We jus can't drop this very talented McCallie team completely out of the Top 10 after a recent loss to No. 1 team. McCallie looked just fine in a 42-28 rout of Lipscomb Academy last week.

7. Page (10-0)

Junior defensive back Knight Wilson has been a ball hawk this season, intercepting a team-high four passes this fall. Page defeated Nolensville last week 42-0.

8. Alcoa (7-1)

Alcoa's Cade Stinnett (24), Micah Jones (9), and Thomas Manu (18) celebrating after Jones recovered a fumble during the TSSAA high school football game against Maryville on Friday, Oct. 25, 2024, in Maryville. Tenn. / Saul Young/News Sentinel / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images

The Red Rebels dropped their first game of the season in a 24-17 thriller to Alcoa. Maryville ended the regular season with a road win at Farragut.

10. Brentwood Academy (7-3)

Barely falling to Baylor, 7-6 not long ago, has us feeling that Brentwood Academy actually had an argument to move up in these rankings.

11. Houston (8-2)

Marcelles Davis has been the team's workhorse out of the backfield, rushing for well over 1,000 yards and scoring eight touchdowns.

12. Collierville (9-1)

The Dragons lost their first game of the season to Houston, falling 17-13.

13. Riverdale (8-1)

The Warriors had notched impressive seven straight victories, with the latest win being a 30-0 decision over Siegel before falling to Oakland, one of the state's best clubs.

14. Franklin Road Academy (9-1)

The Panthers dropped their first game of the season after a 21-7 loss to Christ Presbyterian Academy a couple weeks ago.

15. Sevier County (10-0)

Cooper Newman just keeps lighting opposing defenses up, with the sophomore quarterback completing an eye-popping 159-of-211 passes for 2,325 yards and 33 touchdowns to zero interceptions.

16. Upperman (10-0)

The Bees remain undefeated and pulled away in a 44-14 victory over DeKalb County. Upperman finishes the regular season undefeated.

17. Lipscomb Academy (3-7)

It's been a trying season for the Mustangs that have played arguably the toughest schedule of any team in the state. The Mustangs had won two straight against Montgomery Bell Academy and Knoxville Catholic. Lipscomb Academy fell 42-28 to McCallie last week.

18. Beech (9-1)

Senior linebacker Gunnar Clary has been superb in the middle of Beech's defense, racking up over 60 tackles, 10-plus for a loss and multiple sacks.

19. Bartlett (6-3)

All three of the Panthers' losses have come against teams ranked in either Tennessee or Mississippi. Latest victory came against previously ranked Germantown.

20. Brentwood (8-2)

Gavyn Nelson has been the team's spark plug on offense, totaling over 500-plus all-purpose yards and nine touchdowns so far this season.

21. Greeneville (8-1)

The Green Devils are coming off a 41-7 thrashing of Elizabethton.

22. Green Hill (10-0)

The Hawks have been one of the darkhorse teams in the state and it's time we recognize them by getting them into the latest rankings. Green Hill has recorded six shutout victories.

23. West (6-3)

We know the Rebels have the three losses on their record. West had another close call against Halls, 28-27 but followed it up with a win over Powell.

24. Powell (8-2)

Powell had run the table up until last week's 30-18 loss to West. Now the Panthers will gear up for a potential postseason run.

25. Marshall County (10-0)

The Tigers finished up the regular season undefeated with a sound 24-21 win over Pearl-Cohn.
