The highly anticipated start of the high school football season is at hand and 175 contests are scheduled across the state of Tennessee this week.

The TSSAA Board of Control voted to return to the traditional handling of forfeitures and cancellations for the 2022 season. Any contest unable to be played will be considered a “no-contest” for both schools.

Four teams will open the season with region contests as Freedom Prep will be at Manassas and North Greene at Unaka in Week 1.
