Rising Star Shines in High-Stakes Game
Memphis is a city that knows how to rally. From the iconic ‘I Am a Man’ marches downtown to fans pulsing through the FedExForum on Grizzlies nights, Memphis is no stranger to comebacks and big moments. Last Friday, that spirit was on full display on the football field as Memphis Business Academy faced hometown rival MASE in a must-win regular season game.

In a dramatic fourth quarter, freshman running back Kylan Simmons made his mark with a game-winning touchdown run. His explosive play secured the 12-8 victory, giving Memphis Business their first-ever win over MASE. More than just a number on the scoreboard, Simmons’ drive kept Memphis Business Academy’s TSSAA playoff hopes alive — lighting up conversations from Whitehaven to Binghampton.
