Baylor School dominated Brentwood Academy in a nationally televised season-opening matchup on August 20, defeating the Eagles 38-20 in a rematch of last year’s state championship game. The contest featured seven Power 4 commits competing at the highest level of Tennessee high school football.
Five-star running back David Gabriel Georges, a Tennessee football commit, proved to be the difference-maker for Baylor, particularly in the second half. Georges accumulated 172 rushing yards and 78 receiving yards while scoring three touchdowns after halftime. His fourth-quarter performance was instrumental in securing the victory, as he scored twice during critical drives that sealed the game.
Brentwood Academy linebacker Kenneth Simon II acknowledged the challenge of containing Georges, noting that the running back’s physical abilities made him difficult to bring down. Simon explained that his team missed several tackle opportunities and struggled to keep Georges’ feet stopped when making contact. Despite the defensive efforts, Georges consistently broke free and advanced the ball, demonstrating the elite athleticism that has made him a highly sought recruit.
Both programs appear positioned for another state championship matchup later in the season. Brentwood Academy will look to implement adjustments based on this season-opening loss, while Baylor seeks to build momentum from its impressive offensive showcase. The two teams may meet again in December’s Division II-AAA state final.
