It has not been officially announced yet, but I have it on good authority that UT Knoxville will be holding a USFirst Regional this coming year. The first “Smokey Mountain Regional” USFirst competition is tentatively set for March 30-April 2, 2011.
Stay tuned for more info!
The BAYOU REGIONAL is still closer to Memphis, but it is nice to know that USFirst is taking hold in Tennessee.
In other USFirst news, Tennessee now has its own regional director: LaJean Robinson (ljrobinsoniii@aol.com). She was hired over the summer after they split TN out of the region that included Georgia.
In news closer to home: Memphis City Schools hopes to add two more teams (making a total of 6 teams in Memphis)!
