Boys BracketMcCallie coach Dan Wadley kept calling a play called “Four” through the final quarter of the Times Free Press Best of Preps semifinal matchup against Ooltewah.
It was a smart decision, because there were four hands that the ball seemed pretty comfortable in — the sets belonging to Jamaal Calvin and Jorden Williams.
The two combined for 48 points, and the Blue Tornado went on a 20-6 run in the final 5:56 to advance to tonight’s championship game with a 67-56 victory over Ooltewah.
Defending champion McCallie (5-4) will face Baylor for the title, starting at 8:30.
