I have never heard of this ruling and I have been near their district for years. The TSSAA tournament brackets have listed district winner and district runner-up advancing. Also the TSSAA Handbook makes no such mention of this type of "special treatment". It seems to me if this was true then Brentwood would have been excluded from even playing in the district tournament. I would love a proper explanation if this indeed comes to pass.

II. DISTRICT AND REGIONAL TOURNAMENTS

A. All tournament play shall be single elimination in Division I and Division II.

B. In Division I, tournament play shall begin at the district level if both districts in the region have three or more

teams. If not, tournament play shall begin at the region level with a tournament for all schools in the region.

C. In Division I district play, the district winner and runner-up teams shall advance to the regional tournament.

Since each district sends two teams to the regional tournament, the Board of Control has approved a set

bracket for tournament play as shown below:

Top Bracket Bottom Bracket

Winner District 1 Winner District 2

Runner-Up District 2 Runner-Up District 1

I am with you. I have never heard of this before either. I guess we will find out soon. My first thought was the paper must be wrong, but the specificity to the quote makes me think otherwise.

Per TSSAA, each district is allowed to determine the number 1 & 2 seeds however they see fit as a district. It seems that district 11 has decided to give the regular season champs a bid in the region semis.

 

11AAA voted last year to change the bi-laws of our District.

 

1st seed in the regular season (this year Brentwood) gets an automatic bid into the region.

 

If the 1st seed doesn't make it to the District Finals (which has now happened) they will still advance to Region, but they will be the #2 seed.

 

Winner of the District Tournament will be the #1.

 

So now Indy and Ravenwood have to battle for 1 remaining spot in tonight's game.

This obviously makes the regular season more valuable. What a brilliant way to reward the regular season champion!

Which now leads us to the chicken vs. egg argument...

 

Is the team with the most goals in the District 12 Championship Game, the winner or the loser? It's a shame that these teams do not benefit from an upset of this magnitude. In fact, they are worse off. Now they will face potentially the best team in the state...with extra rest!

 

Not that District 12 can beat District 11 (this year, especially with Overton out), but now they have very little chance. And, my sense is, several other districts may now look to change their by-laws too.

I agree.

 

Look at Maryville against Catholic last night. Most people thought it was a "given" that Catholic would advance (outside of Maryville fans, of course!). Any time there is a automatic bid, it takes out the "upset factor", "fatigue factor" and "injury factor" for that team.

 

And to be clear, Brentwood lost in the district tournament semis? (which is a knock out round for every other district in the state?) Using this same rule, Catholic should be advancing to the region tournament next week.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
