FRANKLIN, Tenn. -- Baylor's unbeaten season came to a halt here Thursday night.
Montgomery Bell Academy, which lost last week to Ensworth, 50-21, defeated Baylor, 17-0, in a Division II high school football game.
Baylor dropped to 4-1 and MBA moved to 3-2.
MBA was without starting quarterback Luke Colbert, who was lost for the season with a fractured vertebrae in the loss to Ensworth.
Running back Fitz Lassing took up the slack, running some quarterback in the wildcat formation, by scoring both MBA touchdowns on runs of 7 and 4 yards. He rushed for 92 yards on 15 carries.
Backup MBA quarterback Van East completed 7-of-11 passes for 145 yards.
Andrew Fletcher kicked two point-afters and a 24-yard field goal as MBA scored all its points in the first half.
Baylor quarterback Jacob Huesman was 16-for-31 for 162 yards, but threw two interceptions. Huesman had 12 carries for 51 yards.
Matthew Oollerich caught six passes for 71 yards for Baylor.
Baylor running back Sam Williams returned to the lineup, but was ineffective against MBA.
Ensworth, which ended MBA's 15-game home winning streak two weeks ago, plays at McCallie on Friday night.
