So apparently they won't let BA have video, but they will allow JP2's student version on NFHS to have it. Not exactly the 1080p that BA would've had, for free no less. Or an on-screen clock, for that matter. Oh well. It's 3-0 Pope Prep Q1. I couldn't even get Baylor/MBA to load, so I have that audio going via Hippie Radio's webstream. Ditto at last check as well for CBHS/Briarcrest with the video loading problem.

HALF: McCallie 21, Father Ryan 7

McCallie is up 14-0 on Father Ryan, early Q2. Two drives, two TDs for the Blue Tornado offense out of the gate. FRHS narrowly missed a long FG try on its first possession. Though the Irish just got it back on an interception. It seems NFHS is blocking both BA and MBA from having video in their respective home broadcasts tonight. Unfortunately, if you want to have two NFHS broadcasts going, you need two subscriptions. And it's not exactly seamless to switch between games.

Big win for the Irish tonight. Their ability to pressure MUS QB #7 made a big difference. Good play from the corners as well. Looking ahead to next week, Father Ryan has to find ways to pressure McCallie QB #14. His accuracy on long passes is part of why the Blue Tornado are so difficult to defend. The problem is that McCallie's OL is also very good. I think there are tactical measures to be learned from what Clearwater International did on defense with its LB blitzes early in the game. But it won't be easy. A decisive win for Pope Prep as well tonight. JP2 at Brentwood Academy next Friday intrigues me. It's the only matchup out of the Div. II-AAA quarterfinal games that won't be a rematch from the regular season.

FINAL: Baylor 21, Ensworth 13. II-AAA Quarterfinals E5 Father Ryan at E1 McCallie E3 Pope Prep at W2 Brentwood Academy E6 Baylor at E2 MBA W5 CBHS at W1 Briarcrest

Remember that Christian Brothers took Briarcrest to double overtime in their regular season game. FINAL: CBHS 28, Knox Catholic 24 Really good game in Knoxville from what I saw. CBHS scored a late rushing TD to get the victory.

Pope Prep leads St. Benedict 35-0. There is a horrible loud buzzing sound for the audio on NFHS and it keeps buffering. Baylor is up 14-7 at the half at Ensworth. Christian Brothers has rallied and now lead Knox Catholic 21-17 in Q4. As it looks now... II-AAA Quarterfinals E5 Father Ryan at E1 McCallie E3 Pope Prep at W2 Brentwood Academy E6 Baylor/W3 Ensworth winner at E2 MBA W5 CBHS/E4 Knox Catholic winner at W1 Briarcrest

FINAL: Father Ryan 14, MUS 0

So apparently Father Ryan/MUS kicked off at 6p CDT. FRHS leads at the half 14-0.

Here's the link for Baylor at Ensworth (free broadcast): https://livestream.com/ensworth/events/9922863 I'll have to ditch Catholic vs. CBHS at the top of the hour to watch Father Ryan at MUS, since NFHS only allows one stream per account and there isn't a broadcast for Father Ryan. This is the first playoff game for FRHS to not broadcast, audio-only or otherwise, going back to some point prior to 2009. Luckily, MUS' broadcasts are usually very well done. CBHS missed a field goal on its last possession, and it remains 10-0 Catholic with about four minutes to go in the first half.

This is how it should look, great video quality and well-produced. Good work by the broadcasters as well. End 1st: Knox Catholic 10, CBHS 0.

Christian Brothers at Knoxville Catholic just kicked off. NFHS Network has the broadcast.

First round games: E6 Baylor at W3 Ensworth Rematch from Baylor's 52-28 win in Chattanooga in late August. E5 Father Ryan at W4 MUS Rematch from the 2020 quarterfinals, an Owls victory in Nashville. First time for these teams to play in Memphis since the 2009 semifinals, also a victory by MUS. W6 St. Benedict at E3 Pope Prep A win by St. Benedict would be an upset of monumental proportions. W5 Christian Brothers at E4 Knox Catholic

Ensworth's broadcast looked outstanding tonight. 1080p60. Big rally by Father Ryan to beat a talented Baylor team. EAST Father Ryan 24, Baylor 20 MBA 17, Knox Catholic 10 McCallie had a big lead on Pope Prep at last check WEST Ensworth 30, Briarcrest 22 Brentwood Academy 30, MUS 28 Christian Brothers 56, St. Benedict 21

Imagine complaining about live II-AAA game updates in a thread about II-AAA. Especially with that Pope Prep/Ravenwood game that had such a wild swing. This is unofficial. WEST The winner of Christian Brothers at St. Benedict will be the West #5 seed. The loser will be the West #6 seed. If Briarcrest and BA win: #1 Briarcrest 5-0, #2 BA 4-1, #3 Ensworth 3-2, #4 MUS 2-3 If Briarcrest and MUS win: #1 Briarcrest 5-0, #2 MUS 3-2, #3 BA 3-2, #4 Ensworth 3-2 This scenario would put three schools at 3-2, each at 1-1 against the other two. MUS with 7 overall wins would get the #2 seed. Reset and BA gets the #3 seed with the head-to-head tiebreaker over Ensworth. This is the best possible scenario for MUS. If Ensworth and BA win: #1 Briarcrest 4-1, #2 BA 4-1, #3 Ensworth 4-1, #4 MUS 2-3 Three-way tie at 4-1 in this scenario. Briarcrest with 9 wins (5-0 in non-region play) would get the tiebreaker. Reset and BA is the #2 seed with the head-to-head over Ensworth. In other words, BA can ruin Ensworth's shot at the #1 seed and a first-round bye no matter what if BA wins at MUS. If Ensworth and MUS win: #1 Ensworth 4-1, #2 Briarcrest 4-1, #3 MUS 3-2, #4 BA 3-2 This is the only scenario where Briarcrest isn't the #1 seed, with Ensworth winning on the heads-up tiebreaker. Likewise, MUS would get the #3 seed ahead of BA based on the head-to-head. EAST The East is more complicated and I'll let someone else handle that. McCallie has clinched the #1 seed. The loser of the Baylor at Father Ryan game will be the East #6 seed.

WEST 4-0 (9-0) Briarcrest (at Ensworth) 3-1 (6-3) Ensworth (vs. Briarcrest) 3-1 (6-3) BA (at MUS) 2-2 (6-3) MUS (vs. BA) 0-4 (5-4) Christian Brothers (at St. Benedict) 0-2 (0-7) St. Benedict (vs. CBHS) EAST 4-0 (9-0) McCallie (at Pope) 3-1 (6-3) MBA (at Knox) 2-2 (6-3) Pope Prep (vs. McCallie) 2-2 (5-3) Knox Catholic (vs. MBA) 1-3 (6-3) Baylor (at FRHS) 0-4 (5-4) Father Ryan (vs. Baylor) Don't dismiss Christian Brothers. They beat an 8-0 Memphis Central team tonight.

Lipscomb throwing deep up 31-0 in the fourth quarter vs. CPA is going to be a talking point for some on the Div. II-AA side. FINAL- Ravenwood 56, Pope Prep 28 FINAL- CBHS 42, Memphis Central 28 Q4 9:57- Lipscomb 31, CPA 0
