After edging McCallie in the TSSAA Division II East-Middle Region tournament, the Friendship Christian boys’ team beat the Blue Tornado again Saturday at Smyrna in the state championship match.
FCS, ending its season 19-1, won 20-7 over McCallie after beating the Chattanooga team 19-8 in a semifinal last year on the way to the state title. The Lebanon-based Commanders were part of a sweep of the 2015 team titles for the defending champions.
Columbia Central (26-2) repeated its Division I boys’ supremacy with a 20-7 defeat of Clarksville Academy, while the Hardin County girls wrapped up a 23-0 follow-up championship season with a 16-11 win over White House in the Division I girls’ final and St. Benedict (16-0) again topped Memphis-area rival St. Agnes in the DII girls’ title match, this time 21-6. St. Benedict won 15-12 in their final last year.
Sam Wood rolled a 593 series with a high game of 213 Saturday for McCallie (17-4), and he and Jay Moorefield each was 2-1 in head-to-head matches against the Commanders.
