You're right. TSSAA does not follow those guidelines because in some cases you might have some divisions with a lot more schools than in another. They take all of the schools and divide them by 5. Then they start with the lowest classification, placing each team in a classification based on their total enrollment until that division has met its limit. That way it is fair for all schools involved. They do this every four years. During the four year period, if a school's enrollment increases over 25%, then the following year they will be placed in the next highest division. Remember, the previous circumstance can only take place if it occurs in the three year period between the mandated TSSAA reclassification years. So a school can start with a lower enrollment, but during that time if it does not jump over 25%, then that school will remain in the division it was placed originally. Hope this helps.

The rule book has no such regulation. That is a common thought among most casual fans, especially parents of the catcher. The only rule is to avoid contact, but it does not say a runner must slide. Another rule that is unique: When a fly ball is hit, the fielder must be in the process of taking it out with the throwing hand before the out is called. Meaning, if an outfielder catches a fly ball and runs to the pitchers mound and just drops the ball on the ground straight from his glove. Then, technically the runner should be called safe because the outfielder never attempted to take the ball out with his throwing hand. Baseball is a great sport where if you know all the nuances it makes it to be an even more interesting game.

This thread has turned into a Jo Byrns make out session. Guys, I understand you want to workout but just call each other on your own time. I feel like I just saw you two kiss a few threads a go. I was using sarcasm in those last couple of sentences. Truth is if you lose a lot of seniors it will take a small program like Jo Byrns a year or so to build back up. Even the most dominant 1-A teams have to rebuild. Trousdale did it this year. Friendship will go through it next year. You have had a good three years and the fact that your region is very weak does help you guys in trying to four-peat. Also since the region has expanded to a ten team region, Jo Byrns only has to play one nonregion game. Therefore, further strengthening the chances of the ole' Red and whatever the other color is (white or black) to go undefeated again this season. We had a very similar last couple of seasons in our region the past two years. For the most part, all of the teams in our region was horrible, therefore we have a stockpiled a very good region record. The good thing for Jo Bryns is you are the only competition you have right now in your region. But, to think that you can compete for a third/ fourth round playoff game is a little bit of a stretch. Out.

Anybody seen Bigtuck and his mouth? He claimed that JB was unbeatable and that they deserved to be recognized as the best. You lost Bigtuck.

Anybody seen BigTuck and his mouth.

I agree, but your bashing Houston County. Didn't you only beat them by 7 this year?

Did you just read only part of my other post? Then it is Satterfields fault for not fielding a JV roster. If he has 21 freshmen and sophomores then that is more than enough to schedule 3 to 5 JV games. I'm sorry, though. Satterfield putting 90 on RBS is rediculous. I mean Goodpasture, us, David Lipscomb will win by 40 or 50, but 90 is when you are being stupid. Why do that to the other team? We could if we wanted to also, but we have class and Trousdale does not.

Sattefield does not dress freshmen so that he can say he only has 23 players on the team. Do you really believe that a school like Trousdale would only have 23 players on the roster? Kids would give anything to be on that team, because you are guaranteed a ring in your four-year career. Satterfield has been known to run it up consistently throughout his tenure as a headcoach. Why are giving him a break? Here is the thing, David Lipscomb wins big every week, but their coach is not known for running it up on you. The reason is because he knows that once he reaches a certain point, he will let up. He won't through it. Satterfield will purposefully try to put 90 up this weekend so that he can send a message to the teams around 1-A that he is back. Also, if your freshmen team is in and you are throwing the ball up by 50 you should be fired. Freshmen play JV to get to run the real offense, they do not play varsity to get to do it. Dives and traps are all they should run, maybe an occasional toss. That is the entire point of having JV games, so they won't feel let out and they get to learn football during the Monday night games. Freshmen must learn that you have to earn it before you get to play in front of the big crowds on Friday nights.

We have had several make impacts throughout the year. But, other schools in our Region have also. Adamsville possibly going to the playoffs. I am guessing their coaches have done a pretty solid job with that team. Their new offense shows that their coaches are making changes in a good way, implementing shotgun more into their system. Waverly is another school that their coaches have done a solid job with that team. Houston County is yet another school whose coaches have solidly turned that team around this year. HC's offensive coaches have done a solid job, converting to the various wing-t formations. Also, our coaches as well as Lewis County's complete coaching staffs have done another great job. Congrats to all the teams mention in Region 6-2A.

