that cannot play due to COVID-19 is the visiting team, they would remain the visiting team the following year

So since Peabody and Lake County are making up (and using non-region scheduled game dates), it's a legit game.

We have 376 not 510 lake is 255 but I see your point ! Just a choice the coach’s made and as a community we supports them ! Glad to see WC most definitely should be playing meaningful ball again late in the year ! 

Lake county has 210 according to the school count, so Peabody is roughly 40 students shy of doubling Lake county up. And they (LC) want to play.

In the words of our lake county friends. It’s too late and we would not get enough practice in to play. 

Lake County schools have been closed since this past Friday, so they have not been able to practice at all. The earliest they could practice is tomorrow assuming that they don’t have to many guys in quarantine since the district does contact tracing. Tomorrow is when the district is going to open back up.

Ok Thanks.I thought it was at Ripley

It's at Ripley.

Has Coach Wolfe at West Carroll stepped down? Listed on the Teachers of West TN Facebook page is a list of position openings and one is for HS head football coach.

Everything you said is spot on. I would add North Side to the list of winnable games.

Obion's JV team lost to Northside's freshmen team something like 42-0 this past season. Not sure on winnable. 

Probably not, as previously mentioned. West Carroll radio crew had to set up in the visitor bleachers.

You caught us. We knew the only thing between us and a gold ball the next 2 years was Peabody. Darn it.

Getting beat by great teams like Lake Co and Cornersville ain't choking. It's tough going once you get deep in the play-offs. You don't know cause you've never been there!

I guess 6 since they'd actually bring a couple dozen fans to our home games. Wouldn't even get that playing in R8. I don't see us changing regions though. If by some reason we do McKenzie is likely coming too. Y'all are just as far west as we are just a little north.

Assuming Peabody goes 1A, I don't see the state having a 10 team region in 1A when everyone else has at most 6 teams. The 10 team region would be West Carroll, Peabody, McKenzie, Halls, Greenfield, Lake Co, Gleason, Humboldt, South Fulton and Dresden.

I’ll say it! Them boys sound scared, scared! Reading their posts, I think if y’all need someone to go to Nashville to petition for y’all to play up, the LC boys will go with ya.

LC took their lumps when Peabody and UC dominated Region 7 and got better. They'll play the game whether Peabody is on the field against them or not. Of course, when you are the largest school in 1A, you ought to be dominant. To be otherwise means they would underachieve.

You never know though with those clowns in Nashville.  I can’t see LC, McKenzie, Dresden, Greenfield, South Fulton, Gleason, West Carroll, and Bruceton all in the same region. And I doubt they would split to two 4 team regions. 

You never know what they ill do in Nashville. If they place they Rebels in region 7, it would the largest 1A region in the state with 8 teams.

How did Lake Co middle do against Union City. They beat the young Mustangs in 2 ot's.

They did not play this season. The only point of comparison between the two teams was their games vs Northview. Both teams lost to Northview. Union City lost 18-8. LC lost 48-36 while only dressing something like 16 players because a number had to be in quarantine.
