After winning its fourth consecutive Division II-AA East Region football game this past Friday with a 28-0 road victory over Chattanooga Christian, Silverdale Baptist looked to have secured a first-round TSSAA home playoff game.
As the TSSAA playoff brackets were released late Friday night, the Seahawks (6-3) were scheduled to host St. George’s (6-4).
However, Monday evening the host site was swapped. Silverdale will now have to make the 337-mile road trip to Collierville in the Division II-AA state playoffs for an 8 p.m. ET kickoff.
The TSSAA notified both teams on Monday of the error made in the bracket with the following explanation:
“The text printed in the published TSSAA Football Regulations contradicted the 2026 TSSAA Division II Class AA bracket the TSSAA Board of Control approved in January 2025. The approved bracket states that when teams of the same seed play, the team in the top bracket hosts in even years. As a result, St. George’s (West No. 3 top) will host Silverdale Baptist Academy (East No. 3 bottom).”
