McMinn County back with old rivals as TSSAA releases initial alignments for 2027-2029 cycle

McMinn County’s basketball, baseball and softball teams are set to return to competition with their former district rivals under the TSSAA’s initial alignments for the 2027–2029 cycle. The change ends a two-year arrangement that placed the teams with Knoxville-area opponents. The new alignments restore a more familiar district setup for the county’s school sports programs.
