Fall Break is here meaning several area teams were off last week.
However, some big games still went down including a game of the year candidate Thursday night.
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. This rankings are based off of results, head-to-head matchups and current form for teams.
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.
Large Class
1. Oakland (7-0): The Patriots were off Week 8.
2. Brentwood Academy (7-0): For the first time this season the Eagles faced some adversity. They traveled to Briarcrest Christian and in a nip-and-tuck game from the jump, they held on for a 34-31 win.
3. Ravenwood (7-0): The Raptors were off Week 8.
4. Antioch (8-0): What else is there left to say about Andre Adams and Brandon Goliday? In the program’s biggest win ever, the duo combined 12 times for 245 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Bears past FRA 64-62.
5. Ensworth (6-2): EJ Gibson had himself a night to remember in what’s been a massive junior season. He ran for 175 yards and three touchdowns on 23 carries as the Tigers held off CPA 28-21.
