Week 10 brought a major shakeup to the Main Street Preps Top 25 football poll.
Lipscomb Academy (previously No. 9) and Independence (previously No. 10) pulled off upset victories to catapult to No. 3 and No. 4 in the rankings, respectively.
The Mustangs held off CPA 20-14 to clinch the Division II-AA Middle Region title. It was Lipscomb Academy’s first win over the Lions since 2010.
Jaxson Campbell ran for two scores and threw for another to power Independence over Brentwood 26-21. The Eagles have a chance to take the Region 6-6A crown with a win over Ravenwood this week.
Smyrna (7-3) also reentered the rankings after beating La Vergne 35-28 to move closer to locking up the Region 5-6A title. The Bulldogs can clinch the No. 1 seed by defeating Stewarts Creek on Friday.
