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.

    • Yeah corbin thats the team.  Yeah they are 4a now, but in 2017 they was 3a, and didnt win a title, and was steamrolled in there playoff loss.  They alo got beat by a 1a team that year just looked up there secedule.  Point is a 3a team in tennessee good enough to win a title should not be losing to a 3a team in kentucky that got whipped in there playoffs plus lost to a 1a team.  We always say tennessee football is far superior than kentucky, but our teams have not been doing a good job of showing it.  Ive always felt a 3a champion in tennessee is equivalent to about a 5a team in the weak bluegrass state, but the few games ive followed the last decade we have been getting whipped.  Blackmon to bowling green, alcoa to corbin.   The worst is when Union City played a team about there size named mayfield the same year they won a title, but got beat by like 40 and shutout.  Then that mayfield team doesnt win a title.  Ive seen far to many of our teams win a title, and the same dang year lose to a school from kentucky thats about equal in size that isnt even good enough to win a title in there state.  That mayfield team beat trousdale county one year, and it was trousdale only loss in like a 40 something game stretch, then that team gets whipped in the finals in kentucky. So no team trousdale played in there class can beat them for like 3 years, and they go undefeated against there out of class opponents in tennessee, but lose the one game they play against kentucky to another small school that is around there size.  Do u not think it looks bad when our number 1 team in a class plays a kentucky team thats the 2nd-5th best team in there class of similar size and loses.  Sure doesnt look good to me.  We always down kentuckys football, and say we r superior, but we have looked like a joke in about every game ive cared to follow when i thought its a great matchup.  Alcoa, union city, blackman, trousdale co ive seen it to many times.   I was all over that thread when union city played mayfield, and a coulple of those mayfield fans got on this board, and there was a good back and forth, between us in tn and the mayfield posters.  We was telling them how superior union city would b and how they would run it down there throats all night.  Of course the mayfield fans just said wait and c tennessee football is behind the times, then after union city got destroyed we looked stupid.  Aint noone on here thought alcoa would lose to corbin either and they did.  I dont care if it was in ot, do we do moral victories now?  Hay we can win 10 titles a row in 3a in our state, but the 1 time we play a kentucky 3a team we lose, but lets b happy it was only by a point in overtime to a team that cant win in any class they have been in in 40 years so lets celebrate that our champion cant beat there runner up who was beaten badly in there title game lets be happy about it.
    • Northview was very impressive last year. I think their draw cost them last year. They played South Side and Dyersburg and then Heritage. South Gibson, South Side and Dyersburg only two will go from the west. Will be a dogfight for sure. Like I said earlier, if South Gibson don't learn to score they won't make it to state. Will be interesting for sure. 
    • Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.
    • Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war.We had some quality wins this summer. Beat Huntingdon, Henry County, Bowling Green, Liitle Rock Central as well as a couple other quality Kentucky Teams. Westview's talent pool may not be what it has been without transfers the next few. And as far as Wilkins riding off into the sunset, where do y'all seem to think he will leave?? Wilkins is a healthy dude and he loves basketball and loves coaching. I wouldn't be suprised if he coaches a few more years. He loves the game and loves every minute of coaching.   
    • I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!
