What's really weird is you have some schools in the east and west in different sports.

Oakdale was in region 2 last go around and swapped out with Greenback in region 1 as I recall.  Same could happen. As far as I know these are the proposed regions. If you wanna move you gotta file an appeal. TSSAA can grant the appeal or not.

First of all Oakdale requested to go so they would make the playoffs every year. I guess Coalfield gets a by next year in the first round. This is a sad situation for east Tn. there should be 5 and 6 teams in these 2 regions. I'm sorry but Oakdale should have been made to stay in region 1 and Oliver Springs should be put there also since they are closer than Greenback.

I feel bad for Middleton.

 

Middleton in 1A and Adamsville in 2A are the odd man out...both will have long drives EVERY week.

This is an atrocity. Even these things out, they've already messed up travel by setting such a hard line on enrollment figures and now made it worse by messing with competitive spirit. Having regions with 4 or 5 teams is so lame. Ibaka automatically makes the playoffs now??? What are they thinking? Region 2 champ gets a bye in the first round for the next 4 years I guess.

Why don't they just move Jellico and Oz to region 1 then both region 1 and 2 have 6 teams a piece.

Feel bad for the Middleton Tigers. A team that's not a very good program, traveling at least an hour 30 to play Huntingdon and Bruceton, 2 hours to play McEwen I believe, maybe longer. An hour and 15-30 minutes to play Perry County and at least an hour drive to play Wayne County. I know they get unlucky geographically reasons, but they probably need to be in Region 8-1A. To make things worse, Middleton does not have a very good fan base, and probably lacks community support and funding for their football team. They got robbed a little bit. Would've been better off co-oping with Bolivar in football.
