It’s Fall Break and that means an abbreviated high school football schedule this weekend. Ensworth and Hillwood have the week off but Nashville Christian and CPA each have challenging road games.
NASHVILLE CHRISTIAN (7-0) AT JACKSON CHRISTIAN (3-4)
When Nashville Christian visits Jackson Christian it will be the Eagles fifth road game in six weeks.
The Eagles’ flare for drama continued last weekend as they remained undefeated with a 28-27 overtime victory at Fayette Academy. Matt McClary passed for 170 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Running back Dakota Owens rushed for 91 yards and a score.
