Many of the guys joined the first weekend's game at Finley Stadium where we watched McCallie beat central Tennessee's Gallatin Tigers . While many of our guys went on the Labor Day Weekend trip, a few stayed behind to see McCallie pummel a normally strong Brentwood Academy. The game was won in the final two minutes when McCallie opened a huge lead with back to back touchdowns. The cross country crew is already racing, our golf team is already making some noise with a strong squad of players, and our freshmen football players are getting ready for their first game on the 11th. Academically, the guys are beginning to experience what it's like to be a McCallie student.
Classes are in full swing, with homework taking top priority on study hall evenings.
Guys may seem overwhelmed at times, but that is part and parcel of starting out a year and learning how to organize time. High school requires a bit more focused attention to time management,and freshmen year is a great one for learning this. From using free time during the day to getting a little bit of work in in the afternoons, to figuring out the order to complete assignments during study hall, students are making great strides in study skills. This week, the afternoon activities started. For more information on how all that works, you can check the MTA website that Dr. Bob Cutrer maintains.
