Played at Vanderbilt University, this game vs Centennial would be recognized as a pitchers dual, 1-0 late in the game. However, Summit found the equalizer to send the game into extra innings tied at one. In the 8th inning, the Cougars struck first, taking a 2-1 lead and needing only three outs for the win. The Spartans did not comply as they scored first on a RBI Triple by Cade Burden, followed by the walk-off RBI single by Jake Campbell for his third hit of the night.

This is a young Spartans squad that has played a tough schedule thus far in the season. Playing .500 baseball against this schedule is promising for the rest of the year and the future of the Spartans Baseball program.

The girls moved to 7-0 this week after back to back doubleheader sweeps. Last week, they travelled to Franklin HS for their first doubleheader of the season. First, they beat host Franklin 25-12 and then followed that up with a win over Wilson County 33-13. Stand out performances were displayed by Bella Lambert who had 5 interceptions in the two games including one run back for a touchdown vs Franklin. Alana Floyd also dominated on the field, especially in the Wilson Co. game. She had 341 total yards of offense (186 rushing and 155 passing) and 4 total touchdowns (3 rushing and 1 passing).

Last night they traveled to Nolensville for another set of games. They found themselves trailing in both games but found a will and a way to win both. They first scored in the final 12 seconds to upset Page High 26-25. They followed that up with a 24-20 win over the Knights from Nolensville. Congrats girls!

The Spartans Lacrosse team took on the Independence Eagles in a rival showdown at home last Friday. This was a close battle all night. The Spartans held a 1 goal lead at half, 4-3. The boys extended their lead to 6-3 before Indy made a run in the 4th quarter to tie the game at six a piece. The Spartans had one last moment in regulation but the goal was disallowed as it came just after time expired. The two battled into two overtimes before Summit found the Golden Goal from Ryan Mundhenk to win, 7-6.

Softball has been in many close, 1-run games this season. The game against #11 Dickson County was not any different. Summit earned the victory, 5-4 over the Cougars. Bella Uppinghouse and Mia Veloz led from the circle. Mia also had a good day at the plate going 2 for 3 with an RBI. Mary Clark had the same numbers going 2-3 with and RBI and Audrey Cathey had a hit with an RBI. Also, check out the defensive game saving play by Sam Malcolm video below.

It's always a good feeling to knock off your rival. The Eagles came over to Summit for a Border Battle in softball. Another close game all the way through, but the Spartans prevailed 3-2 in the end. Senior Bella Uppinhouse led the way for Summit in the circle. Key hits from Addy Willingham, Audrey Cathey, Mia Veloz and Paityn Robertson supported the victory. The girls travel to Goodpasture today at 5:00pm.

Who do you want to be and how are you going to achieve that goal. Kobe Bryant would say, "START EARLIER." Maybe that literally means start earlier, but really it is the mindset to do it better and more often than your competitor. If your competitor is training two times a day, start earlier and train four times a day. Over time, your competitor will never be able to catch up to the work you put in.
