Tell the school board down there to fund a major highway from Jackson to Pulaski.

Gerry can you explain how unicoi co gets in at 4-6? And if they don't get in would that put Knox catholic back in quad 1?

[dhstennis]

. Great job Gerry. Already have the highway. 64 and its 4 lane connections all the way. Makes no difference to me. Ya got to go through Fulton to get there. Bring it on....

Unicoi with a Win will get in via Tiebreaker,  Elizabethton will be at South. Claiborne could sneak in with a upset win and a chester co loss. All kinds of scenarios.

[jhilts]

Unicoi @ Fulton....That's going to leave a mark. The Unicoi / Central game will be important for them and South's seeding. The Cherokee / Seymour game may also be pivotal for South's seeding. Really close on tiebreakers. And TSSAA, let's not forget about that out of state win over Gate City this year. And Gate City has won more than 1/2 their games.

They get in due to tiebreaker over Bolivar who will be the only 4 win team to be staying home.

The TSSAA is so inconsistent with placing teams in quads. Here is the 2011 playoffs where Liberty was in 3 and Chester in 4. http://www.tssaa.org/2011Champions/StateFootball/4ABracket.htm

 

I am thinking Giles may go West over Marshall Co. now, I wish they would be consistent from year to year but as Giles Co. knows they make it up as they go. 

 

You are correct about the runner ups in Quad 4.

 

Unicoi @ Fulton....That's going to leave a mark. The Unicoi / Central game will be important for them and South's seeding. The Cherokee / Seymour game may also be pivotal for South's seeding. Really close on tiebreakers. And TSSAA, let's not forget about that out of state win over Gate City this year. And Gate City has won more than 1/2 their games.

 

I am including Gate City, Greeneville is only going to have 3 teams, Sullivan South 4 teams, and Fulton 5 or 6 teams.

Are cherokee or Seymor either one even 4A?

[RebRaider85]

They are both 5A. If Cherokee beats Seymour it will give Sullivan South another opponent that has won 50% of its games and also give South another victory over teams that have won 50% of their games.

[Gerry Bertier]

Here is the revised quad since the TSSAA can't stay consistent on anything. All that happened would be Chester and Liberty switching places. Liberty loses a home game while Chester picks one up.
