Grace Academy quarterback Cade Tinsley, with ball, will try to help the Eagles extend their winning streak to four games with a win tonight against King’s Academy.SILVERDALE BAPTIST ACADEMY SEAHAWKS (3-3, 0-2) at NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH (5-1, 3-0)
Storyline: This is the first of a stretch of three games that will determine whether Notre Dame repeats as the Division II-AA East Region champion. The Fighting Irish have Knoxville Grace and Chattanooga Christian, other teams still alive in the region title race, looming the next two weeks. But they can’t afford to overlook Silverdale, a dangerous team that can use its ball-control offense to limit the number of touches the dangerous Irish offense is afforded.
EAST HAMILTON HURRICANES (3-4, 2-1) at HIXSON WILDCATS (0-5, 0-2)
Storyline: With state-ranked Anderson County coming up next, the Hurricanes need to take care of business tonight and again in the regular-season finale against Howard to secure a playoff berth out of Region 2-4A. Aiden Holt and Carson Tatum, who has nine tackles for loss this season, lead a stingy defense for East Hamilton, which has held five opponents to 14 or fewer points. Hixson is looking to snap a 17-game losing skid.
