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.

    • 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.
