Hardy Memorial forfeited to Clarkrange

[Indian]

Yes could make a strong case that matchup would be tougher than most if not all of the Hardy district.

They probably could have moved Lookout Valley to the district with Hardy, South Pittsburg and Van Buren. That would have made 5 in that district and 5 in the Chattanooga to Tellico district. You had a charter start up Chattanooga Leadership Academy or something, that might have thrown things off. Bledsoe had 515 students the last I saw so if that continues to this fall may have them down and probably prevent any more situations like this 1-win team making region. 

It is just as rediculous that 6A has 8 teams and almost are all better than 5A's best. 6A should only have 6 teams Trousdale Co and Red Boiling Springs should be moved out. Or, maybe Monterey sent to 5A and Trousdale Co moved out. Our 9 win Trousdale Co  beat their #6 state ranked (what a joke) Whitwell at Whitwell. Very good 6A teams sat home while terrible 5A teams made the region.

At least Hardy can brag that Clarkrange only beat them by 2 points! I can see their local paper's headline:

"Hardy Holds State Ranked #4 Clarkrange to 2 Points!"

Or:

"Near Upset, Hardy Loses to Clarkrange by 2!"

Just for everyone’s information 2 more forfeits in R7AAA Cordova forfeits to Dyer Co and Kinsbury forfeits to Hardin Co.

The Clarkrange faithful would not have wanted that game. Clay already beat them once this year. Now it’s unlikely that they lose at home but they would never have agreed to it. 

I want in on that phone call!

”Good morning coach Rodgers congrats on winning your district championship, due to the 4th place team in district 5 forfeiting. The TSSAA has decided the best thing to do is to place the 5th seed from your district in that place which is Clay County. I hope you understand our decision and good luck playing Clay”

Why would a school the size of Cordova forfeit a game?  I can almost see why this small private school with only 5 players forfeited but a AAA school like Cordova?

Is Hardy Memorial a private? I thought all privates were in a separate division.
