Farragut Lady Admirals Sweep Region 2

[AdmiralGlasgow]

Farragut did tonight what they have set out to do all season long; prove that they are the best team in the Knoxville area. After a season's worth of debating about whether it would be Farragut, Anderson County, or cinderellas Hardin Valley or Catholic advancing to the sectional; Farragut took care of business on the main stage.

 

Both Anderson County and Farragut ran through their District regular seasons without much resistance, but while AC stumbled in post season play Farragut appears to be peaking at the right time. At the Region 2 tournament Farragut swept both Anderson County and Hardin Valley to advance to the sectional playoff game Thursday night. In both matches Farragut's onslaught of senior hitters were far too much for any opponent in the Hardin Valley gym to compete with. When Anderson County started strong in the first set Farragut regrouped and scored 5 straight points to take the lead 18-17. They would never fall behind by more than 3 at any other point in the tournament. A very strong Hardin Valley team seemed depleated after gutting out a victory against Catholic, and did not offer much competition in the final match. Farragut won easily, and were even able to give a few junior varsity players a taste of the Regional action.

 

There is always another day and another dog however, so after a brief celebration the focus of the Lady Admirals will turn to Morristown West, the runner up in Region 1. The season long goal of Farragut was not only to win the Regional Tournament, but to advance to State for the first time since the current seniors were freshmen. They'll get their chance to continue on their journey Thursday night 10/20 at the Farragut High School gym.

Congratulations to the Lady Ads. Great team! Please tell me their goal is not to just make it to the state. If it is please talk them in to changing that to "winning the state tourney". Shoot for the Stars. You girls can do it!
