Heck, both White House & Heritage have played up in 4A the last few years. They both had 3A numbers. I know the Patriots got wind of Pearl Cohn moving up to 4A and that helped Heritage make their decision to move down. 

They don’t get to “decide” to move down. You can only “decide” to play up in classification. The reason they are in 3A is because they have 3A numbers.

Not true! Heritage played up the last 3 years. Coach Dickerson decided it was time to move down in their correct classification. The reason for playing up in 4A was because they would have been in same region as the Metro Nashville schools. There’s no gate! I’m certain on this point.

@Fryinpan66

I am pretty sure that they meant you couldn’t play BELOW your classification.  In example 4A and want to play 3A to cut down travel wouldn’t be allowed. You’re right about playing up for that same reason, to cut down travel.  That is what y’all did the past couple years when you were in our Region.  Man, I sure enjoyed that Region too.  GREAT fan support at all the schools and all schools were an easy drive

I’m pretty sure I meant what I said. Heritage was and is a 3A school. They played up the last 3 years, being the smallest school in 4A (because they had 3A enrollment). Coach decided to play/move back down to their correct classification in 3A. We really are splitting hairs here!

 Yes and how you comprehend the words on the rule.  Example - Ravenwood is 6A - they cannot ask to play 5A based on their enrollment, they have too many kids to be in that classification.  Pearl Cohn enrollment is 3A, but they asked for and were granted permission to play 4A.  They could have asked for and but not been granted permission to play 2A based on their number of students.  They can ask for and be granted permission to play 3A again if their enrollment numbers fall in that category.  I could not help but split more hairs on this subject - I have extra to split!  LOL!

Having said that, in my opinion adding WHH, WH, and Waverly to this region has made it stronger - in my opinion.

You can not be a 4 A school and play down to 3A. That goes for all classifications.

PC asked to move up to get away from Alcoa probably.

I totally agree in everything in 6our post.  Your explanation as well as your assessment of WHH, WH and Waverly improving the Region.  Well done

    • A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.
    • Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle. 
    • I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
