After a little debate and push-back, in the end, the Huskies will have week one off after their game against Unaka was officially canceled.

North Greene now finds themselves potentially without a game through September 4 unless they can find a replacement opponent as both Unaka (August 21) and Hancock County (August 28) have canceled on the Huskies.

The Huskies aren't alone in missing some games on the early portion of the schedule. Greeneville will also be off in week one following the cancellation of the Powell game. The Greene Devils will kick-off their season on August 28 against Daniel Boone.

Chuckey-Doak will be able to play in week one as they'll travel to face powerhouse Knoxville Catholic, but week two and three could see the Black Knights without opponents. Already confirmed is the cancellation of the week two game between the Black Knights and Happy Valley and the Johnson County game scheduled on September 4 is in jeopardy due to the Longhorns shutting down football through next week.

Outside of Greene County, other local match-ups canceled for week one include Sullivan South at Daniel Boone, Gatlinburg-Pittman at Hampton and Happy Valley at Cloudland.
