Perfect again
The first three wins were competitive by the season’s standard: Smyrna 18–7, Hendersonville 15–7 and Jo Byrns 15–7. Greenbrier was 3–0 with a 48–21 scoring edge.
The last five became a defensive statement. Jackson County, Charlotte, White Bluff and Ashland City did not score, while White House managed six. Greenbrier won that closing run 128–6.
The final line was 8–0 and 176–27, with no opponent above seven. The score list places “Lower Cumberland Valley Conference Champions” directly beneath the Ashland City finale, retaining the title at its exact conference scope.
