Football Game You'd Tell Someone To Attend

I live in KY and my son and I like to get out and see football games.

 

I'm looking for some guidance on what game you would tell someone like me to go see if I wanted to get a true TN high school football experience.

 

I'm not necessarily looking just for the best teams. I'm looking for the best experience. Atmosphere, setting, quality of play, community support, etc.

 

Give me some games to consider.

 

Thanks

If you are closer to middle Tennessee, I suggest the following:

 

October 2:  Brentwood Academy @ Ensworth

 

October 9:  Ensworth @ Montgomery Bell Academy

 

October 30:  Montgomery Bell Academy @ Brentwood Academy.

 

Can't go wrong with any of these games.

Brentwood-Brentwood Academy is a good one also

If I was going to recommend a place to go for an outsider, I'd say go to an Oak Ridge home game. It's always a great atmosphere at Blankenship field. When you go to that little square where the stadium is it's like stepping back in time. On a Friday night almost everybody (atleast it seems that way) in the town makes the pilgrimage to Big Ed's pizza (it's right across from the stadium) and then head on over to the game. I'm a William Blount homer and I have seen lots of local teams play but nothing really comes close to seeing an OR game at Blankenship Field. It's a very unique experience that you won't get anywhere else.

You are correct 91. My favorite pizza and my second favorite high school football stadium.

    • Doe dee doe doe…..hmmmmmmm one of those players can run faster than my lawnmower when I put it in 5th gear turbo.  You can bet the lawnmower on that. 
    • Yeah I am on board and plan on coming down from the Ridge for some home games, great Friday night atmosphere there.  I'm really hoping SC can get them back going and have some success for those fans and community.  
    • Yep I was field level on the scoreboard end throwing ball with Benny when we had that brief lead. Everybody got very excited but it was short lived as Murvil regrouped and went into machine mode. But yeah,  that hit sounded like the crack of a black powder rifle being fire.  I believe Dozier took one like that as a Soph up at Greeneville after on olay block.  
    • Ole Benny boy lol. I forgot about Harder. He was tough as crap. He graduated in ‘09. I went to the OR/Maryville game that year (great game, btw) and he collided with Jacob West (I think was his name) and you could hear it clearly at the top of the visitor bleachers. Man, it was a stick. He could lay some wood son. All those guys were tough, Elliott included.
    • They do have good community support for sure and did when I coached under Z for 4 years. (I was on that staff that turned them around a little from winning 1 game a year to actually being competitive).  Great Kids and Great Community over there.  They have done some good things with the facilities from when i coached too.