Congrats to GP and CPA. The past five years they have been on fire. Personally, it all goes back to being truly dedicated by their recruiters. I think Trooper Taylor worked for GP for awhile, so he could bring in a certain type of athlete. These schools absolutely deserve every pat on the back they get. I tell you what though, GP's coaches must be on needles and pins, due to all of the pressure on them to win because of all the talented bussed in from around the Nashville area. The reason I say this is because Alcoa is a public school and they tapped GP last year. That is inexcusable by GP to get beat by a public school, especially when you guys pay a lot of money to get those players. Look I just hope that we can get past the first round against you Region 5 guys. You guys have convinced me that we are just country trash.

You're an idiot. Who are you? You do not have to do it the Camden way to have things right. If our way was the right way, then freaking everybody would run our offense, play our defense, workout the same way. However, that system works for us, but let me tell you something chief. What would a Goodpasture fan say to you? Let me guestimate, "Well son, you need to hire 10 coaches just for football and do things like this and like that." You see, to people of Goodpasture and every program their way is the right way for that particular school system. Jo Byrns coach, coaches everything from Middle School all the way to high school. According to your philosophy, Jo Byrns should be terrible because their head coach does more than just coach high school football. To tell a school that our way is the only way to do things is stupid. We are not the proverbial state champions. We do not have the tradition that David Lipscomb has, but according to you every school should follow the Camden way. You are moronic. Waverly keep doing what you are doing because your system is working for you.

Wow, all of 2-1 better than Region 6. That is incredible, let us go ahead and tell Alcoa that they better watch out for you Region 5 guys. You are right, in one year you have shown the world that you are better than us Region 6 slackers posting an impressive 2-1 record versus us. My goodness with a record that astounding we might as well call you Region 5 guys, Goliath and us poor Region 6 boys, the proverbial David. I hope you guys are kind to us in the playoffs. Hey one more question. You Region 5 guys are so far superior in football knowledge, I thought I should ask you a question. Maybe you could answer it for me. Did you know that during a game we saw a team throw a forward lateral and they called it a pass? Can you do that? We called them out on it and said that was illegal, but they said that you could do that. Really? We need some help from you two superiors: CPA/ Goodpasture.

First, last year's Richland team, beat the Region 5 #1 last year. So tell me, what region is the strongest? Because, if you go by what these new regions have done so far you would have to say push. Neither region has been so dominant over the other. I might understand your idiotic opinions if they were accurate, but Region 5 has done nothing to show how they dominate Region 6. Second, this year Adamsville/ Houston County have earned it inside of our region. They have battled from having poor year's last year, to have a shot at the playoffs this year. I have said this same thing in nearly every post on this thread. But, you are too blind and mentally challenged to understand that. Bring on Region 5.

Regardless, all of this nonsense can stop. Richland does not deserve anything. They lost to Houston County, stick a fork in them they are done. #8, #10, #53 they are all done. They will give up. They do not have the heart to win this game. Richland equals no heart. They haven't shown anything to prove their heart.

I did not use vulgar language. I tried to spell the word s-o-b in combination with the word story. Which means to cry, moan, weep, but coacht would not let me put those letters together. So, you back off. Looks like your language is a lot worse than mine. Also, why would we care what Giles County does? Why would you bring up Giles County? It is your team, the Richland Raiders, who we don't like. Leave the region and head to Tyner's region. That way we don't have to fear the mighty Raiders anymore. Anywho, Go Houston County/ Adamsville.

You think Richland can beat us. You have to be kidding. Please, do not argue with irrational comments. Also, for the lady's comments earlier. Houston County was winless last year, so stop your ###### story. You were beaten down by Houston County team that was winless last year on your Senior Night. Go Adamsville/ Houston County. Also, why would you say that you could take us to the wood? You can't and you didn't this year.

