Week Five of high school football offered some close games and some upsets. For the second straight week, Knoxville Grace Christian Academy upset the team picked to beat them on Rivalry Thursday. Behind the legs of JV Stinson (391 rushing yards) and Jace Ballard, Grace beat Webb 70-40. Grace is now 4-0, 3-0 in division play. Grace has overcome multiple injuries this season, including the starting running back, Terrion Thomas, who is incidentally JV’s brother, and the starting quarterback, Treyson Derry, who sustained a broken collarbone during Week 3.
