Murfreesboro, TN – It’s bigger than Arnold Schwarzanegger in “Terminator” and more raucous than AC/DC bellowing “Back In Black.”
More energizing than Randy Quaid proclaiming “I’m Back” in the classic Americana film, “Independence Day.”
This weekend, across three days in the Scenic City, Chattanooga hosts the 2021 BlueCross Bowl to crown Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association champions through the Volunteer State’s nine classifications.

Murfreesboro, TN – The brightest of bright lights in Americana’s high school sports scene, those of ‘Friday Night Lights’ fame in Odessa, Texas, also are the lights of Michel Sanchez’s hometown.
She’s seen those lights, lived beneath their glare and the shadows they casted – not merely during four quarters of a high school football game but throughout the days, weeks, and months that comprised a season and a cultural phenomenon.
Now executive principal at Cane Ridge High School in Antioch, Sanchez also knows the attention from those pressured settings doesn’t always lend itself to best life lessons.

August 19, 2020
Murfreesboro, TN – The much anticipated start of the high school football season is this week and as many as 120 games will be played during Week 1, five of which will be played on Thursday.
As we all know, “Friday Night Lights” may not look the same this year and it’s important for everyone to do their part as our students return to play. The TSSAA believes that every adult and every participant must do their part and follow the guidelines set forth by the association and conduct themselves safely and thoughtfully so that the schools can provide as many opportunities as possible for the student-athletes this fall.
