The Most Talented 2A Teams
The newest iteration of Class 2A will be fascinating. Loretto, Douglass, and Monterey “moved up” from 1A while Chattanooga powers (Brainerd, Tyner Academy) and Nashville Metro remain (East Nashville, Pearl-Cohn, Whites Creek, Stratford). Do not overlook York Institute, Sweetwater, Alcoa, Mitchell. Bolivar Central is always in the mix, as well.
