Rocky Top is a Bandits tradition!
The Bandits take their show on the road every year after our league post season is complete. The Battle in Rocky Top is the biggest national youth football tournament boasting on average 250 teams from several states. Our first year was 2013 when we took 1 division. We now take the entire program and have had much success both on and off the field.
