Now that Week 1 is behind us, schools across the state are preparing for the second week of the high school football season. Roughly 15 games have been affected this week due to COVID-19 concerns and 160 games are still set to be played.

TSSAA encourages everyone -- administrators, coaches, officials, and fans -- to work together to follow the protocols that local host schools have in place so that our student-athletes have the opportunity to enjoy athletic competition throughout this new year.

Although most TSSAA mandates from a year ago are no longer in place, it is important that visiting teams and spectators adhere to the rules or requirements instituted by local school boards, municipalities and other government agencies where they are traveling. TSSAA believes that every adult and every participant must do their part and conduct themselves safely and thoughtfully so that the schools can provide as many opportunities as possible for the student-athletes this fall.

Sixteen teams will be in action against region opponents this week:

Gatlinburg-Pittman at Alcoa
Grainger at Greeneville
Cloudland at Unaka
Antioch at Cane Ridge (Thu)
Hillsboro at Station Camp
Hillcrest at Fairley
MLK Prep at Freedom Prep (Thu)
MAHS at Oakhaven (Thu)

Historical Matchups

Baylor and Ensworth meet this week in a rematch of the 2010 and 2011 state championship games. Ensworth won the 2010 meeting, 28-21 and the 2011 meeting, 48-10.

Oneida and Greenback meet in non-region play for the third consecutive season. Greenback was victorious in the schools' most recent playoff meeting in 2016. The 1992 semifinal contest between the two schools is perhaps the most memorable, particularly for Oneida, as they bested Greenback, 17-12, enroute to the school's first and only state championship in football. Stan Pennington completed six of nine passes and threw two touchdowns in the state title effort against BGA.

Henry Co. and Beech meet this week in a rematch of a 2018 playoff semifinal meeting that saw Henry Co. block Beech from a second-consecutive trip to the state title game. Beech finished state runners-up in 2017, Henry Co. was state runners-up in 2018.
