You don't know of a school? lol 7A has played at AAA Livingston or AAA White Co for as long as I've been going...27 years. AAA plays at Tennessee Tech. We have huge crowds...if Clay plays Pickett in the finals at East Robertson, half those wanting to get in won't be able to. Watertown is the only school I've ever known to host in their own region. The logic is fairness. Why should any school get a home court advantage?

You probably read what swipes said, but evidently you didn't absorb it...the member schools of a district/region have a meeting and decide all these details beforehand. Not everyplace operates the same, but in most around the western side of the state bids are accepted to host, while switching between regions every other year. TSSAA has guidelines regarding size of venue, but other than that, has no input in the decision. Usually in region, if the host region is swept out of the tourney, it (the tournament) reverts back to the host school of the district still playing.

   The money isn't the factor that you would believe either...after bidding to host, splitting with TSSAA, funding hospitality rooms, paying officials, ect... there isn't usually a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow.

Were do you expect them to play the games at then?  There are a ton of regions that has one school host the regions after the first round.  Ex Region 1-AAAA is being played at Jeff County, if Jeff Cou

You could use any other school within the host regions area. Especially with 1A/2A’s gyms being smaller. More fans/more money. You’d think t$$aa would be all over that.

Like I said I didn’t know of a school since that’s not how it has been done around here almost all the time.  Some Other districts in East and NE Tn have the higher seed playing at home the entire time for regionals.  It sounds like the region you just mentions sounds like the exception not the rule.

In region 2-AAA, Northview and seymour are in the district not hosting the region this year, but are the only two remaining in the tournament for girls.  Seymour wants to host the championship because they are the one seed and northview is two, but northview insists the game stay at the neutral site of the other district that hosted the semis.  Now Halls is hosting and are not playing. This makes absolutely no sense and the game should go to the other district's top seed, Seymour.

People really have no idea how things really work. Each district and region decide on the host a year in advance, not depending on who is having a good year that year.

And Trader Two is correct. Hosting is hardly the great windfall people think it is. This is certainly not the first year a school has hosted without having a team involved. Happens every single year.

right... the TSSAA does not control the venue. However, some districts reward the regular season top seed with hosting. I'm and if their district hosts the region they allow the district tournament winner to host the region.

Every district is autonomous. They make their own decision on where to have it. They can also have a two team bye in a 7 team league which makes no sense either except to the scared 2nd place team. You are not even required to play a district tournament. You can just send your 1st thru 4th from regular season on to the region tournament. There are a lot of baseball and softball districts that allow the regular season winner to automatically go to the region even if they lose first round. Again, whatever the district agrees to.

correct. I still like district tournament winners get a buy in Region and send the loser of the consolation game home without a region bid. let the runner up and third place teams play for a chance to play in the region semi finals.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By Dawgz4life · Posted

      This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.

      Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.

      It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.

      That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.

      school closing in Shelby county

      Trez's last scandal has died down, so I guess this is there opportunity to be the best 4A team playing in 2A a la Sissy MTN.  At least they won't be in a Z-district with 1a teams in the regular season.
