Lady Admirals look to bounce back in 2026

The 2026 soccer season soon will begin for the Farragut High School Lady Admirals, and when it does, Farragut will be looking to bounce back from a bitter ending to the 2025 campaign.

The Lady Admirals saw the season come to a screeching halt with a loss to Knoxville West in the District 4-AAA Tournament semifinals as their comeback effort came up short at Bill Wilson Field.

“If you asked me, that would be the one game that I would like to have back,” said Farragut coach Jessica Stephens Burkhart, who begins her fourth year as head coach at her alma mater. “I think that was a game where the players felt like they earned more than they got.

“And I think that game has been a motivating force for us. They took that loss hard.”

The Lady Admirals, who finished third in the district’s regular-season standings, will kick off the 2026 campaign with a match against Powell on Tuesday, Aug. 18, at the Farragut Soccer Stadium, with kickoff slated for 7 p.m.
