crazzyness Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Most likely they'll stay in District 1 along with: Cloudland Jellico Unaka Oakdale Hancock There are so few 1A schools in the far Eastern part of the state that they'll probably need to just group the 5 farthest east to create a 5 team district, unless the TSSAA pulls something weird and creates a 4 team district with automatic berths for everybody. The travel for teams like Jellico and Oakdale up to Cloudland and Unaka is insane. Jellico will probably ask to be placed in 1A. They expected to be last time and were flabbergasted that Oakdale was the team sent there instead of them a couple of years ago. They would much rather play Unaka and Hancock Co. than Coalfield and Greenback. As much as I hate to say it, geographically, it makes far more sense for Greenback to be in Region 1 over Oakdale, Jellico, or Harriman. But Jellico's proximity to Sneedville will probably send them to region 1. That's assuming they make whatever the cut is for 1A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbnation Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 I would rather see greenback go 2a than be moved to region 1 no disrespect but that region is weaker than region 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some great games between you guys and the Landers over the years. Roan Mt loves their football ,but its just not been right the last several years. The pieces are in place. May not be next season but after that ,its on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Mike is back, and their underclassmen are extremely talented, but the middle school team is atrocious. Might really hurt their depth in about 3 seasons if they don't improve.

Middle school will be much better next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hevyrevy1611 Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 I just hope each region has no more than 6-7 teams in it so we can play the non-region games against more top-tier & stronger teams from any class (provided they wish to play & both schedules allow). And also it'd allow for longtime rivals to renew. With 5 or 6 Region/Conference games, the rest of the 10 games are whoever you can get. imo the better the team played the better your team becomes. We'll see what's been decided before too much longer. And we'll all havta buckle down & deal with it as before, adjusting & adapting and moving onward. It'll all be fine in long run. Things gonna get more fun, exciting, competitive, and unifying local communities behind their sports teams. It's my hopes anyways. GO DRESDEN.

Cloudland went 2a a couple of years to cut down on travel. Pretty sure they went 20 and 0 those 2 years. Playoff were extremely tough. Region 2 2a was a guantlet at that time.
