The reign continues for Baylor School's swimming and diving program.

Out of 22 events in the Tennessee Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association state meets Saturday and Sunday, the Red Raiders and Lady Red Raiders combined to finish first in 19 on their way to winning team state titles for the second year in a row.

Baylor won the championships in dominant fashion with 338 points in boys' competition and 324 in girls' competition. McCallie was runner-up to the Red Raiders with 270 points after the rivals tied for the 2020 title, and Maryville was second in the girls' meet with 255.

Three Red Raiders won three events: Drew Hitchcock (400-yard freestyle, 100 butterfly, 200 individual medley), Aidan Sims (200 free relay, 100 free, 50 free) and Sam Flack (200 free relay, 500 free, 400 free).

McCallie's Sam Powe won the 200 free and the 100 backstroke and was part of the winning 200 medley relay team with Will Hanger, Conor Kinley and Colby Maupin.

Ellie Waldrep won four events for the Lady Raiders: the 100 back, 200 free relay, 200 IM and 200 medley relay. Bre Belcher, Logan-Watson Brown and Callie West each won three events for the champions.

BOYS' SOCCER

St. Andrews-Sewanee 2, Grace Baptist 1: Cyril Adipo scored the tying goal on an assist from Luke Garner in the first half, and Tyler Rodgers provided the go-ahead score - cleaning up an Adipo shot deflected by the Grace goalkeeper - in the second half as the Mountain Lions overcame the early deficit to win Saturday. Center backs Mac Croom and Myers Gorrell were credited with notable defensive contributions for SAS (3-1-1).

BOYS' GOLF

Dalton tied for fifth Saturday in the two-day Trojan Invitational at Sunset Hills Country Club in Carrollton. Wyatt Brackett shot a second consecutive 73 to tie for 11th, the best individual finish for the Catamounts in their final event of the regular season.
