My guess-2 regions West and East

 

West 2 districts

JCS, USJ, Rossville, Fayette, FACS, St George

SBEC, Bp Byrne, Harding, ECS, T-R

 

East 2 districts

Webb, DA, MJCS, Lancaster, Zion

DCA, FRA, Riverside, SAS, Ezell

 

 

That would make sense except it would be tough for both divisions with that many teams. Seems like they would have to split it up even further. Maybe 4 divisions instead of 2.

How would it be tough? The west region would have 11 teams, 10 region games for every team. Works out perfectly really. You could go like 3 regions of 7, BUT that will mean greatly increased travel for a couple of teams. Plus, a few of those teams will have trouble scheduling 4 non-region games in their area.

I thought about the 4 districts idea. With 9 teams in the Memphis area and 2 in Jackson that side could be done. The problem is the rest of the state. You have 6 teams in the Nashville area, 3 in lower middle Tennessee and 1 in Knoxville. To make it work you would have to pull a team or two from the Nashville area and make them travel while not playing teams that are closer to them. Currently you have 8 teams in Div II A and 9 teams on Div II AA E/M. The regions are even bigger in non football sports. There are pros and cons both ways. THis would have been alot easier if some additional schools in West TN had moved to Div. II.

By having 10 conference games, you would not be able to have any out-of-conference games, right?

Not sure about perfectly, 10 region games with no off games seems a bit much to me. I don't think any of the 11 West teams would have problems scheduling non-region games without extensive travel, they've been doing it for a while. Not sure about the Mid/East teams though.

I think I misread above. So you're talking about 4 districts? With maybe the top 2 teams from each district advancing. I think that would work, at least for the West.

You do not have to play every team in your region. They don't now in Div II AA E/M. They play 6 teams as set by the state office.

 

 

In Division II A, I believe you do play every team in your region during the regular season, which sounds different than Divisin II AA.

    • Eagleville hosting shows laziness on the part of the TSSAA and a complete disregard for the appearance of impartiality. Absolutely nothing against EHS. Its not their fault TSSAA is lazy.    I understand EHS staff work the games at Eagleville, and they don’t want to miss the EHS games. However this isn’t rocket science. It would take less than 1 hour to cross-train EHS and RHS volunteers at the opposite sites. If Eagleville (or any host)  makes the tournament, flip their game site and have the volunteers flip sites for the days their school plays at the opposite site. Magically the school’s fans would be present to watch the their kids play and the kids at least lose some familiarity and home field advantage.  It takes almost no effort and is a ~15 minute extra drive.    
    • We feel the pain!
    • Jason Lambert should be the only choice for the Baseball coaching position. 
    • From the stats I found online it looks like Gabe Eddington- .484, 44 total hits, 43 runs scored and 42 stolen bases.Meanwhile, on the mound, the Austin Peay commit had a record of 8-2, while compiling 50 innings pitched with an ERA of 1.82. Carson Parrott - 7-0 overall as a starting pitcher with a 1.41 ERA, 95 strikeouts and a save in 53 and 1/3 innings pitched. Parrott hit .392 with 3 home runs, 21 RBIs with a .566 OBP and .716 SLG. Jaxon Walker - .454, 53 hits, 38 RBI’s, 9 HRs.   Not saying the other three aren’t deserving but Quillen had better BA than all three and was just as dominate pitching.  Like I said I don’t know how you leave off the 3a Baseball player of the year last year when he put up better numbers.  I know Greeneville’s Coach wasn’t happy about it saying “I don’t give a s*** what anybody else says. That kid is the best player in Tennessee, and everybody else on our team rises to his level“.  I’m sure winning another State Championship as a junior is more important to Carson than the individual award, it’s just a head scratcher to not be nominated
