KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — It's time for high school football in East Tennessee!
So far, the six teams that have participated since Aug. 23 have raised more than $5,421 and collected more than 1,300 pounds of food.
Join WBIR 10News every week during the evening each season starting at 4 p.m. for 10Tailgate! We'll be visiting different schools each Friday to feature all the hype before the most anticipated football matchups of the week in East Tennessee on Channel 10 and WBIR's steaming service, WBIR 10+.
On top of competing on the football field, schools featured on 10Tailgate will also be competing off the field to raise money for a good cause. Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee is holding a Tackling Hunger food drive between the two featured schools each week.
In Week 4, the Austin-East Roadrunners will compete against the Gatlinburg-Pittman Highlanders. You can support your team by donating on their Second Harvest Tackling Hunger page in the links below starting on Monday, Sept. 9 through Saturday, Sept. 14:
