* Baylor: Michael O’Connor completed 14 passes for 178 yards, but the Red Raiders were slammed 42-17 by unbeaten Ensworth.
* Bledsoe County: Holden Boynton again was the Warriors’ workhorse, carrying the ball 22 times for 113 yards, but they suffered their first District 7-AA loss at Notre Dame, 31-7.
* Brainerd: If not for sack yardage, quarterback Sam Caffey would’ve had a 100-yard rushing night. As it was, he finished with 50 yards on 13 carries and also had a 57-yard scoring reception on a halfback pass from Ashante McGruder.
* Boyd-Buchanan: Jim Cardwell ran for 109 yards and two TDs on six carries and didn’t have a single misfire in seven passing attempts for another 95 yards as the Buccaneers pounced Grace Academy 37-7 and improved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in District 5-AA.
