With two weeks of the high school football season is in the books, TSSAA continutes to track games that have been canceled, moved or replaced due to COVID-19 concerns. As of this writing, 17 games have been affected by COVID-19 and 152 games are still on the docket to be played.
Week 3 is the region-opener for most schools, as more than 140 games will be between region foes. Four teams will face opponents this week that are not members of TSSAA.
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 should 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.

If a school is forced to cancel a contest due to COVID-19 this football season, the game will be considered a “no contest” and the team will not receive a loss on their schedule. The school who is able to play will receive a win for playoff seeding purposes. They may schedule a replacement opponent, but the result of the newly scheduled contest must count in the school’s overall record in place of the “COVID-19” win. A school’s overall, regular season record cannot include more than 10 results.
Contests where both teams were unable to play due to COVID-19 are considered "no-contests" and have been removed from the schedules.
