Highlights include Cannon Co.

At Walker Valley, Bradley Co.

At Farragut, Knox Central at Cleveland, Brainerd at Hixson, and the Ribwrecker Play of the Week.

Coach drew akins is a good dancer, but he can 'do the hustle'.

After karns backed out of their opener with the mustangs at the last minute on thursday afternoon, akins quickly hustled up another game before the end of the day against cannon county.

Sadly for akins, it may not be the last time he has to do that.

The world is in the middle of a pandemic after all.

Mustangs lighting up the lions in the second quarter leading it 14-0.

Tucker pope to pass.

Look at the time.

He's waiting out the pandemic apparently.

Pope hooks up with brody swafford for the touchdown.

Nice leaping grab.

Two point try failed so it's 20-0.

Cannon county got into mustangs territory on their next series.

But the ball comes out, and number 40 kallum lowe makes the recovery for walker valley.

Mustangs go to their ground game.

Give to marc rodgers.

Nice hole and nice run for the first down.

Walker valley at the goal line.

Little fuzzy on the hand-off, but heath tanksley gets through the traffic for the touchdown.

That made it 26-0.

And the final 39-0 bradley central making the treck up to farragut.

Three separate lightning delays push the game back to around 9:30.

Admirals waste no time getting on the board - eli purcell turns nothing into something.

He scampers his way down inside the five... that ggets the students fired up.

They stayed hype because the very next play - it's dion williams -bruising his way in between the tackles to get farragut on the board, 7-0... still in the first, just three plays later from midfield - check out this heave from quarterback javin burke to receiver kannon hall...who somehow comes down with it... bradley central ties things up at seven the final 25-21 farragut david crockett at ooltewah mcminn central at mcminn county copper basin at polk county fayetteville at marion cleveland opened their season with a home date against knox central kind of funny they make you social distance on the coin toss, before lining up and hitting each other.

Both teams hoping to find some offense at the end of the rainbow.

Bobcats didn't have to go that far.

Just give the ball to abraham dudley.

He's 5-10, 220-pounds.

Try tackling that in the open field.

No thanks.

Big fella rumbles to the cleveland 40 yard line.

Bobcats get it near the goal line, and they let mr. dudley have the honor.

He bulls his way into the end zone from 12 yards out.

Knox central the 7-0 lead in the first quarter.

Next bobcats series.

It's the snap to liam fortner.

He's going to take it himself.

Blue raiders never touch him as he gets in the end zone.

Two point try failed so it was 13-0 bobcats.

Time for cleveland's offense to get going.

Second quarter and gage kinsey goes up top and dustun thomas goes up top to make a heck of catch inside the ten.

Blue raiders have to settle for a field goal.

And i mean holder gage kinsey gets it down in the nick of time as the kick sails through.

That made it a 13-3 ballgame.

Not enough offense for the blue raiders as they fall 26-16.

Brainerd at hixson.

We join this matchup midway through as the brainerd panthers lead it 21 to 2 the panthers attack early in the second, as xiyeer lattimore connects with diamond bates who shakes a couple hixson defenders before being pushed out.

Next down lattimore drops back and connects with bates again who gets footloose with some fancy footwork and takes this one in for 6 to make it 27 to 2 brainerd the hixson offense keeps sputtering while brainerd is hitting on all cylinders.

Allen ware takes the handoff and breaks through the line and gets down near the 5 yard line 2 plays later, latimore channels houdini as he skirts around the line and waltzes in for another score making it 33 to 2 after a failed p-a-t brainerd goes on to win this one by a score of 39 to 16 bledsoe at whitwell south pitt at sequatchie tennessee teams didn't start practicing in pads until three weeks ago.

But that didn't make any of these players shy away from the big hits on friday night.

Pause for animation brainerd's kentrel green gets taken out by three hixson wildcats.

Take another look.

He's just bowled out of bounds.

However, brainerd went on to win, 39-16 high school football player entrances continue to get more elaborate.

We'll show you how spectacular some can be next on news 12 overtime.
