I say leave McKenzie in 7A along with Halls and Peabody if they choose to play in 1A.

Peabody would have a better chance at another championship in 2A next year

Too bad they don't use the basketball classifications for football.

I promised you Haywood had about 600-700 students when the report was released a few weeks ago. Somehow, they listed Haywood in the 900-950 category... I hope someone else noticed that.

Yes they would be in 7A. It will be interesting to see what Peabody does. If they play down then they will take a big hit in the money department. Gates of Gleason, Greenfield, So. Fulton and other small schools vs the gates they get now. They would only be able to schedule 2 non region games. It would be tough to make that money up. Peabody would not have very much competition in 1A from either side of Tennessee. Not even the mighty Pirates could fair very well against the tide. It would take most 1A programs 3 to 4 years to be able to compete with them. 

There no gate money in who we are playing now. The only big gates are Milan and gibson county. We are scheduling Memphis teams and paying them to play us because we couldn’t get the schedule we wanted. So I see no difference in money

That is true but in 2A Peabody does get the gate for games against their region teams. I know Union City, Adamsville, McKenzie all have good crowds. Alot better than most 1A schools. Plus there would be virtually no competition in 1A for Trenton. If they want to win the 1A title for the next two years playing nobody then by all means 1A is their ticket but if they want to be challenged then 2A will do that alot better. To me if Peabody plays in 1A then great. Lake County never runs from anyone and in the long run it will make LC better. I have seen in my time teams that come from 2A to 1A has 4 or 5 real dominate years and then for some reason their programs start to fall off. Then when they go back to a higher classification they struggle. It might be the lack of competition week in and week out that causes it. In 1A a dominant team might have 1 or 2 close games a year. In a higher classification those odds change.

So. Pitt will not want any of them. I really don't think people understand how Peabody would run rough shot over 1A for at least the next 2 years. I know it will eventually make 1A teams up there games and Peabody will slide back to the pack but that would take 2 to 4 years. Hey you got to play who the TSSAA puts in front of you.

Looks like we’ll probably pick up York and possibly lose meigs. I’d say Monterey goes to region 3. 

Yup I’m thinking same

I never said anything about lake county being scared.  Union city and adamsville crowd has dropped off. We were in 1a 2015 and 2016 and didn’t win a championship. You never know greenback and south Pitt might bring in new recruits just for Peabody
