I can see that, and it's valid. But going to Hardy, Whitwell, and South Pittsburg aren't long trips (30-40 minutes). Play Whitwell on a Friday and that solves it. Van Buren is a long trip, once a season, but they go to Copper Basin and Tellico which are probably worse even with the time difference. If, at all possible, they should have more than 4 teams in districts. 

An hour and 12 to Van Buren and hour and 24 to copper and an hour and 30 to Tellico

Me either, I think getting away from c-range, Pickett and clay were bigger issues. 

I think this may be the real reason Lookout Valley wanted to be moved since they play a home-away vs 3 of the 4 teams in 5A. Better to play in a weaker Region than get eliminated in a blowout, I guess. 

 It’s crazy that 6A has 8 teams in it and plays a District with 4 teams. The TSSAA should look at this and move some teams around IMO there should Not be less than 6 teams in a district if at all possible.

Don't know why they did, but to me this is part of a state issue. There is no reason why any district only has 4 teams in it and a team with a 1-27 record should never make a region tournament in the first place. I mean I dont think that I would have wanted to have drove that far to watch my child get embarrassed either, but they shouldnt have been able to do nothing in the regular season and make a region tournament.  

If i had to guess this is probably the reason. Why drive a good distance for that!?

Clay County who is sitting at home is better than any team in 5A. This is ridiculous. I’d ban this school from post season play for a minimum of 5 years and suspend the coaching staff indefinitely. We now have arrived at “everyone gets a trophy” world and when we don’t we quit.  What a great way to live your life!

I agree in principle but if they do that then it’s a forfeit/bye situation every year for 5 years. If they have injuries preventing them from having 5 players  I could understand but that doesn’t appear to be the case. Play the game and learn from it to make yourself and team better next year. 
 

I venture to say that Jackson, Gordonsville, and Monterey are as good if not better that Hardy. There should just be a Regional Tournament with both Districts involved in this situation 8 teams in 6A is ridiculous when there is only 4 in 5A.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
