The Blue Tornado, which led 5-1 at halftime, also defeated MUS in last year's final, 12-6.

 

The Owls (10-2) had three shots bounce off the goalpost in the second quarter and four for the game

 

Blue Tornado All-American senior goalie Patton Watkins earned the most valuable defensive player award by shutting out MUS for the final three quarters with 14 saves.

 

McCallie's All-American T.J. Kemp and Eoin Collins scored two goals, while Zack Ward and Walker Barnes each added one. Parker Mincy contributed with two assists and Bennett Krishock had one assist.

 

The win is number 174 for McCallie coach Troy Kemp who has an 18-year record of 174-57 with seven state championships; 1996-97, 2002, 2004-05, 2009-2010.

    • I used to think like that many many moons ago.  I wondered the same questions but learned that it is just not that easy.  Hiring assistant coaches can be complicated at times.  It takes a few years for HC’s to get who they feel is right for their system.  Couple that with good assistant coaches getting better jobs at times and leaving your program. More to it than some think.  I think you have a good coach up there and time will tell that story.  
    • okay.  Like i said initially, it's question we have to ask, but we sure don't know the answer yet.
    • You’re right, I shouldn’t jump the gun on it. Hopefully it isn’t related to the sports programs, because it’ll end up affecting a lot of innocent kids who just enjoy playing sports.
    • I totally agree but just don’t want to see people jumping the gun by insinuating it was for athletic reasons. Nobody knows at the moment except for those involved in the incident itself and those investigating.
    • Bruh, That portion of the post was simply a product of my imagination. Try to keep up.  The real purpose of the post was to rub salt in this fresh wound following FF’s departure to BGA.
