DB wins by 2 TDs in this game. Ive seen both teams in person. DB is playing much better football and it seems like OR has slowly given worse effort in this last half of the season.

Upperman is west of Cookeville Chattanooga has East Ridge, Signal Mountain, Hixson, Soddy Daisy, and Red Bank

Historically, Sequoyah goes to Chattanooga region 3. There are 5 4a teams in the Chattanooga area. You need to send Sequoyah down their to have a 6 team region.

I don't think they get approved either. It's based off their actual enrollment right now. Not potential future enrollment

That would put them in 4a. I can see why they want to go ahead and move down

Okay didnt know that. How many 8th graders on average does Eagleton have?

I maybe making the trip down to watch this game. Im taking CF in a win by 2 TDs.

I saw Heritage is petitioning to move down to 4a because of Eagleton. Do they really think that many kids will go to Eagleton?

I feel like this is a must win game for Maryville, and I expect them to come fired up. Im going to take Maryville winning by 1 TD

Man this is a tough one. D2-AAA is just an entirely different kind of animal being average in that division means you dominate most D1 teams. I think Catholic down from last year. Im going with Powell by 1 TD

AC has 2 players with D1 Offers. Gavin Noe who commited to Navy and Bryson Vowell a WR who has several D1 offers Tennessee Tech, UT Martin, Memphis etc... his largest one being Iowa. But other than those 2 they don't have any D1 talent.

Olecotton is a troll imitating a coach from AC

That is an extremely fair assessment of what Ive seen so far.

That's what I was thinking. Region 1 would have to travel all the way into knoxville then get on I-75 north and travel 15 to 20 mins north to Anderson Co. Northview is close to Interstate 40 just a few miles

Clinton is pretty deflated right now being eliminated from Post-Season play. They had a lot of hype going in and it is all gone. Feel sorry for their kids and parents. I know they want to be successful.

Going by geography I don't think they send AC north but who knows when it comes to TSSAA. They probably wouldn't want an 8 team region and then a 6 Teams region in region 1. I personally would love an 8 team region from a fan perspective. But I was informed that Alcoa is in fact discussing moving up and they prefer to have all the teams in the area in with them in an 8 team region. I would say that this is obviously all gossip that I've received and I have no way to corroborate that information

Your benefit would be playing AC regular season and Greeneville and Betsy post-season. Tougher road but you would still be favored to come out of the east. If they send Northview to region 1 I don't think moving up helps with your scheduling issue. Unless something magical happened and they took the top 4a, 5a, and 6a teams in east Tennessee and put them in a region with you I don't think moving up would be a big step up for you regardless of the division you are in. The only step up in competitiveness would come in post season

Worried about all the Knox teams running again makes sense.

I really dont think those schools play up again even if they know Alcoa is coming If Alcoa knows those schools won't move up and they get a larger region I think they are coming.

Why wouldn't they? It fixes their scheduling issue. I dont have any inside info about Alcoa, but it makes sense to me. They would still be favored to win the east side of the state. Year end and year out they would be favored to win against AC, Betsy, and Greeneville. It would be tougher games for them for sure compared to what they play regular season now and first few rounds of playoff. I think those State Championship Betsy and Greeneville teams could have or would have beat Alcoa.

I believe Alcoa will move up to 4a. That would be an 8 team region and would help them with their scheduling.

No change to the number of classifications. Who is in each classification has changed because off new cut-off numbers and schools changing size. There will be new regions shake-ups

Yes, I think it does. I think Northview and Seymour both come to Region 2 with Scott High going back down to 3A. Seymour and Northview are like 5 miles apart and Northview is actually closer to upper east tennessee. I don't see Seymour staying in Region 1.

How do you think that region should be broken up?

I think you send Rhea and McMinn down to chattanooga bring in East Hamilton
