It was a sweet homecoming of sorts Friday night for former Baylor coach Ralph Potter.
Potter, who coached at Baylor before becoming the head man at his alma mater rival McCallie led his Brentwood Academy squad past Baylor, 42-21, in a Division II high school football game Friday night at Heywood Stadium.
Potter left McCallie and took the head-coaching job two years ago at Brentwood Academy. It was his first trip back to Baylor as the Brentwood coach.
Brentwood improved to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the DII standings. Baylor dropped to 2-2 and 0-2.
Baylor responded with a 1-run touchdown run from Sam Williams and a 47-yard touchdown pass from Charlie Wilson to Brett Murray.
Brentwood rallied and scored on a 6-yard pass from Cody Nelson to Weldon Garlington. Baylor scored again as Murray ran 4 yards for a score and the Red Raiders led, 21-13, at halftime.
Baylor didnt score in the second half, but Brentwood put up 29 points.
Joshua Pleasant scored on a 69-yard pass from Nelson and Garlington caught a 60-yard touchdown pass from Nelson. Caro then scored on touchdown runs of 9 and 13 yards.
Williams had 106 yards rushing on 30 attempts for Baylor and Joshua Tate rushed for 163 yards on 23 carries for Brentwood. Tate ran for a conversion.
Brandon Pickett had an interception for Baylor.
