Has a 3A team ever beaten a defending 6A state champ before last night?

I've not seen them play. I know people are going to compare scores of the Greeneville @ D-B game with the D-B @ Alcoa games. 

I thought of that too. If Alcoa gets a lead, they will pull their starters which could skew the score comparisons.

Greeneville is basically the same team as last yr and the scores were 2017- GV 35 DB21 and 2018 GV 43-DB 3. Big drop

OR seems to be a little better this yr over last. 2017 -DB 28 OR 25 and 2018 DB 12 OR 41. Big Drop

SH is down this year. SH won over Eliz in 2017 50-25 and lost to them this yr. SH beat owls 62-35 last yr and only won by 1 point this yr.  2017  SH 35 DB 14 and 2018- SH 21 DB 24. Another big difference.

DB lost a lot from last yr but still have tons of athletes and they'll probably have taylor back for the 1st time this year.

Gonna be interesting

6A did not exist then.

Two year 6A trial run which was scrapped. BA needed a game after some school broke a contract, went to East TN and was upset. 

[Red Rebels]

The four I listed are the only 6A Champions. White Station, Whitehaven, Ravenwood, and Maryville.

Except for that 2 year trial run when BA lost to Johnson.

I can't recall that ever happening before lastnight. But I know alot of 6A teams won't even play 3A school, because of that same reason scared of losing to 3A school. So that's way I respect 6A teams that do play 3A schools.

When Lebanon scheduled Trousdale County I looked back to see how 1A-2A programs done against 6A schools.

And I found that it has happened 12 times (I haven't looked elsewhere in the state this year for a 6A vs 1A/2A matchup so could be a few more). And the 6A schools won 7 times and the 1A/2A schools won 5 times. When you look at the games they are really close unless it is just a straight up mismatch like Oakland vs Republic. And each time (still remains to be seen this year with TC vs Lebanon) the team that won ended the season with a better record.

This may have already been mentioned but alcoa could be in 2a according to their enrollment numbers. They chose to play up! That makes friday night even that much more amazing!

Alcoa is in their proper class.
