The McCallie School student body held an assembly Wednesday to formally receive the 2019 Football State Championship trophy. As part of that, every student was also given a Goo Goo Cluster, courtesy of Montgomery Bell Academy.

Shortly before the game last Thursday, McCallie Headmaster Lee Burns and MBA Headmaster Brad Gioia agreed to a friendly wager: If MBA won, McCallie would send every MBA student a Chattanooga-made Moon Pie; if McCallie won, MBA would send every McCallie student a Goo Goo Cluster, which is made in Nashville.
