TSSAA: White Station has 3 forfeits


According to the TSSAA website, White Station has forfeited 3 games this season:   Ridgeway, Hamilton and Arlington.  The Spartans forfeited its first game against Ridgeway due to a hazing incident, however the reasons for the Hamilton and Arlington forfeit are unclear. According to a source, White Station has only officially forfeited the Ridgeway and Hamilton game, and not the Arlington game.   The source also indicated that the Hamilton forfeit was unrelated to the hazing incident. 
Even if the Ridgeway and Hamilton games are the only forfeits, this will still make White Station’s playoff push very difficult.  Only the top 2 in each district are guaranteed playoff spots and with losses to Whitehaven and Hamilton, the Spartans (1-4, 0-2) would most likely have to win the rest of their games to get in.

Week 5 Recaps

Briarcrest 41 Arlington 27
Another high profile matchup between two pretty good quarterbacks but it was the ground game of the Saints that earned them the win. Briarcrest rushed for 222 yds in the game and jumped out to a 31-0 lead at the half. Jay Moore led the way with 119 yds and a TD while QB BJ Nagle rushed for 2 TD's and threw for 2 TD's as well. As you have come to expect from Arlington, big time numbers from the quarterback position only this time it wasn't Drew Reed. Reed suffered a broken collarbone and is expected to miss around 6 weeks and JR QB Hunter Sheffield stepped up in a big way. Sheffield finished 27-42 for 308 yds and 2 TD's. Arlington SR WR Justin Boring threw a TD pass and caught 11 passes for 155 yds and a TD in the loss. Briarcrest is now 6-0 and will play ECS next. Arlington is 4-2 and will play Craigmont next.
