When it comes to the TSSAA and regions who knows but this is my stab at it! I could totally be wrong and it's hard to decipher what TSSAA will do when splitting up the state.

East to West or North to South? 

There is a lot of travel in some of these regions but how the state and 2A teams are spread out in some areas it is what it is.

East 26 Schools

Region 1: Hampton (#6), Happy Valley (#7), South Greene (#5), West Greene (#2), Eagleton (#1), Cumberland Gap (#4), Oneida (#8), and Wartburg (#3)

 *Region 1 has a lot of travel and is the biggest region with 8 teams. Also, Hands down the toughest region in the state.

Region 2: Jackson County (#2), Smith County (#6), Monterey (#3), York (#1), Trousdale (#7), Westmoreland (#5), and East Robertson (#4)

Region 3: Tellico Plains (#1), Polk (#2), Bledsoe (#4), Mario (#5), and Fayetteville (#3)

 *Region 3 is the trickiest region to predict because of the distance between the schools and lack of 2A schools close to each other. Also, the smallest region in the state with only 5 teams so someone from another region could potentially move here.

Region 4: Cascade (#5), Forrest (#6), Harpeth (#4), East Hickman (#3), Cannon (#1) , and Hickman County (#2)

West 25 Schools

Region 5: Summertown (#1), Loretto (#2), Lewis (#5), Riverside (#4), Adamsville (#6), and Mt. Pleasant (#3)

Region 6: Camden (#6), Huntingdon (#5), JCM (#2), Milan (#3), Gibson (#1), Waverly (#4), and Peabody (#7)

Region 7 and 8: Memphis Schools

*Hands down the toughest region in the state and the West representative will come from this region most if not all years.

Region 7 and 8: Memphis Schools

 

 

Not trying to be "that guy", but why not switch Riverside and Adamsville from R5 with Camden and Waverly from R6? Or just Wavo and Adamsville. Not that I could do better, (or as well) but in the past those groupings have been more in line with what I asked.

I completely agree. Region 4A almost became a disaster as Gordonsville was very close to moving up (and could in the next classification if everything keeps growing in that part of Smith County). That would have left Clay County, Jo Byrns, and RBS as the only three teams in the region. The next closest teams to add would be Harriman from the East, Whitwell/Sale Creek/South Pitt from South, or possibly a team like Moore County/Cornersville, which would move another team out a region with more natural opponents. The other option would have been to absolve Jo Byrns into a region further west, Clay County/RBS into existing Region 2 or Region 3, and then split another region somewhere into two separate ones. This situation is a good argument for five classes, as Jackson County, Gordonsville, and Trousdale County would all safely be 1A and then you could have a legitimate 6-7 team region.

This is way too logical for the modern TSSAA.

This looks spot on! You need to apply for a TSSAA position. I heard the pay is good.

I liked it as well.

Could Cannon County & Monterey be swapped?

Jasper and Pikeville to Cannon isn’t too bad. Polk or Tellico that’s getting rough. Monterey also, though. Someone has to bite the bullet.

By George, if it looks as good to the guys from the east as regions 4,5&6 to me, I think you've nailed it!

5 guys from CoachT could have a really good statewide alignment completed in one afternoon. Probably for pizza and beer and not the 6 figure TSSAA salaries.

Now watch him totally fail on his 1A region projections.
