Cam & Owen finish, late defense give Norris, program 2nd title

COOKEVILLE — The Cam & Owen Show for making late-game three-point jumpers under enormous pressure — and the team’s late-game shutdown defense — resulted in gold ball joy for Webb School of Knoxville boys.

Even more impressive, perhaps, when considering a couple of factors that could have led to late-game panic for Ricky Norris’ West Knoxville boys in this TSSAA Division II-AA State Tournament title game versus Briarcrest of Memphis Saturday night, March 8. All’s well that ends well, as Webb earned a 54-45 state title win.

It was a masterful pitching duo for Farragut High School’s baseball team Monday night, March 10, at FHS’s John Heatherly Field.

After a shaky first inning against visiting Lebanon, starting pitcher Brody Roberts was perfect for the next three. Reliever Joey Ray came on in the fifth inning, then gave up a run in the seventh — but only due to errors.
