Keep in mind not all of these appeals are football related. A school can appeal to move regions for other sports as well.

I think this appeal would be a toss-up and could go either way... One hand it creates shorter travel times on average for you and adds another team to the east side of the state. Other hand 4 miles and 7 minutes is probably not a big enough gap and that drops region 6 down to four teams. Anyone heard any other 1A/2A teams looking or considering an appeal?

Congrats to all these young men for even being recognized for this award.

You're more than likely correct about this. Just seems like the logical and appropriate thing to do is to be transparent and tell everyone we will push back setting the regions so we can appropriately investigate the current issue. 1. This helps TSSAA build some trust with schools because they are actually doing something about the issue and not continuing to ignore/sweep it under the rug. 2. Definitely promotes player safety. 3A/4A school playing down in 2A can create a safety issue especially if those 3A/4A teams are playing one of the smaller 2A schools while having a definite numbers advantage. 3. Pushing regions back to January does not hurt or effect scheduling for teams at all. Most teams will complete their non-region schedule within 24-72 hours of the region schedules being posted anyway. If I am incorrect here or not considering something, someone please let me know.

Why not push the regions back to January and do a full investigation into this issue and make it right? Even if it doesn't end up changing a single team it would be a much better look for the tssaa.

How many and which schools could this change enrollment for? Also saw Peabody wish to use their original number which would leave them in 2A. Am I reading that correct?

Every team struggles at some point. Even Alcoa hasn't won every Championship the last 20years. Rural communities, especially those that have endured what Waverly has, often struggle more. Give the coach time, this team is young. Two years from now they will be back in the playoff hunt and three years from now may be a serious contender.

Last Week.. McKenzie beat Giles Houston beats Jo Byrns McEwen beat HRB West Carroll beat KIPP Perry beats Middleton This Week... McKenzie @ West Carroll McEwen @ Houston HRB @ Perry Obviously the biggest game in this region this week is McEwen and Houston. Just like last year it has an impact on playoff seeding. The big difference this year is the winner gets to host a playoff game. The other games this week are bragging rights, prepping for playoffs, and trying to finish the season with a win. Good luck to all the teams hoping for injury free games. As far as the new classification my feeling is the remaining 5 will stay together and Wayne and Collinwood will both stay south with Richland and that crew.

Give me... Moore Co to beat the Raiders who have been sliding the last two games. Eagleville who catching fire at the right time over Cornersville Huntland who has been gaining momemtum over C'wood Liberty Creek over WC after a very long drive in a close one since there is so much at stake for WC.

Does the competitiveness come from these teams all being top notch teams are are they all in the average to good range with no team just being superior? Example in region 6 it is obvious that McKenzie is head and shoulders above the rest with Houston Co and McEwen appearing to be second tier teams. Would you anyone in the top 4 of this region is close to McKenzie or are they all above, even, or below Houston and McEwen?

Last Week.. McEwen beat Perry Camden beat WC This Week.. McKenzie travels to Giles Houston Co travels to Jo Byrns Mcewen host Hollow Rock Bruceton West Carroll travels to KIPP - Memphis Playoff Picture seems pretty clear... McKenzie - 1 Winner of Houston/McEwen - 2 Loser of Houston/McEwen - 3 West Carroll - 4 Can anyone tell me if the McEwen and HRB game would have any impact on playoff seeding at this point?

Last Week... McKenzie rolls HC and secures Region Championship WC holds on to beat HRB McEwen drills Waverly This Week.... Perry host McEwen in a huge must win for the Vikings to keep playoff hopes alive. WC host Camden. McKenzie and HC have byes

Based on reported injuries on this board, this scenario is now very realistic.

Late to the party this week but... Last Week.. McKenzie beats Perry Houston beats HRB McEwen beats West Carroll This week... McKenzie @ Houston - McKenzie wins they remain Region Champs and Houston has to beat McEwen for 2nd. Houston pulls what might be considered the biggest upset in 1a and they have a chance to be region champs in who knows how long. West Carroll @ HRB - from the sound of things WC has lost several key players that will impact this one. McEwen host Waverly - cross county rivalry that should go to McEwen this year, but you never know with those types of rivalry games. Perry Co has the bye.

Congratulations to this young man. UTM is getting a solid player and from what I have been told an Awesome Teammate.
