STATE CHAMPIONS!
State Champions!
11/25/2007
Behind a punishing running game, a suffocating defense, and the sure foot of kicker Andrew Fletcher, MBA captured the school's fourteenth state title in Murfreesboro Saturday night. The Big Red posted its sixth shutout of the season with a dominating 12-0 win over rival Brentwood Academy. The win capped a school-record 13-0 season for MBA's 32 seniors and first-year head coach Daniel McGugin.
Fletcher, a sophomore, accounted for the game's only points, set a Championship record with four field goals (34, 19, 20, and 23 yards) and earned the Offensive Most Valuable Player Award. Senior safety Nathan Wade was named Defensive MVP after posting two interceptions, three tackles and one bone-jarring hit to break up a pass completion early in the first quarter. Wade and his defensive teammates held the explosive BA offense in check all night, limiting the Eagles to 144 yards in total offense, and only allowing them to cross midfield once.
The MBA offensive line of Will Adams, Preston Bailey, Wesley Johnson, Owen Lipscomb, Robert Rolfe, tight ends Joseph Sloan and Clark Benton, and fullbacks Ben Bartholomew and Fitz Lassing dominated the line of scrimmage as the Big Red rolled up nearly 300 rushing yards. Seniors E.J. Vinsang (162) and Christian Waddey (113) each gained more than 100 yards on the ground.
