HIGH SCHOOL FALL HIGHLIGHTS
BOYS' CROSS COUNTRY In the fall season, all cross country runners improved their personal times by an average of 90 seconds for the 5k distance. The team improved their finishes from last year at both the Metro Nashville Championships (with runners Lucas Rehm ‘23 and Sam Horn ‘23 earning top 30 places) and the State Cross Country Championship.
GIRLS' CROSS COUNTRY This fall’s girls team was led by a new, talented freshman runner, Remi Schimmel ‘23. She finished 18th at the Jesse Owens invitational and 9th at the Metro Championship Meet. Chloe Edwards ‘21 and Katherine Groomes ‘23 joined her as two new hard-working and talented runners on our varsity squad. The combination of these fresh faces and a dedicated and experienced returning crew, which included Lucy Butler ‘21, Sara Daugherty ‘21, Gray Fleetwood ‘22, and Lizza Hubbard ‘20, allowed for Ensworth to have a strong finish at the TSSAA State Cross Country Meet.
FOOTBALL The Ensworth Tigers finished the season with an 8-4 overall record and an appearance in the DII-AAA Playoffs Semifinals. The Tigers’ offense averaged 33 points per game led by quarterback Gerard Bullock '20 with 2,006 yards passing, 11 touchdowns and 10 Rushing touchdowns. Leading receivers were Austin Henderson '20, Elijah Jenkins '20, Keshawn Lawrence '20, and Isaiah Horton '22. Leading rushers were Charles Ingram '22 and Gabe McDaniels '20. The defense was strong this season with Toleo Malone '21, Andre Turrentine '21, and Bryce Edmondson '21 leading the team in tackles. Cal Archdeacon '20 set the tone up front leading the team in sacks while William Wright '20 led the secondary in interceptions and pass break-ups. Special Teams were key for the Tigers, led by kicker Evan Cooley '20 and punter/kicker Hayden Horn '21. Keshawn Lawrence '20 was also key in the return game with 4 punt returns for touchdowns.
