1OldPatriot Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 3 public divisions, 2 private divisions are plenty. It is hard to develop rivals when you don't play them in every sport. Let the hate flow through you all year. It will never happen because the T$$AA loves that playoff money. Who cares about the schools?

Having watched the Title Games the last few years, here are some observations, that if we are being honest with ourselves, are absolutely accurate. The games were: anti-climactic not very competitive on the whole you could combine 1A/2A, 3A/4A, 5A/6A and had similar results. This year for example, Lake County likely wins 1A/2A finalists, Alcoa easily wins 3A/4A, and Maryville easily wins 5A/6A. Peabody wins that one. Lake county was good . The QB was a beast but he did absolutely everything. Peabody is way more well rounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoa doesn't win easily until they get out of the east Alcoa/Greeneville/EHS would be fighting it out in the east and the title would go to one of those 3. It wouldn't be long until everyone started complaining about the same teams winning all the time etc etc. There really is no perfect way to do this as either way people will complain about the same stuff.

1OldPatriot Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 I watched Betsy play twice, and I thought they were a really good team. However, they would be no match in a 4qtr battle with Alcoa up front. Alcoa would win every division except for 6A and maybe big private league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooWhoWiseMan Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Why do so many of you all have a problem with more kids getting to experience a state championship game? It does not hurt anything what so ever. Games were not bad because of too many classifications they were bad because too many teams have unfair advantages such as open zoning, just an elite senior class, or a team didn't play as well. LSU smoked Georgia in the SEC championship so maybe we need to cut down the number of teams in the SEC. Cutting classes further divides the largest team in a class from the smallest which means fewer teams will even have the opportunity to have a run at the state. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the same thing about why cut down kids chances to play for a gold ball.. of course maryville and alcoa just say were envious and less is better. They would be satisfied if we just make 2 classifications and give them each a ball at the beginning of the season. And they argue they are better 100% because the coaches are better and they assure me all the kids they play are all born and raised there.. suuuuuuuuuure they are .
