TN Boy's soccer is in the spring. I spoke to an older gentleman who was "there" when TN "recognized" Soccer as an sanctioned sport. Soccer had been a High School "club" sport. They had played in the spring so that the "athletes" did not have to choose between American Football and Soccer. When the sport became sanctioned the state office just followed the existing tradition.

Regarding what states play when? In looking a different High School "polls" it appears that ~16 / ~18 states play Boy's soccer in the spring.
