    I’m just talking about the east side of the bracket vs the west side. For so long the East has been light years ahead of the west. I think that gap closed last year. This Haywood team reminds me a lot of last years Tullahoma team. Tullahoma was 11-1 the year before last and brought back a ton. This Haywood team was 12-1 and brought back a ton. They also had a big addition in the coaching department with the addition of Josh Puckett. He was the head coach at Lake Co when they won the 1A championship in 2019. He is now Haywood’s line coach and has those boys right in the trenches. I ain’t saying they will win the gold ball but this is the best team I can remember Haywood fielding in a VERY long time. 

    I agree with everything stated! This team is definitely different! Whoever plays Haywood better bring their A-game!

    No worries. That comment may have struck a nerve in me at that moment. I always get a laugh when people comment about our size. I remember in 2017 when we played Haywood County in the semis; I watched their steam the next day and the color announcer couldn’t believe we were beating them because all he could say was “They’re so little.”

    I don’t think anyone means any disrespect to Munford’s team with their comments. I do think everyone is going off of what we have seen from the Memphis teams we have played the last two years. I tend to agree that the teams in that region haven’t played the same caliber of teams as teams from our region.  
    Looking forward to the trip, the drive down and back not so much. 

    You have to overlook our announcers! LOL  They can get a little loose with their style of announcing! (I am not a fan of at all). They do not represent the majority of the fan base as to how they think!

    Munford has a nice facility! Their visitor side is small so get there in plenty of time! Their band is as good as you will see in high school anywhere! 

    Being a Tomcat fan, i will have to pull for the cougers in this one. They may have a "weaker" schedule but i believe they will give a closer game than most anticipate!

    I just wish the game could be played somewhere in middle Tennessee. The travel always favors the east teams. 

    I agree!! I know this is a crazy idea (y'all don't laugh at me) but i think it would be nice for the Championship location move from east to west just like the "Home team" rotates each year. So for example, this year the west side of the bracket is the home team therefore the final game could be at AP, or UTM, or even the Liberty Bowl. There are other locations that are options but the general idea is my point. 

     

  24. How to improve the playoffs

    I don't think there will ever be a reduction in the number of classes. There are alot of sub standard teams making the show in each class. Do you want to improve the overall quality of the playoff field? Of course you do. Nobody wants to see the same old 4 at 1 seed blowouts that are so poorly attended that the host loses money. I think we all agree on this. I have  a simple solution that will automatically increase field quality while having the least possible financial impact. 

    The solution is to not allow the 4 seed from each region to qualify for the playoffs and give all first seed teams a first round bye as a reward for being region champion. All first round games are 2 v 3 seed. A partial bracket example using regions 7 and 8 as the example. Region 7 #1 gets top bracket bye and will play winner of game between region 7 #3 at region 8 #2. The bottom of the bracket has region 8 #1 with a bye and then playing winner of region 8 #3 at region 7 #2.  Will there be some bad 2v3 games? Maybe so. Since most 4 at 1 seeds are horrible , those are gone. 2 seed v 3 seed games usually are better. You are eliminating 8 teams in each class, D1 1A thru 6A. 8 mostly lopsided games per class are eliminated. You get the net effect  of basically eliminating a class (8 #4 seeds per class) while not eliminating any championships. You ensure a higher quality field to start your playoffs with and also give the remaining teams a better financial situation and you keep the 4 seeds at home which saves them money they really don't need to spend on busses and food when the chance of a victory are virtually non-existant. Seems pretty simple to me. My proposal I think goes a long way towards increasing field quality while giving my new system more of an old school feel. It's a win win for all. Thus is all just my opinion.

    I like this idea, as well as mixing up the region match ups like Georgia appears to do. I can't see how it helps a kid when he plays for a 2-8 4 seeded team getting trampled 60-0 on his last game of his (likely) football career. I understand those cinderella teams come around every so often but just don't think it's often enough to have those games!

    Good idea!
