KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - One of the most anticipated high school football games in East Tennessee will not happen this season.

After three hours, the delay never ended. The game was ruled a no contest and will not be made up.
The game was tied at 7 when the delay began.
Alcoa remains 3-0 and will face Austin-East next Friday.
