Some editing above of an earlier post made to reflect the additions of Seymour, Carter & Gibbs to 5A ( http://www.knoxnews.com/story/sports/high-school/2016/10/25/carter-seymour-gibbs-play-class-5a-football/92721142/ ) and now Fulton (see Red Rebels link above) and Kirby too. Other reports of schools choosing to play up in 5A -- or leaving 5A to join 6A?

Knox Catholic will cruise year in year out. Only Rhea is consistent in that region right now. And really making White county continue to travel those distances. Plus if a private continues to choose to play D1. TSSAA should up the multiplier. Having your cake and eating it too ?

Catholic's bigger issue is going to be finding a 10-game schedule, plus extra travel (if they end up in Region 4), now that four Knox-area 4A teams have elected to move up.

I'd put White in the group with Franklin County and send another from the Knoxville area into the group with Rhea.

White Co. is one of the casualties of the excessive classes in football. There's no good placement for them. TSSAA could have easily placed them with Rutherford and Sumner last time around but chose instead to mix time zones and put White Co. in Region 4. Who knows what they'll do this time, but there is that most recent precedent, plus a quick Google Maps inquiry reveals that the avg. distance/ drive time from White Co. HS to the 5 other schools (Catholic, Lenoir City, Rhea, Soddy, Walker Valley) projected above for Region 4 is 81 miles/ 1 hour 28 minutes. Again using Google Maps the schools projected above for Region 5 avg. 90 miles/ 1 hour 45 minutes from White Co. HS. Projected Region 6 schools avg. 96 miles/ 1 hour 31 minutes from White Co. HS. Also wouldn't think the TSSAA would want to break apart a pair of otherwise sensible regions (5 and 6) just to better accommodate White Co. -- especially considering no truly good fit can be achieved. But, again, who knows.

Rhea County and Soddy are the closest to White County.  From Soddy it is straight shot up on a 4 lane highway so not that bad.  For Rhea County, it is a little more difficult though you can stay on a 4 lane highway - just more miles.  The other schools are long drives for White County. 

 

I feel for them - the schools closest to them are in another classification.

Walker Valley is better than you might think.  They always field a good competitive team just not as consistent yet.

Been watching them since they opened the doors. I'd say you're right about the consistency. Always have a few players. This years teams very talented. Next year I'd change it up some of offense and defense. They could put a pretty physical team in the field as far as the line of scrimmage goes. I like the d they played against Rhea in varsity and Jv games. Get more pressure on that line. Not a lot of teams can throw down field great.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By cbg · Posted

      What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.

      So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.

      Pemberton Leaves Rhea for Campbell County

      By Rhea Co. · Posted

      That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4.

      I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
