Week 2 provided a shakeup to the Main Street Preps Top 25 football rankings.

Among the biggest movers were Father Ryan (No. 19 to No. 12), Lipscomb Academy (No. 5 to No. 2), and Pearl-Cohn (No. 10 to No. 5).

Father Ryan (2-0) used a big second half to pull away from Brentwood 26-13 ahead of its region opener against Pope Prep.

Lipscomb Academy (2-0) blew out Independence 62-7 behind 211 rushing yards and six total touchdowns from senior running back Alex Broome.

And Pearl-Cohn (2-0) welcomed back four-star senior Barion Brown, who ran for 217 yards and a pair of scores in the Firebirds’ 26-21 win at MBA.

This week’s newcomers include No. 22 Wilson Central, No. 23 Davidson Academy and No. 24 Springfield. All three teams picked up Week 2 wins. Hillsboro, Nolensville and Lebanon each lost and dropped off the list.
