The contracts have been signed to complete the scheduling for the 2023 and 2024 football seasons. No adjustments were made to the Region 2-6A alignment by the TSSAA so the Admirals will continue to compete with Bearden, Bradley Central, Cleveland, Hardin Valley, and Maryville for a Region Championship the next two years. The TSSAA did however schedule the region calendar in an effort to provide officials at each game every week. In 2023, Cleveland will visit Bill Clabo Field Sept. 1st along with Bradley Central on Sept. 29th. The Admirals will travel to Bearden on Sept. 21st for Rivalry Thursday following an open date, and finish the regular season with two straight road games at Hardin Valley and Maryville on Oct. 20th and 27th.
Coach Courtney and the Admirals’ coaching staff was able to fill in the remainder of the schedule with 5 non-region opponents. Farragut will open the season at home versus Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett on Aug. 18th and will host Powell on Aug. 25th. The Admirals last played Kingsport in 2020 in a Region 1-6A contest. Powell last visited Farragut during the 2016 State Championship season. The Admirals return to West on Sept. 1st to face the defending Class 5A champions before region play begins. Oak Ridge and Jeff County will visit Farragut on Oct. 6th and 13th to close out non-region play. The Wildcats and Admirals have played every year since 1992, but this will be the first October matchup since the two programs were in Region 2-5A in 2008. Jeff County was a first round opponent for the Admirals in 2022 and were region opponents in Region 1-6A from 2017-2020. All told, the Admirals will host 6 home games in 2023 so don’t miss your chance to purchase season tickets when they become available.