Nice use of words. Duh, I like that. When I see duh, I think classy, intelligent, and idiosyncratic. I like the fact that you are still here. Leave us Lions to ourselves. We'll deal with the Region 5 boys when we get there. You still missed my entire point. I said it was incredible that Adamsville/ Houston County would still have a chance at the playoffs. Wow, you are a smart cookie. Let me put it like you would understand. Uh, duh, these two schools have had a great turnaround from their previous season. Clear enough.

I was wrong. Now this is the dumbest post ever. Why in the world would you not let your backups play in JV. Two reasons you do not play your varsity starters in JV. First, injury reason. Why would you play a starter in a JV game if you count on him in a varsity game. Also, kids need time to recuperate after a hard fought varsity game. They should not be rewarded with a game instead of another game. No wonder SC is awful, you are overworking your varsity starters. My second reason, you will not make your varsity better by giving them more game time experience. You get better through practice. You teach your freshmen game experience through the JV games. You improve your varsity through practice throughout the week. You see, next year when SC is relying on those few sophomores that will play, they will need to teach them everything since they did not learn anything from the lack of experience they didn't receive in the freshmen JV games. Trust me, if it was the best way then every good team would do it the same way. Waverly has a solid program that seems to be on the rise. If they say you are wrong and I say you are wrong (I am a Camdenite), then trust me you are wrong. JV is a tool to teach, not an opportunity to boast of wins and losses like SC tends to do with their JV games.

I have said in another posts that the coaches of the year should be: Waverly, Adamsville if they beat Richland, and Houston County if they make the playoffs. In that order, should be the coaches of the year. Schools that have over achieved. Camden and Lewis County's coaches whoever wins that game. Bottomline, lot of good coaches in Region 6-2A.

I totally agree.

I don't know guys. Loretto seems to lay down. They are not coached very well and Waverly is very well coached. I see Waverly wins this game in a rout. Loretto's coach has no control over them. Also, they maybe the biggest team in the Region. Can anybody tell me why they go 5 wide? Why not run it down people's throats? They throw more than any slow team I have ever seen.

This is coming from a "hard-nosed" player who was beaten on Senior Night by Houston County. What a joke? Do not come on here and tell us you pray to get another chance at either us or Lewis County, when you can't even defend your home turf against Houston County. Don't get me wrong, I am Camden through and through, but I am rooting for Houston County/ Adamsville. Houston Co. is amazing considering what they have gone through this year and still kick Richland in the teeth on the road and pull out a game that puts them in playoff contention. What a great story. What a great statement? "You have the best defense in the region." Giving up 31 to the Irish does not show me or anyone else that you have the best defense in the region. I agree with you you are very hard-something. Oh yeah, hard-headed. If you think you are tough, then the Irish are freaking made out of steel. One more thing, Goodpasture is a freak of a team. You do not want Goodpasture. You guys missed having them in our region a few years ago. Moreover, that is the attitude that I am talking about in other posts. Goodpasture is punishment to you hillbillies down there in Giles County. Houston County and Adamsville would enjoy getting to go the playoffs, but you guys would think you could do something since Richland has all of that tradition. Richland home of the 1987 Clinic Bowl Runner-ups. Wow!!! BTW, why are you guys not in the Chattanooga region that only has 5 teams in it. That way we wouldn't have to hear all of your bull.

Everybody gave Houston County no chance with the exception of a few. Richland overlooks Houston County. Guess what? Chance at a playoff spot. That coaching staff has done a tremendous job to turn that program around, especially after the tragedy they had to deal with during the summer when they lost a player during their one of their summer workouts. Way to go Houston County.

You may be the dumbest poster ever. You do not use JV to get your starters better. You use JV to use your backups so they can fine tune their skills. Most of the time, JV is used to teach Freshmen what football is about. I'm almost certain that at Stewart County, their freshmen definitely need time out on the field to learn what football is about. SC does not play their backups in JV games. Out of 11 starters in a Varsity game, 8-9 of those starters will play in the JV game. He will sit two or three of starters. Way to prepare for the future. I question that philosophy, meaning I do not agree with Coach H. There is a reason why their school is one of the bottom 5 teams in 2-A every year. Good luck in 3-A in a year or so.
