SM-Tn Sports
Facing another open date – the first originally scheduled off week of the season – Summit moved up a spot in the Associated Press Class 5A poll.
The Spartans, who picked up a ‘COVID win’ against Region 5-5A rival Shelbyville Friday, ascended from No. 5 following Knoxville Central’s third loss of the season. Previous No. 4 Beech also moved up one slot to trail top-ranked Knoxville West and No. 2 Powell.
Summit, which previously had its Week 5 matchup against visiting Overton and its Week 7 league contest at Page canceled for COVID-related reasons, is scheduled to play its regular-season finale Oct. 30 against visiting Region 5-5A foe Lincoln County.
In Class 6A, Independence travels to fifth-ranked Brentwood (6-2) in a key Region 6-6A contest. The game was originally scheduled for Oct. 2, but the Eagles were unable to play because they were in quarantine. Independence (5-1) came out of its COVID pause with a 56-0 win last week over Dickson County, its fifth straight since a season-opening loss to Summit.
