PLAYOFF-BOUND WOLF PACK: The Chattanooga Red Wolves are officially headed to the USL League One playoffs, thanks to a 1-1 draw on Saturday afternoon against the New York Cosmos.
TIDE BACK ON TRACK: #13 Alabama got back in the win column afternoon, holding off Texas A&M for a 31-20 home win. The Crimson Tide dominated the fourth quarter to put away the Aggies, turning a three-point deficit into that 11-point victory.
DO YOU GET DEJA VU?: Williams-Brice Stadium continues to be a house of horrors for the Volunteers. #11 Tennessee fell in heartbreaking fashion to South Carolina on Saturday afternoon, 27-24. The Gamecocks scored 10 unanswered points to close out the game.
culloWHEEEEE: The Mocs had lost four straight games to Western Carolina by a combined 16 points. On Saturday, Chattanooga completely flipped the script, exploding for 31 points in the second half to beat the Catamounts, 41-18.

It's a Pink Out 🩷 tonight at @SMMHSEagles for Breast Cancer Awareness month.
One of their own in Stephanie Layne is currently battling the disease. Thanks to the support she's getting from the Signal Mtn. community, the sickness doesn't stand a chance!

The legend in Coach Mark Mariakis made it official on Friday Morning Football.
He has @SMMHSFootball in an upset tonight at home. If tonight's environment is anything close to this morning, it's going to be a memorable Pink Out game!

TIME TO TURN THE TIDE: Fresh off their bye-week, the Mocs are back in action this weekend and looking to face their demons in Cullowhee. Chattanooga has suffered four straight losses to Western Carolina by a combined 16 points.
BACK INSIDE THE DEN: It has been almost two months since Christian Heritage last played a game inside the Lions Den, but that changes on Friday night when Frank Barden's team welcomes in a much-improved Dade County squad.
WOLVERINES LOOKING TO POUNCE: A year ago, Dade County was 2-8 and missed out on the playoffs for the first time since 2020. Now, the Wolverines are a game over .500, winners of four of their last five and fighting for a region crown.
SUNDAY CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH: Chattanooga FC’s MLS NEXT Pro Eastern Conference semifinals opponent is set. The Boys in Blue will welcome CT United FC to Finley Stadium on Sunday at 5 p.m.

I remember when we first heard of Coach Greene's (@_CoachJGreene) diagnosis in 2025. We heard because the Meigs County community immediately offered countless support.
They haven't let up all these years later. Neither has Coach Greene. 💙

There's truly no place that does Friday Morning Football like Meigs County.
The energy, the signs, the shirts, and even the chants (maybe I'm biased here 😎). We decided to come back here for a reason and we already can't wait to return!

FMF3 ➡️ MEIGS COUNTY: Our award-winning crew returns to Decatur ahead of senior night festivities. The Meigs County crowd was one of our best in 2025. We expect 2026 to be even better!

This week feels like we're going home.
We were bound to return to a school we went to in 2025. We decided to break the ice with one of the best as @MeigsCountyFB has the town jumpin' with their 7-0 record.

A @BCwarriorFB win all but assures there will be playoff football in Pikeville in 2026. @BuzzCityTN is holding onto hope for postseason ball in Coalmont, but they NEED this victory.
