“I haven’t seen anything on them yet,” Anderson County Head Coach Davey Gillum said Friday night after beating Scott High.

“Our objective is to go in there and play. I would think, just looking at scores, if we play clean football and do the things, we can we’ll get through that one, and beyond that we’ll probably have Elizabethton.”

Elizabethton finished the season 5-4 and was runner-up in Region 1-4A behind Greeneville.

The Cyclones host Carter Friday night.

In other first-round matchups, two 6-4 teams will meet when Gibbs High School hosts Grainger.
