Again it was a beautiful, chilly night in Franklin. Ensworth looked to extend their winning streak to 7 straight games and come away with the number one seed in the DII AA playoffs. While BGA hoped to better their seed and come away with a win on Senior Day; no such luck for the Wildcats.
In the first 1:13 of the game their were 4 turnovers. BGA fumbled the opening kickoff, Drew Parker threw an interception, Corn Elder picked off CJ Beathard, and Drew Parker fumbled. After that sequence, BGA ended up with ball at the EHS 35 yard line and drove to the goal line where RB Blake Thomson scored the first Wildcat TD.
Now, there has been a trend that has begun to develop after long scoring drives by the Tiger's opponents. After Quinn Hamilton brought the ensuing kickoff to the 19, Corn Elder went 81 yards for the score.
BGA's Keenan Bass answered with a 20 yard TD of his own. Bass would later leave the game with an injury in the 4th quarter.
The trend continued, Quinn Hamilton took the ensuing kickoff 87 yards for a TD, tying the game at 14-14.
To start the 2nd quarter the Tigers went 90 yards in 1:22. Corn Elder scored his 2nd TD of the night on a 22 yard run, Clayton McGlasson's PAT was no good. But McGlasson would add a 35 yard FG before halftime. Ensworth would lead 23-14 at the half.
The second half was all about Corn Elder and the Ensworth defense. Corn busted out for TD runs of 30 and 63 yards in the third quarter. He would finnish the night with 240 yards on only 11 carries with 4 TDs.
The Tiger defense blanked the Wildcats in the second half. Junior Keshonn Carter put a big hit on CJ Beathard and since then Beathard could not seem to get in a rhythm.
After 13 plays in the red zone BGA came away empty in the 4th quarter.
Ensworth will play the winner of MBA vs Father Ryan November 12th as the number one seed at home.
