Follow the TSSAA football playoffs and girls’ state soccer tournament at TSSAAsports.com
October 27, 2021
The curtain falls on the 2021 regular season this week, as the final 170 football games of the season are set to be played Thursday and Friday across the state. Following the completion of the Friday night contests, the TSSAA state office staff will assemble the 2021 playoff brackets and publish those on TSSAAsports.com when completed.
Over the course of the season, 86 “COVID-19 wins” were awarded in instances where one team could not play a scheduled game due to the virus and the remaining team was not able to schedule a different opponent. TSSAA staff members logged about 160 schedule changes since July 30. All changes to the schedules were monitored to track the games canceled, added or rescheduled over the previous three months.
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.
