One day after being named a Tennessee Titans Mr. Football semifinalist, Meigs County senior quarterback Kaiden Brewster showed why he’s considered one of the top overall players in TSSAA Class 3A.
Brewster totaled 317 yards of offense and four touchdowns to lead the second-ranked Tigers to a convincing 43-6 win over visiting Chuckey-Doak in the opening round of the state playoffs Friday night.
Meigs County (11-0), a No. 1 seed as the Region 2 champion, moves on to the second round after scoring 23 first-quarter points and racing to a 37-0 lead over the fourth-seeded Black Knights (5-6) by halftime.
Brewster was 8-of-10 passing for 168 yards and two touchdowns — both covering at least 47 yards — and ran six times for 149 yards and two scores, with one of those covering 37 yards.
The Tigers, who rolled up 496 yards of offense (321 rushing) will host second-seeded Giles County (7-3) in next week’s second round. Giles had a first-round bye due to Region 3 having only two teams in the playoffs.
