FLOWERY BRANCH - Flowery Branch High School Athletic Director Shannon Benton has announced that this Friday's first-round football playoff game between the Falcons and Ridgeland High has been moved to Finley Stadium in Chattanooga, Tenn.
The move was made due to poor field conditions at Ridgeland's home stadium.
Finley Stadium is the home of the NCAA FCS (formerly I-AA) national championship game.
Flowery Branch (7-3) is the fourth seed from Region 7-AAA, taking on Region 6-AAA champions Ridgeland (9-1). The two teams also faced off last season, with the Falcons taking a 21-14 win in the second round of the Class AAA playoffs en route to a state championship game appearance.
