TSSAA Football Highlights: CPA upsets Oakland 35-14 Behind a strong defensive performance and a stout running game, CPA ended Oakland's 36-game win streak with a 35-14 victory. Jackson Mathews' first Power 5 college football offer is one with special meaning. It's where his grandfather once coached. The Christ Presbyterian Academy senior cornerback, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound athlete, was offered by Tennessee on Sunday. The Vols see him as a safety or nickelback. His grandfather Doug Mathews was an assistant under former Tennessee coach Johnny Majors in the 1980s, where he spent time as the Vols defensive coordinator and coached the secondary during part of his tenure.
