MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETICS
After an 0-2 start to the season, and about a month of rainouts, the boys were anxious to show they were better than their record. The offense came alive, and the pitching and defense held strong for an 8-4 win at Towns County to get TFS in the win column. A road split at Lumpkin County came next, and led into the first home game against Towns County. An 8-1 win propelled the team the rest of the way. TFS closed out with five straight wins, including a home double-header sweep of Loganville Christian and a double-header sweep on the road at Rabun Gap to polish it off. TFS finished at 7-3, with eighth-grader Wyatt Dorsey leading the team in nearly every category, as he hit .643 with 14 RBI and 15 runs scored. Griffin Harkness (3-0, 1.65 ERA, 10 K) and Ethan Wheeler (2-1, 1.75 ERA, 25 K) were dominant on the mound.
