The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) Board of Control has scheduled a special meeting to take place on Wednesday, October 30 at 9:30 a.m. CDT. The meeting will address appeals from various schools concerning the status of forfeited football games.

Among the appeals, The Howard School is seeking to secure a forfeit win along with a $2000 fee due to a game that was scheduled with Rhea County High School but did not occur. Lookout Valley High School is appealing against its postseason ban for football from 2024 to 2026, a sanction imposed after forfeiting a regional game to South Pittsburg High School. Similarly, Booker T. Washington High School is challenging its postseason ban for the same period and a $2000 fee, following the forfeiture of a regional game against Westwood.
