Dyer County couldn't deal with the Memphis schools before while in AAA. This might help them since Bartlett and Cordova will be AAAA.

They made it to the state tournament 4xs while in AA and once while in AAA. The one time in AAA was when Robert Hubbs was a senior and Ridgeway got banned for having an ineligble player (not their fault kid lied and was enrolled in school unbeknownst to anyone but he only played garbage minutes.

works out great for Dyer County. I still feel as if they will have some good competition from the 2 A teams that are moving up to 3 A.

They may be in a district with South Gibson, Crockett, Dyersburg, Obion. There may be one more over there too.

There region is tough. South Side, North Side, Chester and Lexington will all be good next year. Chester and Lexington bring everybody back.

0-389 A

390-738 AA

739-1190 AAA

1191 and above AAAA

I think those numbers are pretty accurate. May be a little wiggle room up and down but not much. Districts would be 5 or 6 teams max I would say. I am glad the TSSAA finally addressed this. It's not perfect for everyone but it is better than what we had with 3 classes for sure. I just hope that they align the districts and regions to where you have a more competitive balance.

With only 5 in a district for example you could put Blackman, Riverdale, Siegal, Oakland and Stewarts Creek all in one with their region being Smyrna, LaVergne, Lebanon, Wilson Central, and one other close by. This would help schools who are playing 4A that are smaller help compete. I have been to a couple region games and schools like Columbia, Shelbyville, Franklin County have a hard time advancing being grouped with Murfreesboro teams. You could pair them up maybe for sub state games.

I agree with you for sure

Problem for DC in AAA has been 2 things. Distance for district games and Shelby County.

When your district has only 5 teams and the shortest district trip is right at an hour and the longest is 2 1/2 hours, it's not ideal situation. Not so much for the competition because DC actually has held up pretty good there being on top or knocking on the door year in year out but because the natural rivalries are not there close to home to bring more local interest which can propel a program.

Having to play through Shelby County and never having an opportunity to host a regional because of location is obstacle always. You have to get into the Regional and win to get Sub State at your place. But playing schools in your Region with student enrollments up to 144% larger than yours is tough. I do think DC held its own but playing the Bartletts, Arlingtons, Houstons and all the rest aint easy. 

DC is going to come in at around 1150 on enrollment so lets see where the cut off is and what a district will look like.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
