McCallie made the wait worthwhile for its faithful following.
The Blue Tornado battered Red Bank 49-14 on Friday night at Spears Stadium in a home opener delayed an hour by lightning strikes in the area.
“We fed them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches,” McCallie coach Ralph Potter said. “We were kind of expecting the delay, so we wanted them to have some nutrition before going out there.”
The sandwiches didn’t provide the difference. The two programs’ experience level and overall talent are on two different levels this year.
“There are some big differences,” Potter said. “I appreciate Chad (Grabowski, Red Bank’s coach) for playing us.”
