Middle School Football playoff info

[CHARGERFAN]

Covington's Crestview Middle School is still playing in the postseason. Where can I view a playoff bracket for them?

 

If someone would provide a link, I would appreciate it. I see that the TSSAA site mentions middle schools, but I could not find a bracket there.

 

Thanks in advance.

I didn't even know there was a playoff for middle school lol. All I remember was the Pioneer bowl was the big game and there weren't any games after that

News to me as well. Rutherford Co has an all county championship game and thats where the season ends.

Crestview beat Brighton on Monday (10/21) to remain undefeated, and the PA announcer said that they would be playing a team from Memphis in the sectional playoffs this Saturday, either White Station Middle or another Memphis team (can't remember who) at 1:30 PM in Covington.

 

I also saw this posted on another message board:

 

The Inman Middle School Bulldogs are coming to Memphis this Saturday to play Lester Middle School in the West Tennessee Sectional Championship game, 1pm at Melrose. Our High School team is undefeated and ranked #1 (5A) in the state, and our middle school is undefeated as well. I know NOTHING about Lester, but they've made it to the championship game so it should be a good one. Fun group of kids to watch.

 

So, I assume that there are playoff brackets, etc. Somebody has to have that info.

Crestview wins 42-21 over White Station. Sectional champs, I guess. Someone said state champs, but how could that be if only W Tn schools were involved? And, the TSSAA website said they don't recognize any state champs.

 

So, I guess my question is moot. Season ends with the Chargers undefeated. Looking forward to seeing those players in high school next year.

"There are several " championships" like kids baseball...so a "state champion" means nothing..because there are a bunch of them.

TMSAA has specific rules concerning middle school football.

1. If your team is not a member school then none of this matters.

2. If your team played 8 regular season games then they are only allowed 1 postseason game.

3. A sanctioned middle school team can at most play 9 games.

4. A sanctioned middle school team can only play one post season game. (Even if they only played 7 regular season games)

5. There are no state playoffs for sanctioned TMSAA schools.

6. Revert to #1. Eligibility rules for players such as transfers, age, grade repeaters and games played do not apply.

 

So.... if your middle school team played more than 9 games and they are sanctioned then they are in violation. If they are not a member school then they could have 16 and 17 year olds out there playing. Either way there is no such thing as a TMSAA middle school state champ. You can call it what you want but its only on paper. Hope this helps.

 

*Just checked. Crestview is indeed a member school. I hope this doesn't nullify any post season championship. Hopefully their record was at best 9-0 or they only played one game after the regular season.
