IDK.....Greenback makes decent sense geographically?  Hasn't Jellico been shipped up there once?  I'll let B-Nard try to figure that road trip out.  Hard to say who will land where.

 Several teams from tha general area has been in this region before. Somebody is gonna do alot of travel and gates will be small as well. I'm glad we have several nearby schools in the new mess,

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.

Wouldn't be quite as bad if you got an Oneida or Coalfield with you, Biggest thing would be the travel.

Just gonna gas up the bus and go where our district aligns us.  I can't envision the TSSAA making too many teams travel great distances repeatedly, but.....?  We have done the Hampton trip and Watertown over the last two seasons and although it ain't quite in those leagues....GB isn't considered just down the road.  I know we travel with our boys even if we got to jump on top of the bus to go.

It is good that most of these schools do not have to travel big distances.....but at the end of the day TSSAA has about as much integrity with holding schools to to divisions/classes that mach the schools true numbers as do they with making a decision on a multiplier. One should should not be able to choose to go up, down or sideways to fit any other agenda; other than true numbers. I know the state is telling me and you that my children are .8 times better than the Publics. When the state is making decisions to allow one sport in your school to be in one class and another sport to be in another class because of Friday night gate money; this make you criminal enterprise.

 

.....Booger just sayin

A guess:  Oneida, Coalfield, Sunbright, Greenback, Oakdale, Wartburg, and Jellico.  Of course I'm just guessing.  I don't know what OS enrollment put them?

    As far as region 1 looks like there has to be at least 5 teams in class A.  4 playoff spots would be a joke with only 3 or 4 teams in the region. you would almost always have a team with a losing record in spot 4 I would bet.

Sweet E.....True what you say, however the Elite 32 in the highest classification ALL make the playoffs as well.  Chances are some of them could possibly have a losing record come playoff time too.  I'm just curious if they put much stock in their regular season since they get in the playoffs regardless of their season record.  You could even intentionally save elite players a couple of games late in the season to have them "fresh" for the playoffs.  I'm sure those schools with losing records are at least making a valiant effort at trying to win their games....while in the 32 (other than positioning) nothing really affects making to playoffs.

    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life. 
    • I like the Pirates chances. I’ll be there as soon as work allows.
    • Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.  
    • I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
    • I'm from Cloudland and we've never played a sectional game.  We need to win tomorrow night to avoid that bus ride.  Us and north greene can play with you guys so I'm expecting good games whoever the matchup is.
