I did a little research and learned the following facts about Tennessee prep football over the past 25 years. In the top classifications of 5A & 3A (before we had five classifications) Middle Tennessee play's much better football than the rest of the state.

 

State Champions:

Knoxville & Upper East Tennessee 4

Middle Tennessee 17

Chattanooga 1

Memphis & West Tennessee 3

 

State Runner-ups:

Knoxville & Upper East Tennessee 4

Middle Tennessee 14

Chattanooga 2

Memphis & West Tennessee 5

 

Largest Attendance:

1988 Dickson County vs Oakland 32,000

(The TSSAA no longer publishes the attendance on their website)

Very nice research. I'd like to see it after population statistics are factored in.

I would put 4 in lower East Tennessee (Chattanooga to McMinn County) Cleveland 3 and Red Bank 1 sorry your research needs to be tweaked a little. Go work though

I think he was just using 5A schools (used to be 3A until classifications were modified). I believe both Red Bank and Cleveland were playing in 4A when they won their championships?

If you are talking about the Class AAA title game between Dickson County and Oakland, the year was 1988, not 1998.

Yes, it should have read 1988 and not 1998.

 

Red Bank's was in 5A in 2000, they dropped to 4A in 2001. Also, Rhea County was a runner-up in 1981 & 1985 and you didn't count that for Chattanooga.

 

 

I added Rhea County to Knoxville & East Tennessee. Would they not be closer to Knoxville than Chattanooga?

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
