You can move schools around in Regions 3 - 7, but I was trying to group them based on geography and I'm not certain some locations.

 

So siegel and Oakland that are literally one mile from each other would be in different regions? I doubt it.

Didn't I say that I wasn't sure about locations? Flip the 2 or 3 most eastern located to Region 3 and leave the western schools to Region 4.

You can put all of the schools in Murfreesboro in Region 3 if you want.

How about having only 4 classes, 73+/- schools in each class.  Then you have the same number of classes as you have for basketball, baseball, softball. 

The problem with that is 4A would go from 1290 to 2800+.  Do what Texas does, split 4A into large and small, 36 or so,  in each class. 

Or leave 73 and have bowl games where both schools and TSSAA get a piece of the gate as well as the sponsor of the bowl game.  Pay ticket sellers/ticket takers off the top, officials off the top, each team gets 30% of the gate, TSSAA  gets 25%, bowl sponsor gets 15%.

Tickets are $5 each for school age and above, no TSSAA/TACA passes allowed, no local teacher passes allowed, give each school 25 tickets to use at their discretion. 

Just a thought!

I think they should go to Region 4 based on geography. They are actually closer to all those schools plus it balances out the regions numbers wise. Just my take. They have been that direction in the past, so it’s just one of those schools that is hard to place since their out there all alone. Geography should trump everything in that situation.

Oh I completely agree. I just thought maybe he had some inside info.

Very doubtful...ain’t happening. If they ever split the Murfreesboro schools, Oakland and Siegel would go together to another region.

Tom there is no way Memphis gets 2 4-team regions in 6A.

I thought the same thing but they currently already do.  A 5 team and a 4 team making up regions 7 and 8.  
Who knows what they will do and who exactly has representation.

And are all those Memphis schools going to stay in the TSSAA? A lot of rumblings from over there. In my opinion, a region should have at least 5 teams and 6 if at all possible. They should combine those Memphis schools into 1 region. Period. Add another region elsewhere in the midstate where there are many schools.

I am completely on board with you on this one.  Even if it means one of those mid state regions is region 7.  30 teams in the mid-state.

CLASS 6A

REGION 3

Blackman, Coffee Co., Cookeville, Oakland, Riverdale, Rockvale, Shelbyville, Siegel, Warren Co.

REGION 7

Arlington, Bartlett, Collierville, Cordova

REGION 8

Germantown, Houston, Whitehaven, White Station

 

If this happens, that's some ridiculous coddling of Shelby County. It'd be nonsense to split one county into two 4-team regions while cramming 9 teams over a very large area into another. With Memphis dropping from 9 to 8 schools this time and no other schools in West Tennessee, there's no reasonable argument to leave two regions out there again.

It won't happen like the below, but if I were 6A czar I'd do something like the below to try to keep the regions reasonably compact while balancing the numbers . 

Region 1 William Blount High School Maryville High School Morristown-Hamblen High School East Jefferson Co. High School Science Hill High School Dobyns Bennett High School Region 2 Bradley Central High School Cleveland High School Bearden High School Farragut High School Hardin Valley Academy Region 3 Hendersonville High School Lebanon High School Beech Senior High School Cane Ridge High School Gallatin High School Antioch High School Cookeville High School Region 4 Shelbyville Central High School Riverdale High School Coffee Co. Central High School Oakland High School Warren Co. High School Rockvale High School Region 5 Siegel High School LaVergne High School Blackman High School Stewarts Creek High School Smyrna High School Region 6 Summit High School Centennial High School Franklin High School Brentwood High School Ravenwood High School Independence High School Region 7 Clarksville High School Dickson Co. High School West Creek High School Rossview High School John Overton High School McGavock High School Region 8 Whitehaven High School Germantown High School White Station High School Houston High School Arlington High School Cordova High School Bartlett High School Collierville High School

You can move schools around in Regions 3 - 7, but I was trying to group them based on geography and I'm not certain some locations.

 

What about this for Regions 3-7:

 

Region 3 (5)

Cookeville, Shelbyville, Coffee Co., Warren Co., Rockvale

Region 4 (6)

Riverdale, Oakland, Siegel, Blackman, Stewarts Creek, Smyrna

Region 5 (6)

John Overton, McGavock, Antioch, Cane Ridge, Lavergne, Lebanon

Region 6 (6)

Beech, Gallatin, Hendersonville, Clarksville, West Creek, Rossview

Region 7 (7)

Summit, Centennial, Franklin, Brentwood, Ravenwood, Independence, Dickson Co.

 

This may not be the best with regards to competition/playoff quality, but I think it’s pretty good for geography. It’s hard to tell what will go on with discussions behind closed doors and what teams will potentially decide to play up. Also hard to determine what Shelby Co. schools are going to do, but I personally don’t see them leaving TSSAA.

Thoughts?

Well said and well done!! I love it. I would flip Siegel and Rockvale due to geography, but I’m all in...this makes perfect sense!

Not bad at all...Region 3 would have to be a bit different maybe by adding Riverdale and Blackman and subtracting Cookeville. Then, obviously, whatever region Cookeville is in will be “Region 3”.
