What did you expect the TSSAA to do, send them to East TN for Region play? It's all based on geographical location and how many schools are in that class compared to location.  It happens the same way in Football where some classifications you have middle tn teams going east or middle tn teams going west once play-offs start.  Not a Shame just a reality

The poster is talking about Memphis had three Districts and word is it was to benefit boys more than it was being realistic. Look at the District Tournaments and Region Tournaments in girls games those three Districts last year. Five or Six teams were pretty much non-existent and have Region Semi games 1-0 just forfeit games. Bad thing about it is they take up two spots at state and really good teams are left out. They actually went back to two Districts the next cycle like it should have been the first time. There are some Districts that have more teams just the way it is.

I believe the future plan calls on Gibson County & Westview to go West. I might be wrong, but if the programs continue what both have done over the last 20 years....that'll help the other teams in the current situation and will help both teams to continue to be strong and take on the Memphis area teams. I heard that somewhere in here.

We are either District 13 or 14 next year and Peabody is in our District and Huntingdon is in the Camden District and will keep going across the river. We will play the Adamsville, Decatur County and Scott’s Hill District in the Region and the winners will play the two Memphis Districts for substate. It will help Loretto and Summertown a little for sure. One of them will still have to play Huntingdon every year which won’t be easy. It will definitely help Gibson County and Westview.

No, not to the East obviously. I’m just making an assessment of how two regions/substates one in the west (westview, etc) and one in the east (alcoa, etc.) have a much tougher road to state. I know most is geography based. And most won’t/can’t change because of that. But for example Union City/ Westview is a 3+ hour drive to their substate matchups if they had to travel. Where getting to murfreesboro (state tournament) is actually a little less of a drive. It just doesn’t make sense that a substate(sectional) game would be further than the actual state tournament. But I did see where the next cycle it seems more geographically correct for those teams. I know it will never be perfect and this wasn’t a shot any anyone… just an assessment of how really good teams in the same region/substate won’t make it where as teams who may forfeit/lose will.

McNairy put it on Dyer County right?? Thought Dyer County was a much better team on paper.
