No. the last time MBA beat Ensworth was in September of 2010. Until this year, MBA had not scored many points against Ensworth and MBA should have won the first game but failed to go for two to win and then botched a play call and incurred a delay of game penalty on the Ensworth two yard line to win. MBA has its best team in years and if they are ever going to beat Ensworth, it is now. However to beat Ensworth, you have to beat them up physically-this is the constant thread running through every Ensworth loss over the last five years and there have been very few. I do not believe that MBA can physically whip them and they will lose.

There needs to be an opening at Brentwood Academy as the present coach is unable to excel with superior talent.

It is the best balanced league in ten years or more and that has been good to see-yes anyone can win but Ensworth will win it all because they have the best athletes and are the best coached week in and week out. BA is hit or miss and MBA has not beat Ensworth since the fall of 2010. As much as I hate to say it, they will not beat them if they play again as Ensworth will fix what went wrong in the first game and MBA will not be able to adapt.

I agree with the poll but it will change here soon.....If only BlueMom was around to see her McCallie boys play this well........she was a frequent poster in her day

I agree with you here. Ensworth had a chance to put MBA away and did not....they were sloppy and uninspired. MBA then came back and should have won....their coach could have gone for two for the win and chose to tie the game. He then lost the game by waiting too late to send in a play when MBA had third and goal on the Ensworth one yard line. Delay of game was called and then a sack. then curtains.

I agree. Ryan should get a bump. And a better Ryan team is good for the league.

There is not much new this year as Ensworth and BA are the best teams right now.....Baylor is a long, long distant third. Ryan has a chance to move up to the third spot as they played BA tough but they need to progress. MBA is average and had Baylor beat but could not close the deal.

He was one of the best and toughest linebackers to play in the 70's.

I sure hope so but we will have to wait and see. They have been very bad for a long time and a turnaround would be a great addition to the league. BA really hit a hornet's nest.

No more Carell money until this coach is gone.

Nice work-makes things easy

Wes- I watched the rerun of the broadcast on You Tube. You did a great job and added so much more information about the players from both teams that we never get from any of the radio guys on any of the teams. You were prepared and impressive...they need to give you a color guy where you can slow down. On the other hand, the game was one of the best I have seen in this division in six years. I knew that BA was getting gashed with the pass this year and they will not forget this one and the coverage mistakes they made to a fine MUS team. CJ will get better on the corner which he does not play as well as he does at receiver. I was surprised that BA did not get the ball to him on screens or short passes with open space around him...that is where he is best.

I made the drive to watch this one in person. Ensworth had the better team. Bowers played very well and the MUS QB did not have his best night...was hurried alot and ball was floating high and away on the sideline passes. The Ensworth defense was really good and the defensive scheme to pressure MUS passing made the difference. Although the score was close, it just did not seem that the game was close. I was on the MUS side and it just seemed that they were in an out of body experience and could not get rolling in the second half. MUS played tough and is no doubt the second best team in 2-AA.

Line started at Ensworth favored by 6 1/2. It has moved to Ensworth favored by 10 1/2.

I missed this game and am really eager to get to watch it. I felt, as did Meritage, that BA had played its best ball earlier this year and the defensive backs had been getting gashed which would mean real trouble at MUS. Most people felt that the bell would toll on BA and that made MUS spread go to 6 1/2 night before the game.
