Here are the top five surprising results from this past week’s high school football action in the Greater Chattanooga area that caught the attention of the Times Free Press staff:
1. Seahawks soaring: Last season the Silverdale Baptist football team wore question marks on T-shirts through the preseason as they were building a new identity after the departure of a program-changing senior class that had delivered 17 wins over its final two seasons.
A year later, the Seahawks have certainly found their identity and played to their strengths.
The sophomore quarterback-receiver duo of Connor Jenne and Cannon Rogers has blasted off of late and were the leading forces in a 44-22 Division II-AA region road upset of previously unbeaten and fourth-ranked Knox Grace this past Friday.
