Union City, Tenn.–Tickets for Friday night’s Class 2A state playoff football game between Union City and Westview can be purchased both online and at the gate.
Advance tickets for the game will be sold via the GoFan digital ticket platform (https://gofan.co/tssaa) for $8 each (plus fees). Physical tickets will be available at the gate for $10 apiece.
Kickoff for the second-round contest is set for 7 p.m. at UT Martin’s Graham Stadium.
The game will match a pair of nine-win teams and will be a rematch of a regular season contest won by the Chargers.
Westview – the defending state champions – will enter the game having won nine straight after an 0-2 start and was ranked No. 4 in the final Associated Press poll.
The Chargers are in the playoffs for the 27th time in program history and have posted a 34-25 record all-time in the postseason.
Union City, fresh off a convincing 48-12 Round 1 victory over ninth-ranked Freedom Prep in Round 1, was listed at No. 10 in the final AP rankings.
The Tornadoes have qualified for the playoffs in 31 seasons – including the last 18 in a row. UC owns four state titles (2009, 2013, 2014 and 2017) and finished as runners-up in 1997, 2000 and 2005.
UC’s all-time playoff record is 53-26.
The Union City-Westview winner will take on the victor of the Huntingdon-Fairley matchup in the state quarterfinals next week.
