Here is the way I see the Class AA regions Eastern portion of the state (Regions 1-3).

 

Region 1

North Greene

Cumberland Gap

South Greene

Chuckey-Doak

Happy Valley

Gatlinburg-Pittman

West Greene

 

Region 2

Rockwood

Wartburg

Oliver Springs

CAK

Sweetwater

Alcoa

Loudon

 

Region 3

Bledsoe County

Sequatchie County

Marion County

Tyner

Boyd-Buchanan

 

*I could see Sweetwater being put in region 3 since they are the closest team to that region. That would give Region 2&3 each six teams.

Brian... there has to be at least seven teams in every region for it to balance out! I have heard that they will try to do this! This means they will have to move some teams around in region two to make it work. Region three will have seven it and makes more sense for them to play the teams just south of knox county than to drive all the way up to middle TN!

Don't think so ELA they cannot balance the Regions because of Region 8.

 

Region 8

 

George Washington Carver High School

Westview High School

B. T. Washington High School

Memphis South Side High School

Westwood High School

Oakhaven High School

Treadwell High School

Westside High School

 

8 teams in 1 region right there.

 

Look for Regions numbering from 6 to 9 members due to excessive travel. And that will be a consideration, don't think so then check fuel prices!

I've asked TSSAA about this and they told me that although they don't want any small regions (5-6 teams) they would rather have these they penalizing teams and shipping them to other regions to even things out.

If this is the case then the Class AA teams in the middle portion of the state will have big regions.

The only good thing about the Z-plan is that it would have eliminated these travel debates.

I think Rockwood is as close or closer than Sweetwater? :angry: I would like to see Rockwood & Oliver Springs in reg. 3

Here is another issue that has to be considered. Regions with an even number of teams such as 6,8 or 10 teams make scheduling easier. If a region has an odd number of teams one team has no region opponet for that given week. They then must search far and wide to find an opponet or play a week 0 game to get 10 games. For this reason I believe t$$aa will try to 6, 8, 10 team regions. Yes ,I know it can't always be done.

 

Also t$$aa has used natural boundaries to regionalize teams. Such as East or West of the Tn. river or they have used north/south lines. Look at the current region ELA is in: Stewart Co., Houston Co., westmoreland, east robertson , lipscomb, station camp and goodpasture. There is more than 100 miles East to West in this region. How did Harpeth not make it into this region? The T$$aa answer was that Harpeth fell to the south of the line drawn. If you can read a map you know that this makes no sense. Harpeth and waverly for that matter are both north of Interstate 40.

Not disagreeing with your argument but Westview High School is in Martin. Memphis has Westside & Westwood but not Westview.

    • Why? Low pay. Low budget thanks to the Rotary milking the programs revenue. Foul smell. There are other negative things... Positives: the players and being toward the top of the classification numbers wise.
    • What we have here is an influx of outsiders raining down on the town of Maryville like a swarm of locust trying to change our culture into the same crap they moved away from. I have no issues with anyone coming here but don't bring your politics with you. Most people around here never pay attention to the elections and keep letting the same ole rats and vermin right back in the back door and wonder why things are like they are. The problem at Maryville High is mainly due to letting outsiders get a foothold on control and shove their agenda down everyone's throat. Anyone that leaves there or let's say ranoff are replaced with an outsider with the same mindset. Eventually Maryville High will never be the same as it once was which I'm beginning to believe already but it's only chance of survival are to recruit people that will get in there and reverse the damage that has already happened.
    • Didn’t Dyersburg and Covington beat Westview pretty good last year
    • Barn wood ewe considur this bein' a knew Mairvul Mintality orr a chainge inn cullchure....???  
    • Athletics is just a piece. It can help them academically, socially and add confidence. I was still 17 when I finished my first quarter at UT. I was the last to get my driver's license. It's not always just for athletics.
