For the third straight time this season, the top ranked team in the state has fallen into the jaws of the red hot Tigers. This time the Red Raiders were the victims of another upset on their own field on Senior Night. I apologize for the late recap, had a test the next morning.
Baylor took an early 3-0 lead to open up the game. Andy Priddy hit a 34 yard field goal that would give the Red Raiders their only lead of the night.
Next possession, Ensworth drove the ball down to the Baylor 30 yard-line after having been closer but they were backed up by a series of penalties. That didn't keep Corn out of the end zone, he took a screen pass in for his first of 4 TDs for the night.
Baylor would respond with a 70 yard drive led by Chattanooga commit, QB Jacob Huesman. He would cap the drive with a 10 yard TD run. He would run for 84 yards and pass for 146. In addition, he scored all of Baylor's 4 TDs but Huesman seemed to be all of Baylor's offense.
Tigers answered spontaneously. The speedy sophomore (I'm running out of names at this point) Corn Elder flew by the secondary for a 80 yard TD run on the first play of the drive. Corn came out of the game for a while but returned in the second half. The Tigers would go into the half with a 14-10 lead.
Without Corn for a few plays Nantambu Fentress decided to take full advantage of his 4 carries. He took his first carry 80 yards to the house. Extending the lead to 21-10.
Huesman scored his 2nd TD on a 2 yard run and Ensworth answered again, this time through the air. Drew Parker hit David Dingess for a 51 yard TD. Dingess had 4 rec for 77 yards, Cory Batey led EHS with 5 rec for 96 yards.
Huesman scored again from 2 yards out, Baylor got the ball back but was forced to punt to Corn Elder. Guess what happened? 70 yard return, EHS up 35-23.
In the 4th quarter Huesman did his best elder impression and ran 61 yards for his final TD. Elder did his best Huesman impression with a 63 yard run 7 minutes later. Ensworth finnished the game with 575 yards of total offense, 336 came on the ground.
Ensworth will finnish the regular season at BGA next Friday.
