McCallie scored three unanswered touchdowns to snap a 14-all tie and take command of a home matchup with Virginia’s Life Christian Academy on Friday night.
With McCallie leading 34-14 with 11:04 remaining in the fourth quarter, officials called the game after three Life Academy coaches were ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct, awarding the Blue Tornado the win.
McCallie running back Tario Price led the way with 118 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries, while junior quarterback Jay St. Hilaire was 10-of-18 passing for 117 yards and a touchdown. Carson Gentle led the Blue Tornado defense with four solo tackles (one for loss) and a sack.
Price snapped the tie with a 1-yard run with just 10 seconds to go before halftime, then added a 3-yard touchdown with 2:49 left in the third for a two-score advantage. St. Hilaire later tossed a 14-yard touchdown to Drew Hamilton, putting McCallie (5-2) in control.
