HOOTENS.COM GAME OF THE WEEK
No. 5 Nashville at No. 1 Shiloh Christian
This is a rematch of last year's quarterfinal that Shiloh Christian rallied from a 35-0 deficit and won 51-49. These teams have combined to win the past five state championships, and they've played in 17 title games over the past 17 years. Shiloh Christian and Nashville have each lost just four times during the past four years.

Shiloh Christian has applied the 35-point sportsmanship rule on every Class 4A opponent this season and the Saints have won 32 straight home playoff games. Senior quarterback Kiehl Frazier, who has committed to play at Auburn next season, has thrown 99 touchdown passes and generated more than 10,000 yards offense in his career. Senior receiver Zann Jones has snagged 52 career TD passes, just three shy of the state record. Senior running back Garrett Harper has rushed for more than 1,000 yards this year, the first Saint to break the mark since 1997. "Harper is so good in space," said Nashville coach Tim Perry. "Their offense is explosive, and defensively they are hard to block."

Nashville has won five conference titles and three state championships during the past seven years. Scrapper senior running back Devencio Hawthorne has rushed for more than 1,100 yards this season, while senior QB Cole Moore has passed for almost 2,000 yards. The Scrappers average 58 points per playoff game since Moore returned from a two-game suspension. Moore threw three TD passes in last week's 65-27 win at Gosnell. "They have the best set of skill players we've faced since Euless Trinity (in Week 2)," said Shiloh Christian coach Josh Floyd. "We are worried about stopping them."
