blazer1set Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 How long has it been since a Tri-cities team got past round 3? In this context, Tri-cities means Bristol, Johnson City, Kingsport, i.e., schools in Washington and Sullivan counties. Sullivan: DB, East, Central, North, South, Tennessee High Washington: Boone, Crockett, Science Hill Will Crockett make it and be the first in X number of years? DB got to round 4 in 2002, just wondering if that is the last time it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatmanDevil Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 The last time anyone past Greeneville in that part of the state done anything awesome was the Early seventies .Tennessee high teams of 71 and 72.State champs both years and national champs in 72.The only other state champ was the 1938 Elizabethton team.

Central just has too much talent and Knoxville area teams learned long ago that they had to also play pass defense if they wanted to compete. The DC defense is good so the score might not get too out of hand, but Crocket has zero chance. When most of the state's top teams are in Region 2, especially the top 5A and 6A teams, and that's our opponents for the first three rounds, it's tough to get past them. Typically, the team that wins the third round game against a Tri-Cities team is the one that goes on to play for and win state. It's slightly outside the area you mentioned, but Elizabethton made it to the 4th round in 2009, 2010, and 2012, finishing 3rd. Greeneville's dominance is common knowledge.

If Crockett had zero chance, I doubt they’d be 12-0. Yet again idc who ya play that’s tough to do. People can get on here and make any preconditions they want, but I’ll assure you NO ONE in our program is taking Davy Crockett lightly. We will come ready for a challenge come Friday night.

Red Rebels Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 My definition of Tri Cities, if you've got a tv with an antenna and you turn it on and see at least one of the following stations (WJHL, WCYB, WKPT), then you live in the Tri Cities. That Yosemite Sam definition was wacky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you know there seem to be more definitions of "tri-cities" than you can shake a stick at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to pick and choose, you can draw a straight line from the three cities { triangle } and every school not in it would be out of the tricities.Meaning Crockett is out as well.I guess they can be in the Greene county area.After all,David Crockett was born in Greene county about 9 or 10 miles away from the high school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
