McCallie Plays Giant Killer Once Again With 35-6 Win Over Columbia South Carolina

Friday, October 06, 2006 - by by special report to The Chattanoogan

Another No. 1 team came into town to face McCallie's Blue Tornado on Friday night at Finley Stadium.

Another one bit the dust.

The Columbia (South Carolina) Capitals saw their unbeaten streak come to an end as McCallie took an impressive 35-6 victory.

McCallie improved to 6-1 overall while Columbia dropped to 6-1. The Blue Tornado defeated No. 1 Murfreesboro Riverdale and No. 1 Brentwood Acadmey earlier this season.

McCallie has feasted on tough opponents this season, and Friday was no exception.

Tennessee commitment B.J. Coleman was the star once again. He ran for touchdowns on runs of 22 and 10 yards and threw touchdown passes of 40 and 14 yards.

Coleman threw touchdown passes of 40 and 14 yards to Reggie Poindexter.

The Blue Tornado, looking impressive after a victory last week over rival Baylor, rolled up 372 yards of total offense against Columbia, ranked No. 1 in South Carolina.

Columbia's offensive line averaged almost 300 pounds, and its defensive line was also very huge.

McCallie plays host to Tyner next Friday night at Spears Stadium.
