MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Four soccer teams. Four routs.

Four goals (well 11, actually).

Boyd Buchanan, McCallie and Notre Dame advanced to their respective state finals at the TSSAA Spring Fling with resounding wins Wednesday at the Richard Siegel Soccer Complex. Two of those Chattanooga teams — Boyd Buchanan and Notre Dame — will face off in the Division II-A final at 5 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, while McCallie will face Christian Brothers in the Division II-AA final at 7:30.

In addition, Arts & Sciences continued its quest for a state title with a 4-1 win over Memphis Business in a Class A semifinal delayed due to inclement weather. William Cooley, Eliot Nichols, Will Parris and Justin Smith scored for the Patriots, who will face Gatlinburg-Pittman in the state championship match at 5 p.m. Eastern on Friday.

In Class AAA, Howard’s best run ever came to a close in the semifinals with a 2-0 loss to Ravenwood.
