Playoff Headquarters Purchase Tickets
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 the 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.
Live Streaming Video on NFHS Network
More than half of the 60 playoff games scheduled this Friday will be broadcast live on the NFHS Network at NFHSnetwork.com and through the NFHS Network app. Click the link below for an up-to-date list of all games broadcast on the Network this week.
