3-A new regions out!

[boorelly]

This is some crap. It goes against the reason why they are realigning. They made this to benefit the other schools. I guess they are tired of AE and Fulton dominating East Tennessee in 3A. May I also say that I honestly think they did this to screw either Anderson County or Kingston. I think this is a get Larry Kerr move. If you are trying to prevent travel then think about this region for 2 3A. Fulton, Austin East, Seymour, Catholic, Carter, Gibbs and Kingston. All but two are Knox County schools and Seymour is right on the County line. And Kingston would not have to pass through Knox County to play in Region 1 and most closer to Knox County than having to travel to Chattanooga area for Region 3. Region 1 Pegion Forge, Union County, Claiborne County, Scott County, Rutledge, and Anderson County.

No sense crying....what's done is done. Region 2 will beat the snot out of each other and then beat the snot out of whoever emerges from region 1 in the playoffs. Maybe now Gibbs and Carter can get into the playoffs.

It doesn't matter if A-E and Fulton are in the same Region or not, they will still meet in the 3rd round of the playoffs every year.

Ha I dont think so, A-E is losing a lot of talent this year and Fulton doesnt have the great playmakers they have always had.....UH OOOHHH, my friend i am sorry but look for the Mavericks and Maybe the Irish to fight it out, Now the Irish are trying to get Powell on their schedule and they already have Webb, They will have one heck of a change but....They are gonna surprise everyone. Oskie you need to tell them what i am trying to tell them, You know for a fact Catholic Has at least one playmaker and that he CAN be the difference next year. I think you know the kid personally, Just inform them Oskie and Oskie is right quit complaning and take it as it lies. By the way as young as the Mavs were this year expect them to be right back into the mix next year......Go Irish

All I can say is WOW!!!! You aren't even a part of this region yet and you're already gettin enemies. AE is losing talent...man you're quick.,....they do EVERY year. The Runners are overflowing with incredible talent year-in, year-out. As for Fulton not having the great playmakers. Well.....where I come from....football is about a team. And Fulton's been pretty successful livin by that rule. Don't look for the Mavs to have that great of a year next year either. They've got alot of readjusting to do. They should have been more successful then they were this year young or not. And if you wanna go there.......as you're sayin fulton won't be successful next year. well....we started 6 sophomores on defense this year for starters. We have a very young team too. We will only improve over the next couple of years. If I'm not mistaken, our freshmen teams have been undefeated or maybe lost one game every season for the past 2 or 3 years....that shows that Fulton should only get better. And AE will bounce right back from graduating harris and mcallister. you talkin bout the wrong people....like i said.....don't make enemies before you even step through the door.

Region 2-3A is an illustration in what's wrong at the top in the TSSAA...Knoxville to Livingston every other year? I thought the goal was to try and reduce travel for most teams...we all know that's almost impossible with the exception of a handful of schools.

 

How about scott traveling to livingston, or vise-versia. Thats like a 3-4 Hour

drive!!!!

 

But this should be a great, but tough region to be apart of and expecially to get to play in it

Obviously this region went from being tough to tougher. I don't know what kind of football Catholic plays, because I haven't seen them play. I do know that they have at least one very, very good football player, and an excellent head coach. So they have my respect, even though we haven't played yet. Livingston, I know even less about, although being in the quarterfinals speaks for itself. The region will not change much, AE and Fulton will continue to be loaded with athletes. still making them the teams to beat.

Every team in this region will be well coached, most definitely!

3A stinks big time. That's the easiest class in high school football. AE moved up to dodge those whoopins Alcoa was putting on them and has been in the top 5 since then. 3A is terrible though. thumb

AE is in 3a because their enrollment dictates it. If Alcoa wanted to play AE...they could have moved up to 3a.

AE wasn't forced to move up. They moved up willingly. Why should Alcoa move up just to play AE? AE is not that good. They couldn't make it past the 2nd or 3rd round in 2A. 3A stinks!

AlcoaBoi,

 

Are you ignorant, or what? AE had a student population of 783 back in 2000. That puts them smack-dab in the middle of 3A. That FORCED them to move up to 3A. They DID NOT have a choice.

 

Their current student population is now 781, which again puts them dead-smack in the middle of the 3A schools, AGAIN. They are not allowed to play in 2A football!
