Sequatchie Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Region 2:Alcoa CAK Loudon Oliver Springs Rockwood Sweetwater Wartburg Central Region 3: Bledsoe County Boyd-Buchanan Marion County Meigs County Polk County Sequatchie County Tellico Plains Tyner Academy Since Boyd Buchanan will be moved into Reg. 3-2A I really think that Tellico Plains should be moved into 3-3A its a more natural region as for as travel goes. Region 3 would be better with Rockwood in the region than Tellico or if they don't move Tellico they could split the Region up into two sections a East & West section. EAST Meigs County Polk County Tellico Plains Tyner Academy WEST Bledsoe County Boyd Buchanan Marion County Sequatchie County Not real sure out of Boyd or Tyner of which school is the furthest east but I think its Tyner? The top two teams in each bracket would go to the playoffs. So what do you think about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsfball Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Because some intelligent person at the TSSAA always made small rural Stewart County play regional opponents Goodpasture and David Lipscomb, two of those private non-recruiting (cough, cough) schools. 825285589[/snapback] Yeah, Lipscomb probably recruits. I mean, they have allllll those athletes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sequatchie Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 How will Boyd,DCA,and CPA compete in 2A. Can any of them Compete for state? 825290597[/snapback] Yes they can compete and would not be surprised if one of them is in the title game next season. Boyd will win or finish 2nd in there new region! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goosevol Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Boyd, DCA, CPA and a few other privates will take Goodpasture's and David Lipscomb's place among the elite in Class AA. They will be in the hunt every year for a state title. It probably won't be long until TSSAA will be asked to move the privates up again if they continue to dominate.

We need to kick Tyner and Boyd out, and go back to the good ole days where the top team would change every year and it was always up in the air. Football in this region isn't any fun anymore, and Meigs is seeing a drop in the athletes that play, because of it. Who wants to be second or third?

How would you do that? Maybe we could just give the kids from Meigs their own region so they could be first EVERY year! The most ridiculous statement I have heard on these boards in a long time. If this is the attitude that the students from Meigs County HS have, then they don't deserve even 2nd or 3rd. Competition should make you better, but you have to adapt to what is dealt to you. If the teams around you are getting better, for whatever reason, then in order for you to compete you must do something different that what you have done before. We have done that in Oak Ridge, you can do that in Meigs County. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the rural counties surrounding Chattanooga we do not have the athletes to compete with Tyner's recruiting. Any student that lives in all of Hamilton Co. can go to Tyner. This gives them an advantage over the rural counties in the area. It takes us many yrs to have a class come through with the raw ability that Tyner gets every yr. We do work hard in Meigs and we have changed things up, but the fact still remains that Tyner can pick from close to 50,000 kids to let in their school and still remain at 2A. We at Meigs have a inrolement of about 550 students in 9th-12th grades. I just feel like we are getting a raw deal. Also this is not the view of a student at Meigs so leave them out of it. I am a fan of highschool football and its not right. What you said about making it so Meigs can win every year, that is what it is now with Tyner. I don't see any team in the rural counties around Chattanooga being able to beat Tyner for many yrs. I may be wrong, and I hope I am. They may get beat this year. Do any of you think so?

Do any of you think so? 825303984[/snapback] jwinston, Some of what you said is opinion, some of it is true and some of it is just plain 'ole envious. You are right about Tyner being a "magnet school" which lets kids who desire a certain academic curriculum attend the school, however, Tyner has not always been a magnet school. We were 3A runner-up to Melrose in the 1996 Championship game and in prior years had to face Marion County( and you know what kind of "dynasty" they had in the early 1990's)...not once did you hear of any complaints...our Coach Wayne Turner just got better and better and we won the 2A Championship a year later(1997) . As for recruiting and having a pool of "athletes" to choose from, we don't have that luxury. I think you have us confused with some of the other teams we have to face in the playoffs...namely Goodpasture and Lipscomb. You just have "to play with the cards that are dealt to you". I didn't agree with letting Goodpasture back into Region 4 in 1999 because for two(2) years they had already stock-piled enough players in the "private" league. This cost the RAMS the title in 1999( we lost 18-21) and no one else came close to beating Goodpasture that year. Each year we either face Lipscomb or Goodpasture...we have to deal with it...last year we beat Goodpasture, however, we lost Lipscomb...we have to deal with it!!! My response to you is "You must deal with the Tyner RAMS every year" so deal with it and quit whining!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 (edited) It must not be that difficult a magnet when your two SEC linemen failed to qualify, or at least one of them with the other hopefully scraping in. Other Division I talents have had to go Division II from there, and one that went to UTC that I really liked isn't on the team anymore. With that being said, I do hope Smith and Bouldin they make it, I want to see them on TV representing the area.
