WEST TENNESSEE FOOTBALL IS AWFUL

[BVDevil]

What in the world is going on out in West Tennessee? only 2 teams in the entire bracket from that side with over .500 record and one of those is only 6-4 with one winless team making the playoffs, which by the way is preposterous.

two 6-4, 1 undefeated, and one 5-5. can't speak for the others. part of it being most of the schools that are below .500 bite off more than they can chew when they schedule opponents. In west Tn your outta conference games are ususally against 5a, 6a, or private schools. I don't like that east gets in with no wins at all, i'm flabbergasted by that as well. TSSAA gotta fix that issue and add another team or two to that region.

Question is who do you add? That would basically be a punishment with travel for the new team

So how can you move up a team when there numbers say they're 3a. Heck I thought ridgeway was a 2a playing 3a ball

that would be a call TSSAA would have to make. schools move from class dang near every year. I know for sure, dyersburg has went back and forth from 4a, to 3a, they just got back to 4a last year. Covington was also formerly known for being 4a and they are 3a. Its their call.

LOLOLOLOL ... the TSSAA can't do that. They can't pick and choose who plays up and who doesn't. It is the schools choice. Rightly so, I might add.

LOLOLOLOL ... move teams up!

Ha!

I wouldn’t classify all of West TN football as terrible. Mainly 4A in Memphis is the big problem right now, it’s ashame too. There’s some teams like Memphis East and Melrose that use to be some power houses not that long ago. I hear Memphis East might have 1A numbers right now, so they could be moving down. I do agree tho that an entire region making play-offs with all having loosing records is atrocious.

Memphis East is now down to about 350.  Two year class periods might help some of that.

Memphis East may be the worst team in TN right now after watching them last week. Moving down will definitely be a big help to them. Crazy how far they've fallen off in the last 2-3 years.
