Although the regular area football seasons will be ending soon, Finley Stadium won’t be empty for long.
The field will see more football this year with the addition of the state TSSAA title games – nine in total. This is the first time the championships will be held in Chattanooga.

With this being our first year, we’re going to learn a lot, but it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
