Does this have a chance to be the worst 2A district in the state? What others could be worse

Well you made the argument that Carthage and Dekalb were both good that year because they would’ve played for a district championship if they beat Upperman.. so in one breathe you say winning the district means you’re good and then the next breathe you say that you can’t help playing a weak district schedule. Help me make sense of this

What do you mean show up? Clay went to the state championship game 2 years ago from our district. You saying they were a cupcake too ?

I can’t speak on the Dekalb points because we didn’t play them except for a scrimmage . We went 5-5 in 1A and beat Carthage that year so I wouldn’t say they were that good. So yea if they both would’ve beat Upperman it would’ve been for the championship but it was a weak district

Wow I never knew this. Thanks

York was good yes but played Jv teams and Herron kept him in and ran the score up. With an average schedule he doesn’t put up anywhere near those stats. Not discrediting how good of a player he was that year but the stats are misleading as well as the scores. I personally think that overall the 12 Livingston team was better than your 13 squad and I also think McCoin and York were one and the same. McCoin just played a better schedule and didn’t stay in to stat pad

I just did some digging into these old teams. Is it true that Cloudland and Hampton played twice a year every year from 99-02? Could just be a typo on the ghsfha website

Your 13 team is overrated in my opinion. You guys played a jv schedule til the 3rd round of the playoffs

Who will be top dog in this region? The traditionally good programs in this region all had a down year last year. I assume most years the winner will be either Gordonsville, TC, or Carthage. Who takes it in 2025?

I think Carthage will be better then Gordonsville this year

Gordonsville won’t give much resistance I’m afraid

Idk man. Trousdale & Carthage aren’t what they once were but us beating both of them is never a gimme and I expect both of them to be much improved from last year

I’m not real sure how Gordonsville is considered a top 10 2A team. We went 6-5 with a first round exit last year in 1A

@RocketHouse are you surprised that TSSAA botched the alignment of the classifications? It’s well known they are incompetent

Well the region alignment isn’t the question here. I can’t answer for why TSSAA does what they do. The question is what would it benefit Pickett Co to play a region schedule. The answer is, it doesn’t. Even if they were to beat RBS or Innovation Academy, they’d almost certainly get a first round trip to South Pittsburg and get walloped so what does that benefit them? It doesn’t make the program any more money at all. You could argue that program would make more money by playing independent and playing smaller schools closer to them to hopefully get some wins and hopefully increase the attendance
