Greeneville High School and West Greene High will continue their football season after the TSSAA announced brackets for the post-season playoffs Saturday morning.

The Greene Devils, champions of District 2-2A, will be in the Class 4A playoffs and will play at home Friday night to Chattanooga Central (5-5).

West Greene will be in the Class 3A playoffs and will go on the road Friday night to play Sullivan North in Kingsport.

South Greene was a "bubble team" for an at-large berth but did not make the field. Cumberland Gap made the field in Class 3A and will play at Elizabethton, while Claiborne made the Class 4A bracket and will be at home to Chattanooga Brainerd.

"We did not expect to play a Chattanooga team in the first round," GHS Coach Caine Ballard said this morning. "When the bracket was first drawn, we had Gibbs, and that made sense to us. But then they re-drew the thing, and we wound up with a Chattanooga team. In fact they put four Chattanooga teams in our quadrant, which doesn't really make a lot of sense to me."

Ballard said Chattanooga Central is a good football team.

"It was 0-0 between them and Red Bank at the half," he said. "The Chattanooga area just has much better football than upper East Tennessee. They are very big, very athletic and we face a very big challenge."

West Greene coach Joe Case said the Buffs are looking forward to their opportunity.

"We're excited about making the playoffs for the second year in a row," Case said. "We were hoping for a home game, but I'm not complaining about how it worked out. We scrimmaged Sullivan North in preseason and they have a very physical football team. It's a great opportunity for us."
