Most interesting statement from TSSAA website:

 

To be able to guarantee schools Friday-night region contests and better manage the current shortage of officials in many areas of the state, the state office will be setting the region football schedules for 2023 and 2024. The completed region schedules will be posted to the TSSAA website on November 21 at 1 PM central time (2 PM eastern). Region games will be scheduled from Week 3 through Week 11 with a small number of Week 1 and 2 games possible for the largest regions or in areas where there are fewer officiating crews available. Every school will play a Week 11 region game. Week 11 games for Classes 1A/3A/5A/DII-A/DII-AAA will be scheduled for Thursday in 2023 and Friday in 2024. Week 11 games for Classes 2A/4A/6A/DII-AA will be scheduled for Friday in 2023 and Thursday in 2024. Schools will be able to schedule non-region games once the region schedules are published on November 21.

Why wouldn't they? It fixes their scheduling issue. I dont have any inside info about Alcoa, but it makes sense to me. They would still be favored to win the east side of the state. Year end and year out they would be favored to win against AC, Betsy, and Greeneville. It would be tougher games for them for sure compared to what they play regular season now and first few rounds of playoff. I think those State Championship Betsy and Greeneville teams could have or would have beat Alcoa.

I can't answer that....I just know they are not moving up. Which I think would be awesome if they waited until the past minute and shocked some teams that are playing up to avoid them lol.

I was right there with you but I’m hearing this morning Alcoa will move up. Will be interesting to see no doubt. They would be in our region with us in region 2 4A and other area Knoxville schools.

I really dont think those schools play up again even if they know Alcoa is coming

If Alcoa knows those schools won't move up and they get a larger region I think they are coming.

This is BS in my opinion. They should allow the schools to make their own schedule. They already take, take, take from the schools especially in the playoffs when you have those games and gates. They get half. With all that extra money they take from each school they should pay officials more so they don't have to do some BS like this.

My 3A Guess:

 

Pearl-Cohn will move up and play 4A.  Who moves up from 2A?  Who else decides to move up to 4A?  These are anyone's guess.  

 

 

(7) Memphis East, Douglass, Wooddale, Hamilton, Melrose, Raleigh Egypt, Bolton will make up Region 8-3A.

 

(7) Liberty Tech, Westview, Ripley, McNairy Central, Dyersburg, Bolivar, Covington will make up Region 7-3A.

 

(5) Cheatham County, Sycamore, Fairview, Stewart County, Scotts Hill should make up Region 6-3A.

 

(5) Maplewood, East Nashville, Stratford, RePublic, and Whites Creek should make up Region 5-3A.

 

(5) White House-Heritage, Liberty Creek, Watertown, Giles County, Community should make up Region 4-3A.

 

(7) Meigs County, Tyner Academy, Brainerd, Sequatchie County, McMinn Central, Chattanooga Central, Grundy County should make up Region 3-3A.

 

(7) Loudon, Sweetwater, Kingston, Austin East, Alcoa, Scott County, Union County should make up Region 2-3A.

 

(6) Gatlinburg-Pittman, Chuckey-Doak, Pigeon Forge, Johnson County, Claiborne County, Unicoi County should make up Region 1-3A.

I have no dog in this race, but region 4 seems jacked up. Giles County which is at the Alabama line and White House Heritage which is at the Kentucky line doesn’t make much sense to me.

    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
