Scrimmage information has been hard to find this year in the coalfields, 
but here's what I've seen on message boards, newspapers and school web sites
(consider everything subject to change) ... updated 11 pm Sunday
updated 8 pm Thursday   "+" updated 3 am Friday 




NC, KY & TN opens regular season play this weekend; some Tenn. teams play tonight
(which means it's Food City Family Race Night on State Street.  And btw, 
race weekend next year moves back to the traditional last weekend of August.)
