Week 3 has come and gone and now we’re looking ahead to Week 4. Three weeks into the season we’ve got a good idea on who the contenders and the pretenders are.
Heading into the fourth week of the season, most of our top area teams have started to set themselves apart.
The 615 Preps staff has put together a list of the top five large, medium, and small class teams in our coverage area following last week’s action.
Large Class teams include 6A and Division II-AAA. Medium Class teams include 5A, 4A, and Division II-AA. Small Class teams include 3A, 2A, 1A, and Division II-A, and each grouping has roughly 30 teams in it.
DRAFTS: Top Coaches / Top Stadiums / Top Uniforms
Large Class
1. Oakland (3-0): The Patriots trailed by one midway through the first quarter before rattling off 43 straight in their 49-6 win over Haywood. Kyler Creasy had a career day with four touchdown passes. Up next: vs. Antioch (3-0)
2. Ravenwood (3-0): Blackman gave the Raptors all they could handle but Ravenwood was able to pull out the 14-7 win thanks to a late touchdown pass from Femi Babaloa. Up next: vs. Smyrna (1-2)
3. Ensworth (3-0): Another week, another blowout win for the Tigers. With a 48-0 win over Osceola (Ark.), Ensworth’s won its first three games by an average of 34.7 points. Up next: vs. Trezevant (0-2)
4. Mt. Juliet (3-0): The Golden Bears are unbeaten but had their best showing of the season on Friday in a 27-0 win over Gallatin. Mt. Juliet limited the Green Wave to less than 100 total yards of offense to kick off region play. Up next: vs. Warren County (0-3)
5. Antioch (3-0): Don’t look now but the Bears are unbeaten going into a huge matchup with a perennial powerhouse. Andre Adams and co. had no issues dispatching Cane Ridge 40-6. Up next: vs. Oakland (3-0)
Dropped out: None. Who just missed out: Green Hill (3-0), MBA (2-1)
Medium Class
1. Page (3-0): Make it three straight shutouts for the Patriots. Their offense may not have been clicking but Page did enough on the defensive side of the ball to secure the 14-0 win over Franklin. Up next: at LaVergne (0-3)
2. CPA (3-0): No close game for the Lions this week. They dominated Pope John Paul II en route to a 42-9 win. Up next: at MBA (2-1)
3. BGA (3-0): For the first time since 2019, the Wildcats are 3-0. Bobby Bentley’s squad didn’t put up 60 this week but did pick up an impressive 35-28 win over Nashville Christian. Up next: vs. Davidson Academy (2-1)
4. Macon County (2-1): The Tigers looked to be well on their way to a bigIwin over Upperman after leading by multiple scores early on. That was not meant to be as the Bees rallied, took the lead and a missed PAT resulted in a 35-34 loss for the Tigers. Up next: at Smith County (0-3)
5. Beech (2-1): Their offense may still be struggling but in a torrential downpour, the Bucs didn’t need it to be great. They did enough to beat Riverdale 7-0 and get back in the win column. Up next: at Portland (2-1)
Dropped out: None. Who just missed out: FRA (3-0), Pearl-Cohn (1-2)
Small Class
1. East Nashville (3-0): They may have been the smaller class school against Overton but that didn’t matter. The Eagles crushed the Bobcats 49-7. Up next: vs. Maplewood (1-2)
2. East Robertson (3-0): East Robertson’s region-opener was nearly a disaster as they trailed midway through the fourth. A pair of touchdowns over the final six minutes propelled the Indians to a 22-15 win over Monterey. Up next: vs. Sycamore (2-1)
3. Gordonsville (3-0): The Bryson Grisham show continued into the Tigers’ 41-0 win over Trousdale County. He finished the night with four rushing touchdowns and five overall. Up next: vs. Jo Byrns (1-2)
4. Nashville Christian (2-1): They came up short against BGA but Jared Curtis solidified his spoty as the state’s top 2026 player. Up next: Off
5. DCA (3-0): Tennessee Heat gave the Wildcats all they could handle for a bit. The game was tied at 14 before DCA broke it open and cruised to the 56-21 win. Up next: Thursday at PCA (2-1)
Dropped out: None. Who just missed out: Fairview (2-1), Westmoreland (2-1)
