Nolensville 21, Giles County 14

The Knights needed two fourth-quarter touchdowns to rally past visiting Giles County in Week 2.

Coby Walton connected with Chance Fitzgerald for 20 yards and Reese Miller's PAT knotted the game at 14-14 with 9:06 to play. Dylan Northcutt hauled in a 42-yard strike from Walton just four minutes later for the go-ahead score.

Walton threw for three TDs going 14 of 26 for 264 yards. He also led the ground game with 31 yards. Fitzgerald snagged five balls for 105 yards and Northcutt caught four for 76 yards.

Zion Tamaska caught the other Walton TD – a 29-yarder early in the second frame.

Giles County's Kamauri Turner responded with back-to-back touchdown runs as the Bobcats kept the Nolensville offense in check until the fourth.

Taylor Wein racked up six tackles, including two for loss, while Taryc Washington swiped an interception to lead the Knights defense.

Nolensville, which moved to 2-0, will head to Lincoln County next week to begin Region 6-5A play. The Falcons are 0-2 and coming off a 42-7 loss at Centennial.
