Teams are battling for state volleyball championships this week in Murfreesboro and only two weeks remain in the high school football regular season. This week, 80 of the 140 football contests are region matchups.

Schools are continuing to follow the COVID-19 guidelines and mandates and TSSAA believes that every adult and every participant must do their part and follow the guidelines set forth by the association and conduct themselves safely and thoughtfully so that the schools can provide as many opportunities as possible for the student-athletes this fall.

School administrators and coaches are aware of the guidelines and requirements, but the general public can educate themselves on what is being asked of everyone attending and participating in high school games this season by visiting the Return to Play page at TSSAA.org.

Spectators should be prepared to wear masks and have their temperatures checked at the entry gates. Those that are or have recently experienced COVID-19 symptoms will be asked to not enter the stadium. Because stadium seating capacities will be limited to allow for physical distancing, check your school's website or social media accounts for information on ticket availability. It is the host school's discretion to honor passes, or offer any public ticket sales at all, because of capacity restrictions.

Historical Matchups

MBA and Baylor meet in Week 10, a matchup that has resulted in two postseason wins for MBA in the Division II semifinals. MBA defeated Baylor in 2000 (21-0) and 2014 (31-29).

Spring Hill and undefeated BGA faced off in a 1991 Class A semifinal playoff game. Spring Hill's only loss of the year had come against BGA in Week 2 of the season, 29-25. Spring Hill responded after falling behind 17-0, but BGA would ultimately take the victory, 17-14. The quarterback for Spring Hill, Bernard Oden, would be selected the following year as the Class AA Mr. Football winner, a fitting recognition after accounting for 6,269 total yards of offense over his high school career.

More information about these games and others can be found at the online home of the TSSAA Championships, TSSAAsports.com.
