A couple schools moved up to 4A but  nothing huge. No real changes to 4A.

Region 1 and 2 will still run things for the most part. Mostly region 1. 

It wont be AC (Who has had their chances in 4A), Betsy or GV though, all 3 lose alot and will be down (with AC losing the most), it'll be other teams though

Agreed on Quadrant 1 running things though, but it'll be new faces outside of those 3

James Lawson moved to 5A I believe.

Here is what I'm predicting for 4A.  Right now, there are only 5 schools in the Chattanooga Region.  With Loudon playing up, I feel like that definitely sends Sequoyah to Region 3 for balance.  The distances do not add up though.  If the TSSAA is truly concerned with travel?

Region 1- 7 teams- With Northview going to Region 1.

Region 2- 7 teams- With the addition of Loudon to the Knoxville region, that could give Region 1 & 2 an even split.  Sequoyah to Region 2 would make their farthest Region game about an hour and fifteen minutes away to Gibbs.

Region 3- 6 teams- Chattanooga schools + Sequoyah (Sequoyah's shortest trip in Region 3 would be to East Ridge, which is an hour and eighteen minutes)

Region 4- 7 teams

Region 5- 8 teams.  With Marshall County having about an hour and a half average travel time.

Region 6 & 7- 11 teams total.  2 scenarios here.  Does the TSSAA split them with Interstate 40 or do they use a East-West divide?

Interstate 40 Split

Region 6- Hardin County, Chester County, Jackson South Side, Lexington, Fayette-Ware (5 teams)

Region 7- Obion County Central, South Gibson, Jackson North Side, Haywood County, Crockett County, Dyer County (6 teams)

or

East-West Split

Region 6- Hardin County, Chester County, Jackson North Side, Jackson South Side, Lexington, South Gibson (6 teams)

Region 7- Obion County, Dyer County, Haywood County, Crockett County, Fayette Ware (5 teams)

Region 8- 6 teams

You could also send Loudon down south keep Northview and have 7-7-7 split between region 2, 3, 4, and 6 in Region 1.

You could, but Loudon is 20-25 minutes closer to Knoxville than Sequoyah.  Sequoyah is closer to Knoxville than it is Chattanooga.  

Sequoyah to Region 2 would make their farthest Region game about an hour and fifteen minutes away to Gibbs.  

Sequoyah's shortest trip in Region 3 would be to East Ridge, which is an hour and eighteen minutes. 

Doesn't even make sense to send Sequoyah south, but that's probably what will happen.

One thing that always pops out to me, is the schools that are competitive in a larger class, and then their enrollment drops to lower their classification.  Many times, those teams are hard to beat in their new class.  White County and Station Camp come to mind when thinking about that situation.

 

P.S. Can we please stop talking about Alcoa playing up, they have no reason to do so.  Why move when you are winning?  Players and coaches work too hard to not have the absolute best shot at winning.

If travel was TSSAAs #1 concern they woud put Gibbs, Fulton, AC, South-Doyle, Seymour, Loudon, Sequoyah, Carter, Northview.

That would be a 9 team region. I doubt TSSAA does that though.

I agree with that.  Region 1 is already somewhat spread out.

Region 5 has been a 9 team region last 2 years.

You got Northview counted twice… that’s only 8 teams?
