TSSAA lifts suspension of Ridgeway football team after review

The TSSAA overturned Ridgeway football's team-wide ejection from an Oct. 9 game against Fayette-Ware following a review of incident footage. The altercation occurred in the second quarter, leading to the ejection. However, the TSSAA upheld the suspensions of 10 players who left the bench, and the program faces a $750 fine and a year-long probation period. Ridgeway, currently winless at 0-7, still remains eligible for the playoffs despite the sanctions. The team will play Craigmont on Oct. 16, with enough players available to participate.
