Indian Posted November 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) I was surprised, too. I imagine it goes into effect next season. Teams in their league will be searching for another opponent, it seems. Edited November 15, 2018 by Indian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocac Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Shocked. Not only "not" playing a region schedule, they are not playing Cookeville either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian Posted November 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Additionally, Warren requested moving to 5A despite a huge enrollment and was denied. Maybe they should have asked to play non-region. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegreatwhite1 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Seems like a top down loser mentality at Warren and White. No program in any sport is successful with a culture of excuse making... which is exactly how I read into this situation. I'd be ashamed of my alma mater if they attempted a cowardly move such as this. If White can't win in 5-5A they should turn the football field into a full time soccer stadium and shut football down for good. From top to bottom, it's an extremely mediocre football region. More than half of the teams in 5-5A didn't notch a win over a team that finished the year with a winning record. Shame on White and shame on Warren.

wow1029 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 White County asked to be moved into the other 5A Region(Knoxville area?) that had 4 other teams in it since Catholic is leaving and were denied.Union County almost went this route and rebuilt their football program.

wow1029 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Sure they would.They could have pulled off 1 upset win and got in the playoffs.In the very least played 6 cupcakes and beat at least 5 of them and finished .500!!! Better yet could have played 6 cupcakes half their size and win all 6 then beat 1 region opponent and finish 7-3 then get smoked in playoffs round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelMyers76 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Been tough for awhile in Sparta. I agree I think it sends the wrong message of "we just give up". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
