Going into Friday’s game at Chattanooga Christian School, questions swirled around Notre Dame’s quarterback situation after losing Landon Allen to a broken ankle last week.
Cameron Wynn and T.J. McGhee had all the answers, leading the Fighting Irish to a 53-7 win at Charger Stadium in the Region 3-3A opener for both teams. Notre Dame improved to 3-0 overall as CCS suffered its first loss in three games to start the season.
The sophomore tandem of McGhee and Wynn amassed 153 yards through the air, completing 10 of 15 passes with no interceptions and two touchdowns. McGhee’s 11-yard pass to Akil Sledge in the third quarter was the first touchdown pass of his high school career.
McGhee missed last week’s win against Tyner while recovering from a concussion.
“My hats off to both of those kids,” Notre Dame coach Charles Fant said. “T.J. worked hard to get back ready to play, and we worked a lot with Cameron this summer throwing the ball, so we were really excited with how he threw the ball tonight. It was also great to see T.J. get his first touchdown pass. “
