Avery “Ace” Strickland, Farragut standout senior wing who passed the 1,500-point career mark as a Lady Admiral last week, looks to drive against District 4-4A rival Maryville Tuesday, Jan. 11, in FHS’s Lynn E. Sexton Gymnasium. The Lady Ads (14-5 overall, 2-1 in 4-4A entering the week) enjoyed a dominant victory against the Lady Red Rebels, then won decisively at rival Hardin Valley Academy, 74-41, Thursday, Jan. 13. Strickland pumped in a game-high 22 points verus the Lady Hawks and was one of three Farragut girls scoring in double figures. Keeleigh Rogers, senior guard, scored 19 while Ashlyn Sheridan, senior wing, added 15. “I feel like we’ve gone through so much adversity, but we’ve held together,” Strickland said. “We’re playing well, and we’re playing quick like we normally play,” Rogers said. While Hardin Valley was without starter Gracie Waite, a sophomore guard who is a team leader in numerous statistical categories, Kamiyah Love’s 13 points led the Lady Hawks (9-3, 0-2).
