Huntingdon vs Loretto (battle of the Mustangs)

[Tide21]

I can’t see Loretto having anything for Huntingdon but you never know. If I remember correctly from last year I think Loretto has never won a playoff game or maybe only 1

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

I agree with this.

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.
