Trousdale County is a big fish in a small pond.

I can't wait for Donovan Stewart's Top 10 Sorriest Teams in 1A!

But I thought Macon County was in 4a?

Since there is such a big split up in the classifications, the other teams in the class suck. Comparing games and scores last year Friendship Christian was the 3rd best team in 2a, they give Signal Mountain of the 3 close games they played all year and lost to Trousdale County. Outside Signal Mountain, Trousdale County, and Frienship Christian there wasn't another good team in 2a. As a matter of fact South Pitt and Gordonsville were both better than FCS. Those are 5 teams that should have been playing each other in the playoffs instead of being split up into 2 seperate classes. The way they have the classifications it takes away the competition, especially in the lower classes because there is that 1 or 2 dominant teams. I think their should be 2 divisions, division 1 with 3 classes for public and division 2 with 2 classes for private, or just keep it like we got it but just have 4 classes instead of 6 that way teams like Trousdale County and South Pitt who cruise through the playoffs on a norm will have to earn their way to the state championship.

"But I thought" LOL

[rlh]

A bit of trivia:

 

What 2a school won the most Silver Balls in a decade? Name the school and the decade.

[swanson71]

"But I thought" LOL

You know I did a little research and since 1975 Macon County has had just 4 winning season, this is not .500 record but finishing the season with more wins than losses, while RBS has only 1. Now I would think with an enrollment of 3 or 4 times the students we have you could manage to do better than that?

[FridayMainEvent]

Cascade was 3rd in win percentage and 5 if those 13 loses were to Jo Bryns in the past five years. The team that eliminated them in four of those years played in the championship of semi final game.
