Thanks for the effort to spark some discussion but the 3A board is dead as a door nail. We've picked up a home school kid or three but no big name transfers for us. I expected us to be a transfer magnet and couldn't have been more wrong. This doesn't have the makings of a memorable season on the field or the message boards for my Rockets and I'm usually optimistic in July.

Moore and Cornersville have some of the better skill guys in the region but do they have any blockers? Both lost their best lineman and didn't have any depth last year.

No crying, no tears. Just facts. Good news is the teams that skirt the rules are all in the west and have to play each other!

Players and parents and coaches and administrators love uncertainty and vagueness. Hard to believe they could make the situation worse, but it seems they managed to do exactly that. So as you said we either have a one time transfer (wink, wink) or there's about to be a ton of teed off players and parents and coaches and administrators.

Quite a bit of Porter was involved with this post. Will be following for the big champion announcements.

You ain't that average groupie but Eagleville and Cornersville both said, no thanks. Region should be very competitive like last year.

I believe Eagleville has been shedding players about like Forrest so I'm not sure what kind of team they have. Rumor is they refused to schedule us and gave up a big gate.

Richland, Huntland, and Fayetteville battle for the top spot. The other 3 fight for their playoff lives.

Awesome to hear the region favorite's cup runneth over with QBs when some teams are struggling to find one.  We have two sophomores who look solid in 7on7's.

I don't speak for CPA fans. If one of our kids hadn't transferred to BGA I wouldn't be following the situation at all. I don't see consistency in a success formula for one school and one sport in the entire association. What is the success formula? It should be clearly defined and spelled out in the bylaws. Eagleville just won their 4th straight 1A baseball championship, when does their success formula kick in? BGA is loading up with transfers from across the state, why would TSSAA force their major rival and one of only 2 teams in the division who can challenge them up? Enrollment numbers don't mean nearly as much in privates as they do in publics.

Why did the success factor come into play if we only use enrollment numbers? Chatt Christain and Webb are both bigger than the schools you mentioned, what division do they participate in? Football (three classes, Class AAA by declaration and success formula, other classes split evenly)

Shelbyville is 6A. Page, Beech, Henry Co in the west. In the east - Sevier, Powell, Maybe Tullahoma/ Lincoln or Walker Valley as sleepers. They picked up 2 good ones from us who were solid in 2A. We'll see what they look like in 5A but our 2024 transfer was a handful for DII-AA and a playmaker for BGA.

Who are the projected QB starters for Region 4 this season? SC and Giles have returning starters back. Forrest probably starts a sophomore QB this season. Who is next man up at Watertown and Community since their QB1 transferred? Cascade?

The school the transfer leaves has the ability to nullify or challenge the transfer and the transfer is ruled ineligible. The next step is a hardship appeal or the bona fide change of address. I was not aware of this either until reading the article.
