The single-A Tornadoes will host the Cardinals on Thursday after returning home from four days’ worth of camp workouts at Columbia.
Both Obion Central and South Fulton will also scrimmage to conclude their respective first week in full-pads.
The Rebels (4A) will welcome highly-touted Class 5A foe Henry County Friday night for a 7 o’clock session.
