Why would a 9-1 Lexington team who is list as the #9 team on the TSSAA site get a number 1 seed in quad 3, when they are in quad 4 district. Pushing a 10-0 quad 3 school Giles into quad 2. Giles pushing a 9-1 East Hamilton a quad 2 school into the 2nd seed in quad 2 they have the same record as Lexington and East Hamilton is the #5 school listed on TSSAA site. Mitchell is the #4 school listed and they just lost there 2nd game. Looks to me Like to me the 4 #1 seeds in the quads should be: Quad 1 Dekalb, Quad 2 East Hamilton, Quad 3 Giles, Quad 4 Covington. Thus you have 3 #1 seeds in there own quads with Dekalb a quad 2 team going to quad 1. I am I missing something, or dose the order of the teams listed on TSSAA site mean nothing at all.

The list on the TSSAA site helps determine the 32 teams that qualify. Teams are seeded after the 32 teams are split up into 4 quads based on geography. This has been the system in place for four years now. They do not place teams in specfific quads based on records because then it becomes very subjective.

Remember your team has the right to prove me wrong. This year it looks like the last team in will be Red Bank barely beating out Hillcrest out of Memphis. Have fun and remember if you have any questions or spot a mistake don't hesitate to ask or point it out.

GB,

 

I was looking at Quad 1 and I have a question. If Grainger beats Cumberland Gap and G-P beats Pigeon Forge, would that make Grainger the 5 seed, Carter the 6 seed, Gibbs the 7 seed, and Claiborne the 8 seed?

You are correct if you are assuming Gibbs will also lose to Austin East. If Gibbs wins they would be the 6, Carter the 7.

Thanks Gerry, I think I am getting this, key word is think. Looks like if they just would go to 5 classifications it would be a whole lot easier. But then you lose revenue.

 

No problem. Here is a point to ponder with the 5 vs 6 class system.

 

Under the 5 class system there was 155 playoff games, under the new 6 class system there are 170 games played. Let's just say each playoff game brings in $5,000 in revenue for the TSSAA that means they are losing $75,000. Now I can argue if you go back to 5 classes, the gates will be bigger for those 155 games making up for the loss of revenue.

GB...is Page the 3 seed in quad 3 because they have more wins over .500 teams than liberty does...or something along those lines

    • 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.
