Summary

Hunters Lane has forfeited its TSSAA football season opener against Clarksville Academy scheduled for August 21 due to insufficient player availability. The forfeiture stems from late arrivals who were unable to complete the TSSAA's heat acclimation period. Metro Nashville Public Schools district athletic director Mark North expressed optimism that Hunters Lane will field a full team for its Week 2 game against McGavock on August 28. This marks the second forfeiture in the Nashville area this week, as Mt. Juliet Christian Academy also withdrew from its scheduled contest.
