Summer is here and the Times Free Press Best of Preps awards banquet is behind us, which makes this the perfect time to turn our attention to football.
Prep football, to be specific.
The Chattanooga area’s high school teams have completed winter workouts, gone through spring drills and competed in local and, in some cases, regional 7-on-7 events.
The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association and the Georgia High School Athletic Association both have dead periods each summer when no athletic activities can take place. The GHSA already had its first dead period the week of Memorial Day and will have a second one the week of July 4; for TSSAA schools, the dead period is two consecutive weeks starting Monday.
All in all, it’s a great time to consider where teams stand just a few weeks from the start of training camp.
