Its playoff time in Tennessee! Throw all the records out and start a brand new season Friday night as all three county football teams take to the gridiron for first round Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) playoff games. TIGERS The fifth-ranked Marshall County Tigers continued to make a bold statement last week when they traveled to Rudderville where they pasted Page 51-0 to capture back-to-back Region 4/4A crowns.

The FMS hoopsters traveled to Unionville Tuesday night and came away with a clean sweep over Community as the girls remained undefeated and the boys broke a five-game losing streak. The Lady Rockets (8-0) were tested early by the Viqueens, who led 6-5 before a rebound and put-back by Angela Jett, followed by a basket by Carissa Curtis that gave FMS a 9-6 lead after the first quarter.
