Hallie Grace perfect, Lady Ads near perfect in romp, claim Dist. 4-4A title

When Farragut High School softball is powering on all cylinders, watch out.

A near perfect performance by the Lady Admirals as a whole was, in fact, a perfect game performance by Hallie Grace Johnson, FHS staff ace pitcher as a sophomore.

Johnson, improving her overall record to 16-5 (1.678 earned run average) sat down all 15 batters from a talented William Blount line-up in a District 4-4A showdown of the district’s top two teams at Farragut’s Bellamy Field Monday evening, April 28.

Soccer Ads push Dawgs to OT, pks

It was a soccer match between rivals that not even two 10-minute sudden-death overtimes and a five-round penalty kick shootout could decide.

In the sixth shootout round of sudden-death, Bearden’s Ahmed Dkhiri talied to put his team up 5-4 in successful conversions.

Farragut then had its chance to tie it, but BHS goalkeeper Logan Nelson blocked away Nathan Henderson’s pk shot, ending the match with the SoccerDawgs on top.

The score after regulation was tied 1-1, which was followed by two scoreless 10-minute sudden-death overtimes before the shootout.

No. 1 seed for baseball Ads; win tiebreaker in district

Farragut needed only to beat a William Blount team it run-ruled at WBHS earlier this season while holding the Govs to 10 runs or less.

Accomplishing this would allow the Ads to win a District 4-4A tiebreaker versus Bearden and earn the No. 1 tournament seed and home field advantage.

Overcoming a shaky start, allowing four first-inning runs despite having ace pitcher Cole Draper on the mound, Farragut recovered well and earned a share of the regular season 4-4A crown and No. 1 seed with a 9-4 victory at The Ballpark at Farragut Wednesday, April 23.
