With TSSAA postseason action beginning this week, here are six spring sports predictions for the Chattanooga area. Patrick MacCoon’s six bold predictions include at least one for each spring sport: baseball, boys’ soccer, softball, tennis, track & field.

First undefeated season in program history

McCallie soccer still has one final regular season match left against Baylor coming up on Tuesday, but by the end of the month, expect coach Chris Cushenbery’s Blue Tornado squad to claim the program’s fourth state title and first unbeaten season.

Senior Dylan Capazario leads an attack that has scored 39 goals in 11 matches, while the defense led by Elliott Arnold and Ryan Larrabee has only allowed seven scores on the way to a 10-0-1 record. If Kenneth Chime was not not intimidating enough as an all-state basketball player, the 6-foot-8 senior is also a standout midfielder for the Blue Tornado. Brandon Mathurin, Gordon Lewis and Brooks Hilger can all help spur this offense that can maintain strong possession.
