In non-region play, FRA hosts East Nashville in another battle of 5-0 teams. This will be a step up in competition for the Eagles, as FRA has blowout wins over the Webb School and Franklin so far in 2023.

Centennial's Kani Johnson's crazy catch helps Cougars win in final seconds
Is this the catch of the year in Middle Tennessee, given the situation? In a 14-all game, Kani Johnson makes a tremendous catch in the final seconds for Centennial.
It was tight, but the slowed-down video shows that Johnson got his right foot down just before his hand touches out of bounds.
Seconds later, Centennial kicks the game-winning field goal to win 17-14 and move to 6-0.
Drilled. @CHSCougarsFB 17, @wcsNHSpd 14. 4 secs left pic.twitter.com/3c4VXtbTNU

Brentwood Academy falls to 1-5 after narrow loss at Baylor
We could watch Brentwood Academy and Baylor play 10 more times, given the two classics last year and this tight game.
Brentwood Academy drives inside the Baylor 20-yard line in the final minute, but MacIntyre throws high and wide on 4th and 2 to turn the ball over on downs.
BA played better tonight, especially defensively, but the Eagles are now 1-5.
Brentwood Academy trying to complete comeback at Baylor
Brentwood Academy had a chance to take the lead early in the fourth quarter, but settled for a field goal in the red zone to tie the game at 24. Baylor scored a TD on the next drive, and the Red Raiders led 31-24 with 5:50 left.
Now MacIntyre and the BA offense have the ball.

FRA senior running back Ty Clark III sprints into the end zone for a game-tying touchdown, midway through the second quarter against East Nashville.
This has turned into an entertaining non-region, public vs. private school game in Week 6.

When @TyClarkIII gets a hole like that, he’s always liable to score. Longest run of the game for the @FRAPantherFB senior and it ties the game at 21, 7:36 before halftime. #tnpreps pic.twitter.com/7u97Bma5IE
