Although Baylor School has waylaid most of its opponents this football season, the Red Raiders have not been without their share of injuries.

Unfortunately for Baylor’s opponents, the senior tandem of quarterback Keegan Croucher and running back David Gabriel Georges have stayed healthy. The two were sensational once again Friday night at Heywood Stadium, leading the Red Raiders to a 49-7 crushing of Nashville’s Christ Presbyterian Academy in a TSSAA Division II-AAA quarterfinal.

“It’s been huge,” Baylor fifth-year coach Erik Kimrey said of continually having that duo available for the reigning state champions. “In my opinion, it’s the best backfield in the country. They can erase a multitude of sins.”

Baylor, which improved to 11-0 and won its 23rd straight game dating to the start of last season, will host next Friday’s semifinal against Briarcrest Christian. The Saints broke free from a 14-10 halftime lead Friday in Memphis to rout Montgomery Bell Academy 41-10.
