East TN 5A Regions for 2015 & 2016

[GWAVE1]

White Co could go with Franklin Co, Shelbyville and Lincoln Co or go with the I-40 corridor of Sumner Co and possibly the Rutherford Co schools. I think the Clarksville, Henry Co, Dickson region gets left alone unless they go with 3 regions in middle. Then you would have to add some metros in there with them. Splitting metro or keeping it intact is also an issue with a division of 4 vs 3 regions. I think Rhea will go to the Chatt area teams.

West and OR in the same district? I like it.

OR could win that region almost every year! Lol...I'm surprised OR didn't want to move up to 6A.

Well, their is just as good if not better competition in 5A than in 6A with the excpetion of Maryville and the Rutherford Co teams. Gaddis always planned on staying in 5A. We just don't have the numbers anymore. We are in the 1300's

Clinton's numbers are way down too. That's why I was surprised we decided to play up in 5A, but I do like the decision.

I'd say Fulton and Catlik had something to do with that lol. We were going to stay in 5A whether Maryville moved up or stayed 5A. I talked to Gaddis tonight actually and he said AC and DB will be on the schedule next year.

I'd say you're right abt Fulton & Catholic lol. AC & DB are great non-region games for OR!

Yeah getting the DB rivalry back on schedule will be nice. Plus, West isn't going to be the West they have been next year that they have been the past 4 years. They will take a little bit of a backwards step. Not sure for how long, though? With the exception of Maryville & Alcoa teams usually take a few years to rebuild back up.

I'll admit that the thought that we should have moved up to 5A has crossed my mind! I don't know what Fulton will have but Catholic appears to be pulling them in from all over. They've got a sophomore (no. 5) who is starting who is zoned for OR or maybe Clinton! He played for Claxton. Just one of many.

Catlik recruits more than anyone probably. I only say this because I witnessed it 1st hand. Some more examples would be silvy played for loudon and amari played at Fulton in middle school. So along with #5 mentioned above and at least 1 more sophomore who has started every game this season (and did not take the full ride offer lol) those are some difference makers. And if I know of that many who knows how many more they have. Bottom line give any team the 4 kids I just mentioned by the time they are seniors you have purchased several wins.

 

Just for the record Fulton will still take catlik to the woodshed!
