What's Up

[Maynardette]

Cloudland Highlanders has a schedule that includes out of state (Virginia) regular games this season. The reason is because there are several teams that won't play us this year. Cloudland is good, and from what I understand (could be wrong but I call em like I see em)......several in-state teams in our region have opted not to play them, and we filled up our schedules with teams that would. Im a mom, not a rocket scientist.

My question is this: How will the out of state results affect our standings? How does TSSAA determine games lost or won when part of the season standings include out-of-state teams??

Pujo, you would probably be the one to help me out here.

Maynardette, these games means nothing, just bragging rights. They should put us to the test and that will only help us.

What region teams opted out? If they did then it is considered a forfit and adds a win in ur region standings and a loss in the region for the other school.

Like she said, she,s only a mother. South Greene dropped us and now we will only be playing Hampton one time. Powell Valley moved up to 2a so they will not be in our region. Local schools don,t want to play us so we had to go shopping in Virginia. Should only make us better.

Pujo,I totally agree ,it can only make the team much better with new competion.

Where does Cloudland play Appalachia at? I work with some Appalachia fans. They told me that Appalachia has won several state titles. Appalachia should be a good test for Cloudland.

 

Cloudland should handle Rye Cove. JJ kelley is a pretty good football team.

 

Another powerhouse in that part of the state is Gate City.At least in the small school division. A former co worker used to tell me about that bunch. He said they are well coached. I think them and Cloudland would be a great game.

Cloudland plays Appalachia on the road,JJ Kelly and Rye Cove is at home. Should be fun.

welcome to the world that Brentwood Academy and MBA face every year. you can't get in state teams to play you, because they are often afraid.

I agree with Pujo in that it will oly make the Landers stronger.

My biggest concern is how TSSAA is going to look at our record at the end of the regular season if part of our schedule includes out of state games.

I am cornfuzed! If the games are for fun and experience only, arent we missing official games that WOULD count? And if some teams choose not to play us, is it a forfeit for them?

Someone enlighten me!

[pujo]

We are playing all the teams in our region. Unaka.North Greene,Cosby and Jellico. The other six games mean nothing.. Of cource ,we go to win them all.

i dont think that MBA and BA have to schedule out of state games b/c people being afraid ot them.
