All week long, the coaches emphasized that this game would be a true "dogfight." The impact of Hurricane Helene, which brought high winds and rain through the South, only heightened the stakes. The only goal was coming out of Nashville with a win. Mission accomplished.

Final Score: Baylor 7, Brentwood Academy 6

The game's only touchdown for Baylor came just before halftime when Shekai Mills-Knight powered through on a 4th-down run at the goal line, leaving just 32 seconds on the clock. "I knew I had to make that play," Shekai said, reflecting on his crucial run. He finished the night with 17 rushes for 90 yards, but it was the one-two punch of David Gabriel-Georges, who had 13 rushes for 110 yards, that kept the offense moving. Baylor only attempted 6 passes all night, with Briggs Cherry completing half of those, as the weather played a significant factor.

The real stars of the night were the Baylor defense, which held Brentwood Academy to just 3 points in each half, applying relentless pressure and refusing to give an inch. "Our defense made key plays in crucial moments tonight and I'm really proud of our effort as a unit", said Coach Brown.

With this victory, Baylor now sets its sights on a showdown with McCallie this week. Baylor comes into the game undefeated, while the Blue has only one loss this season. As we know, records won't matter in this rivalry. It's going to be a thrilling game!

Get ready, Chattanooga! Spirit Week is here!
