The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Eagles' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Tennessee football rankings (they are ranked fifth, while the Rams are ranked 38th).
Nashville Christian's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but TJ Ward led the charge by rushing for 125 yards and two TDs, while also picking up 71 receiving yards.
