That was shortly after HVA opened, and 6A was capped at 32 teams. Bearden and HVA were both larger at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADS1 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Funny thing about a football... It's odd shaped and takes funny bounces. I guess all of Knoxville is predicting West to win about 35-0. Guess that means that I will have to pull for Walker Valley... 28-27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are a lot of factors. Population is a natural one. Popularity/emphasis of the sport, largely because of UT, also drives a lot of kids to play. Competition, coaching, and the availability of personal training have also greatly improved here. I do think this is a misnomer in 6A, as Knox-area teams (aside from Maryville) aren't nearly as dominant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the presence and dominance of both Alcoa and Maryville have contributed to that as well. They raised the bar for the schools around them and in 4a/5a schools have responded. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5AfballFan Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 It's a shame that Walker Valley didn't want to play West when they both had a COVID opening at the beginning of the season. Always like to see a playoff rematch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having that level of competition, along with the private schools, has really ratcheted things up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
