Out of the gate 2-0: 6th-Grade Little Ads control Hardin Valley
Having five minus-yardage stops — all labeled as “team tackles” by head coach Justin Johnson — plus three scoring runs was plenty for Farragut’s 6th-Grade Little Ads Saturday morning in FHS’s Eddie Courtney Stadium.
This Farragut JV MAC team improved to 2-0 following a 20-0 victory against rival Hardin Valley.
Abram Brach’s 32-yard touchdown run followed by Bode Farr’s 34-yard scoring scamper, both in the first two quarters, gave Farragut a 12-0 lead at the halftime break.
Bode clinched the Blue and Gray victory with his 18-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter. The 2-point conversion kick by Easton Lear was good, as Rocco Childers held and Zachary Champbell snapped.
Overall, “We controlled the line of scrimmage, which is what we wanted to do,” Johnson said.
Earning special praise, “I would like to congratulate our defense and our offensive line,” the Little Admirals skipper said.
Up front on the offensive line were Brayden, Zachary, Will Johnson, Cooper Long, Jack Ferrie and J.J. Boyd.
Defenders were Braden, Will, Abram, Body, Rocco, Easton, Baylor Houston, Hudson Ridley, Ty Wilson, Casen Culbreth and Andrew Toth.
Abram’s fumble recovery in the fourth quarter, near midfield, led to Farragut’s final touchdown.
Among the Hardin Valley players coming up strong was defender Kington Morrow, who recorded a pair of minus-yardage hits in the second half.
