The McMinn Central seniors are on a mission to go out with a bang, desiring to play Sweetwater for the Region championship - and beyond.  The taste of success is addictive, so I think they'll be ready for the Loudon challenge.

That's  what I was thinking once that ball gets rolling they won't wanna stop winnin and play their hearts out. But really the region is the most competitive it's ever been this year.  I like mcminn central over loudon. My score prediction is.

Chargers: 21

Redskins: 17

From reading likely reclassifications: If Loudon and Signal Mtn moves up to 4A, and Meigs Co. moves up to 3A, it would make a good Region 3-3A between Meigs Co., Brainerd, McMinn Central, Kingston, and Sweetwater. 
As a thought, if they moved Brainerd to another region, what other nearby teams would be a good fit for 3-3A? Possibly Rockwood, or a Knox County team? 



EDIT: On the 'Likely Re-Classification' post on this page, the poster said "Guessing from 541-726 enrollment for Class 3A. Trying to get 6 teams in each was the goal. 
Region 3: Meigs 544, Tyner 547, Brainerd 615, Sequatchie 636, McMinn Central 654, Chattanooga Central 719.

What about Polk County?

I'd imagine Polk stays at 2A, depending on the approved low/high student numbers for 2A or 3A.
It's all speculation at this stage, for enrollment numbers and teams for each Region classification. As an example, I just don't see Sequatchie playing in 3-3A, as was thought by the poster I quoted. That's about a 3 1/2 bus ride at best for the traveling team - and that's assuming good traffic through Chattanooga on a Friday. 
I've heard that the TSSAA might look at each school's enrollment numbers for October, in addition to the enrollment numbers for each school at the start for any major discrepancies before they reclassify. That might work for a handful of teams' benefit, but naturally there would be complaints if a school missed the cutoff number by 1 student. 
Whatever is done, you can count on the TSSAA botching something up in the process.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
