Week eleven features some of the biggest high school football games in the region as prepared by the TSSAA to create a competitive and entertaining balance heading into the postseason. Week eleven was also split into two days as many games were played on Thursday including North Greene and Chuckey-Doak both in region action.
North Greene would secure their fourth win of the season by defeating Cosby 21-7. With the win, North Greene will secure the No. 3 seed in the playoffs where they’ll travel to Oliver Springs next week. With their fourth win, North Greene finishes the regular season with their best win-loss total since the 2015 season.
In Lower Afton, Chuckey-Doak would play one of the top teams in the state as Gatlinburg-Pittman would come to town and show why they’re a state title threat. The Highlanders would knock off the Black Knights 55-15 to lock up the top seed in the TSSAA postseason set to begin next week. Although the season didn’t end the way the Black Knights intended, Chuckey-Doak will still earn a playoff birth and will travel to Alcoa in the first round of the TSSAA Playoffs on Friday of next week.
Tonight, Greeneville and South Greene will play their respective rivals with the region title on the line. Greeneville will travel to Elizabethton tonight as both times battle for the region crown and top seed in the playoffs.
