I agree they refuse to reconize Campbell County's District CO Championship

Have you looked at Quad 2?? Three undefeated district champs!!

Yeah, somebody always feels like they get the shaft. Quad 2 is the one with the undefeated's, Quad 4 has 7 winners/runners up with only one wild card. Let the games begin...

Quad 4 has four district champs and only ONE at large team in Memphis East, who may arguably be the best at large team in 5A. The other 3 teams were all runner ups. Just crazy.

Quad 4 is definitely the quad of death but I don't think Quad 2 is too far behind

Sounds like someone doesn't want to play in quad 4!

Well, I'm unable to see any official 5A bracket, but by the TSSAA's own guidelines Lawrence Co. (natural quad 2) shouldn't be in Quad 4. According to their own videos on how teams are placed in the playoff brackets, they always avoid whenever possible moving a team more than 1 natural quadrant.

 

It could be avoided.

 

If Lawrence Co. is in Quad 4 it's just another example of how the TSSAA fails to follow it's own handbook and guidelines and why the z-plan, with no straight-forward, hard rules on how playoff teams are paired, was doomed from the get go.

 

Consider, too, that using last year's extended tie-breakers Ooltewah would be 2nd in Quad 2 and Rhea would be 3rd (going to wins over teams in same class: Ooltewah had 5, Rhea had 4). It's the other way around because, apparently, of a coin toss (wonder if they filmed it?). It's not that big of a deal certainly where the 1st round games are concerned, but what about the 2nd round where this seeding determines who plays at home.

 

Of course, all such issues call into question motive and integrity.  

 

Good night and good riddance z-plan.

I don't understand how Lawrence County defeats Shelbyville. And Shelbyville gets the better bracket. It shows you how screwed up the TSSAA is. Then you have a 5-5 Tullahoma team in the playoffs, that was blown out by Lawrence County and blownout by a 4-6 Lincoln County team.
