Tate sits down with Patrick Whitlock, Athletic Director for Williamson County Schools, to break down the week’s local sports highlights and preview a big college football matchup.

State Golf Champions: The Page Patriots boys golf team claimed the AA state championship at Sevierville Golf Course, finishing 11 strokes under par as a team. Jake Ikoff took the individual title in a playoff against teammate Reed Bosselman after the two tied at five under par. The Patriots’ two-day total also tied for the second-lowest in TSSAA history.

High School Football: Most Williamson County teams are on fall break, but Nolensville stayed sharp, improving to 8-0 with a 31-0 shutout of Centennial. Tate and Patrick also look ahead to the Week 11 showdown between Nolensville and Page, with a regional championship on the line.

Vanderbilt vs. Ole Miss: The conversation wraps with a preview of Vanderbilt’s home game against the Ole Miss Rebels. Heavy rain and wind could throw off both passing offenses, and the hosts predict a close 28-24 win for Ole Miss, though they’re pulling for a Vanderbilt upset.

• Upcoming Schedule: The team will rest during fall break before facing Clarksville Northwest and Henry County in their final two region games.
• Weekend Plans: Coach Watson plans to spend his Saturday watching Austin Peay State University ("the Govs") play Tarleton State and grabbing a meal at Johnny's Big Burger.
