Grace Christian beat CAK, 32-31 in 2011 handing the Warriors one of their two losses.

CAK went on to win the 3A state title while Grace finished the season undefeated but without a championship because of a postseason ban.

Both schools came into 2012 with an undefeated season as their goal.

CAK still has that hope alive after beating Grace at home 27-19.

The Warriors got on the board early. On Grace's first play from scrimmage, Tennessee commitment Brett Kendrick forced a fumble and Coby Campbell dove on it for CAK. Two plays later Corey Rathbone reached the endzone to put the Warriors up 7-0.

Jesse Garren tied it up with a short run in the second quarter but on the next drive CAK took the lead right back. Rathbone took a short pass and faked out the Rams defense with a nice juke move to get to the endzone.

The teams traded touchdowns in the second half and Cody Bailey picked off a Devin Smith pass in CAK territory to seal the win.
