Interesting I didn’t know that they had 2 regions. How many teams in each ?  Could it be that they can’t afford to travel out of Memphis ? It’s a good haul to anything outside of Memphis to another 2a school 

IIRC 2A is the only classification with 2 Memphis regions. 3 teams in region 7 and 5 teams in region 8. If they can’t afford it maybe the T$$AA guys should cut their 6 figure salaries a bit and let them use it to cover travel cost. 
 

easily could have moved waverly to region 6 and then split the now region 6 + waverly into two regions and had one 8 team Memphis region. But that makes too much sense I guess for the T$$AA

I agree but on the other hand isn't it great to be in a region with the kind of competition we face every week. Region 6 is football country. These other regions couldn't survive over here. You advance out of region 6 you got something to be proud of!

Sure but then very deserving teams goes home round 2 and round 3 instead of advancing. Meanwhile a team with a losing record my end up making it to round 3 from region 7 or 8

From what I remember that is a first. I think prior classifications they have just been region 8 and the region Huntingdon and Trenton are in was region 7

If you can’t win 4 games in a season you shouldn’t be in the playoffs. I don’t care what region you happen to be in. Peabody or Adamsville would go down and beat Mitchell every Friday. Maybe Fairley

What I don’t understand is that all of those Memphis teams only play 8 or 9 games, and a bye is in there. Back in the early 2000s a basketball region had two Memphis teams in it and the other teams were Trenton, Bradford, LC, Humboldt, Middleton. Why couldn’t they just put a region 6 team in that region that didn’t have a full region.

They don’t have enough football fields in Memphis. The answer is all of the Memphis teams should be in one region not 2 partial regions. So they essential get to send 8 teams to the play offs and they should only be sending 4 

It’s been that way besides the years trezevant  won back to back states. While one side beats up on one another the favorite in that side should have a cake walk to the semis

I didn’t realize it was split in Memphis the last few years. I just just thought it was the way it had been with all of them in one region.

Nah. The TSSAA just wanted to give at least one Memphis team an automatic bid to the semifinals. Someone down that way has some major pull.

    • We have 2 PG's that will be added to the lineup and another guard and all are athletic and can handle ball pressure. Gibson County beat Westview 4 times in 2024. Westview brought in a Miss Basketball Candidate from South Fulton last year and you want to say Gibson County has a mental hump against Westview. I tell you what you put her on Gibson County's squad and Westview would have had a mental hump. Here is a fact. They wouldn't have won it without her last year. Last I looked Gibson County has played with who we got on our campus. Let's see how Westview does this year with who they got on their campus. I do think they will be pretty good but I don't like shots being taken at my school especially from Westview. 
    • Smith County fans are delusional is they are wanting to get rid of Dyer. If they think they are supposed to be some powerhouse of a football program that wins 10+ games every year they need a reality check. Never have been that good of a football program and probably never will. It’s too hard for a small rural place to be consistently good every single year 
    • If you’re talking about when they lost to Corbin HS out of Kentucky(4A school in KY) in 2017, they lost by 1 point and Corbin went 14-2 that year in Kentucky so to say they got “taken behind the woodshed by a mediocre out of state team” is a bit of a stretch. You act like Alcoa never loses at all. They lose games every year, granted mostly to Maryville but other teams have beaten them in the regular season. Alcoa just turns into another animal in the playoffs. Winning is a learned skill and it’s an advantage that Alcoa has over everyone when the postseason rolls around  
    • Carthage is returning QB will be his 3rd years starting and a Jr.He should be coming around.A soph tailback that got a lot of exp as a freshman.Biggest problem is the line.They have a couple of good athletes that will make plays but the rest still remain to be seen.Size is not a problem.New OC will be interesting.He is known to be a trickster but a genius in some peoples mind.Coach Dyer better get the ball rolling.I'm hearing a lot of eyes will be on him this year.GO OWLS
    • If Alcoa keeps winning titles after moving to 4a it makes the whole state look weak.  Havent they won 10 in a row or something.  My god how can a team win 10 in a row, and the 1 time they went and played a kentucky 3a team they got there ace's beat.  Some redbone coonhound team handled business on them, but they can constantly win 3a in tennessee.  I remember at the time looking up that redbone coonhound team that beat them, and found out that team is made fun of across the state of kentucky cause they havent won a title in like close to 50 years.  Think i seen they are now in 4a in kentucky, and they never won a title in the last 40-50 years no matter if they are 2a, 3a, or 4a but somehow was able to take alcoa behind the woodshed in the midst of there title run about 5-8 ,years ago dont remember the year.  Point is it looks bad when a team gets there hind end whooped like a 3 legged rented mule to a mediocre out of state team the 1 time they play them, but can dominate the whole state in 3a for over a decade.  Someone has to start beating them.
