Who's up and who's down

You might not recognize the power rankings this week after a busy last week rearranged the teams a whole lot. We'll tackle that and more in this week's report.

Rocket Boost

Brentwood not only got the result it was looking for last game, but the team outscored its opponent Marshall County in every quarter. Brentwood picked up a decisive 'W' against Marshall County, finishing up at 49 - 7. Brentwood's margin of victory (42 points) marked the biggest win the team has had all season. Its success was rewarded with a seven boost in the power rankings, the biggest improvement of any team.

Big Showdown

It was a battle of top-notch squads when Oakland (2nd in the power rankings) took on Cookeville (13th) last week. Oakland took its game against Cookeville by a confident 35 - 14 score. Oakland made sure to walk the walk to justify being talked up as the big favorite.

This Week's Top Game

On paper, the match between Brentwood Academy (1st in the power rankings) and Montgomery Bell Academy (5th) looked as though it might be one of the more compelling ones, but things did not play out that way on the field. Brentwood Academy kept its opponent Montgomery Bell Academy off the scoreboard entirely, winning the match 29 - 0. The power rankings were completely indifferent to the match, so neither team moved up or down this week.

Upcoming Drama

If you are itching to watch a first-rate contest, no game is supposed to fit the bill better than the one between Christian Brothers (3rd in the power rankings) and Ensworth (11th). The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.given their high-scoring efforts against their previous opponents, we'll see how far they can run the score up this week
