KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - We’re officially into the home stretch. The playoff push is on and the chase for region championships is underway.

As we enter Week 6, multiple unbeatens will put their perfect records on the line on Varsity All Access. It’s time to break down the top five games you need to watch on this week’s schedule.

GAME OF THE WEEK | POWELL at HALLS (34-17, Final)

Check out the highlights from the Powell vs. Halls game

Halls continues to win convincingly. The Red Devils have yet to play a one-score game this season, allowing just 34 points on their way to a 5-0 start.

Their most challenging opponent yet awaits them on Friday. Powell is back above .500 at 3-2 thanks to an impressive win, 45-27 over Clinton. The Panther defense has been a turnover machine, forcing 12 turnovers this season.

WEBB at CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF KNOXVILLE (42-12, Final)

Check out the highlights from the Webb vs. CAK game

The high-powered CAK offense meets the stingy defense of Webb in Week 6.

The Spartans have been dominant on both sides of the football, defeating opponents by an average of over 30 points per contest en route to a 5-0 start. Webb received a first-place vote in last week’s AP poll in Division II-AA.

CAK is riding high after a thrilling 65-51 win over Lakeway Christian a week ago. Warrior quarterback Aiden Troutt enjoyed a game for the ages, scoring eight touchdowns. The Senior threw five scores, ran for two more, and hauled in a touchdown pass as CAK improved to 3-2.

NORTHVIEW ACADEMY at GRAINGER (28-0, Final)

Check out the highlights from the Northview vs. Grainger game

With all the surprise teams we’ve seen throughout East Tennessee this season, Northview Academy has flown under the radar. The Cougars enter Friday’s matchup with Grainger a perfect 5-0. The Cougars have failed to win five games since 2017.

Northview is carried by their defense, holding every opponent to 21 points or less this season. Grainger is looking for one of the bigger upsets of the year thus far and will need their defense to step up. In the Grzzlies’ two victories, opponents have combined to score just 18 points. In their three losses, opponents are averaging over 42 points per game.

OAK RIDGE at CLINTON (37-24, Final)

Check out the highlights from the Oak Ridge vs. Clinton game

One of the biggest upsets of the year so far came a week ago as Oak Ridge fell 14-3 to McMinn County. This week, the Wildcats will be without Head Coach Derek Rang who is serving a one-game suspension for multiple sideline violations. Former Head Coach Joe Gaddis will be on the sideline as Rang serves his suspension.

Clinton started slow last week in a 45-27 loss to Powell, scoring 27 points after falling into an early 20+ point hole. Oak Ridge fell from No. 5 to No. 9 in this week’s 5A poll and will need to avoid an upset to remain ranked.

WEST at HERITAGE (48-14, Final)

Heritage put together its most complete performance of the season last time out, defeating Karns 56-21, setting a new season-high for points scored.

The Mountaineers will need that momentum if they want to hang with West. The Rebels continue to dominate, picking up a 53-0 victory over Central a week ago.

The Rebels have won 20 consecutive games dating back to 2021.
