With Farragut bats basically silenced, FHS pitchers Matt Ramsey and Jordan Cooper compensated by becoming strikeout machines.
Cooper’s lights-out relief work in the seventh inning extinguished a Bulldog blaze — bases loaded, none out — and saved a critical District 4-AAA tourney game with an overpowering fastball used to strike out the heart of Bearden’s order.
Combining that with a two-hit, 14 strikeout effort from Ramsey — fanning 10 of the last 12 batters he faced in five innings of work — and the Admirals survived 2-1 in a winner bracket game Monday, May 5, at FHS’s John Heatherly Field.

The coach who will bring HVA Hawk football to life this fall said he still has a coaching obligation to Austin-East’s track and field program through the spring; that he’ll “remain loyal” to A-E through the TSSAA Class A/AA state tourney in late May.
