Defense defines the second year back
The score list opens with shutout wins over Cedar Hill and Coopertown. White House then handed Greenbrier its only loss, 18–13, before Cedar Hill earned a 6–6 tie.
Greenbrier closed the recovered list with another 7–0 shutout of Coopertown and a 25–7 win over Lewis County. The two Coopertown meetings became a 20–0 season sweep, and three of Greenbrier’s four victories came without allowing a point.
No opponent scored more than White House’s 18. Across six finals, the Bobcats allowed 31 total points and finished with a plus-40 scoring margin in Jimmy Suter’s second season.
