I was going to reserve comment on whether they moved up or not.  All I can say is 3A is a much better fit for that football team.  Had they been in 2A, I don't think they would see too many quality opponents at that level.  Tjey have long been established in the higher division because of the quality of athletes they get every year.  Had they stayed put, they were looking at numerous running clocks through the regular season.  I'm not sure it would benefit Rankins Boys playing one half of football most Friday Nights. (Yes, they are that good)  My school is positioned in 1A, so ultimately their decision had no baring on my thoughts.  I think Coach Rankin realized 3A was a better fit for his program, so he jumped.

 Who in your area will be in region1, I know they can't go with only 3 teams.

did Signal remain 4a?

 

and good luck against those devils friday  :thumb: 

We stayed in 3A.  Like pujo said, alcoa or fulton, pick your poison.  Our projected 3A region financially looks better than 4A.  I do hope we keep East Hamilton as an out-of-region game.  That's always a good game and gate.

 

We'll have to play mistake free Friday, but I think the guys are up to the challenge and may surprise a few folks. redthumb.gif

Someone has to be with Cloudland,Hancock and Unaka.

Boy i hope we are not,no offense but i would rather play better district opponents.I think this is what hurts Cloudland at playoff time (usually) only one team thats a ligitimate playoff team in that area-Hampton.Cloudland doesnt see even a semi high caliber 1A team till playoff time.I wouldnt mind being moved down with South Pitt if it wasnt for the drive.That region is a cake walk for the Pirates.

    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
