Admirals grab key 4-4A win on road
KNOXVILLE — Once again stepping up his scoring prowess, Farragut senior wing Aiden VanAcker pumped in a team-high 24 points as the Admirals earned a key District 4-4A road win by beating Knoxville West 68-61 Tuesday night, Jan. 9.
Berkley Naro, FHS senior post, scored 15 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in helping lead the victory march. Dominic VanAcker, Ads junior wing, added 10 points.
“It was one of those close games that comes down to a couple of possessions, and like the Karns game (earlier this month) we finished one of those on the positive side with a win,” said FHS head coach JP Burris, whose team improved to 1-1 overall in district play, 7-12 overall.
“I thought we were really good defensively,” he added. “And we executed, especially in the second half. We were a lot more efficient on the offensive end.”
