Cleveland Blue Raiders Win 6th Straight, Enter Playoffs at 9-1

Cleveland High School's Blue Raiders crushed Farragut 45-8 to finish the regular season 9-1 and ride a six-game streak into the playoffs.

Cleveland High School's Blue Raiders closed out their regular season with a lopsided 45-8 road win over the Farragut Admirals, capping a six-game winning streak heading into the postseason. The final score reflected a sharp mismatch between the two programs: Cleveland entered the game at 9-1 overall and 5-1 in Region 2-6A, while Farragut finished the regular season at just 1-9, going 1-5 in the same region. The victory secured Cleveland's second-place standing in Region 2-6A, positioning the Blue Raiders favorably as they turn their attention to playoff competition. The 37-point margin underscored the dominance Cleveland has shown across its six-game run. Farragut, by contrast, managed only one regional win across the season, finishing near the bottom of the standings. The Admirals' lone victory gives a measure of context to how difficult their year was relative to Cleveland's strong campaign.

Why it matters

Entering the postseason on a six-game winning streak and finishing second in Region 2-6A gives Cleveland significant momentum and a favorable playoff seeding. A 9-1 record is one of the stronger marks in the region heading into the bracket.

What's next

The Blue Raiders now enter the Class 6A playoffs, where their second-place regional finish will determine their bracket placement and first-round opponent.
