The Class of 2026 saw 24 seniors sign to play at the next level this year. After the fall signing day inked 10 seniors to play in college, the Spring signing topped it with 14 more commitments. Congrats to all of our seniors moving on to compete in college. #evertrue

With the sweep over Indy in the last district game of the season, the Lady Spartans clinched the #2 seed in the District Tournament. This Border Battle game was led by the Spartans 7-2 going into the last inning. Sophomore Mia Veloz pitched 6 1/3 solid inning before giving way to Senior Bella Uppinghouse, who came in to slam the door on the Eagles to finish the game.

Senior Addy Willingham provided a large part of the offense, going 3 for 4 with 3 RBIs in the game. Senior Audrey Cathey also found her way on base and coming across the plate often, including one of the three key insurance runs in the top half of the 7th inning.

The girls have won 6 of their last 8 games and are averaging just under 9 runs a game in that stretch. Led by the power of Addyson Willingham and the consistent play of Audrey Cathey, these girls are poised to make a post season run. Funny enough it will begin against Indy next Monday. Good luck girls.

After splitting the final doubleheader of the regular season, the Lady Spartans finished in a three way tie for 3rd place. Tie-breakers gave Summit the #4 seed and they hosted Brentwood on Wednesday night. The girls had to come from behind in this one, but did, winning the game 18-13.

Senior Kendyl Williams had two touchdown catches, including the go ahead touchdown. She also made a game saving flag pull at the 2 yard line with 6 seconds left to save the win. Alana Floyd also made contributions as she ran for a touchdown and threw for two more. Other offensive standouts included Ava Krohl, Ella Gribben and Sophia Chandler. Defensively, Marleigh O'Donnell and Abigail Burrell had some big key moments as well.

The girls will move on to the Semifinals to face the #1 seeded Ravenwood team. The girls faced them a couple weeks ago and lost a tough battle by the score of 20-13. Good luck girls.

The team had two last regular season meets leading up to the Sub-Sectionals meet April 29-30 and the Sectional Meet on May 9th. Good luck to all of our runners, jumpers and throwers.

Williamson County Sports provided an opportunity for football teams to come together for "The Workout" at Centennial High School this week. Ten athletes from each of the Williamson County schools are invited to the event which featured over 30 college scouts. WCS produces some of the best athletes this state has to offer. We are all looking forward to watching them play this fall.

Homerun Heroes is a league for people with disabilities, ranging in ages from young children to older adults. This league thrives on the support of organizations and community members. Last Sunday the boys from the Summit Baseball team were fortunate enough to be some of the leagues supporters, working with these disabled athletes and helping make it a joyous experience for all. Thanks to Coach Manuel and the team for supporting out community.
