Region's need rezoned

[Woooooooooo]

Some regions have 6 to 8 teams. And some only have 4. Why?  Why not make all regions have the same number of teams. Division I, Class 1A, Region 1  only has 4 teams in it. 

Division I, Class 1A, Region 8 has 9 teams. 

Can someone explain?

You are correct 163 miles to nearest team out of their region.

Some areas are just so remote. I think Copper Basin's closest region game is at least a 2 hour bus ride.

Worst one might be Pickett County to Jo Byrns. At least 3 hrs on a school bus.  Are there any other region teams so far apart?

I'm sure TSSAA looked at all scenarios but IMO a region with 4 teams shouldn't get 4 playoff berths in football. Should be a way to do 2 automatic qualifiers and then add a wild card or two from a larger region with better teams.

Now that would just make to much sense !!

Well looky here, someone is bringing common sense and reasoning into the argument. Who invited him?
