KNOXVILLE — With spring sports indefinitely suspended, uncertainty remains for senior athletes.
If one University of Tennessee softball signee played her last high school game on March 12, she went out on a high note.
Farragut High School infielder Bailey Myers signed with the Lady Vols in February and certainly had high hopes for the 2020 season, her senior campaign, for the Lady Admirals.
The season may have ended for Myers and the Lady Admirals before it even really had the chance to get started.
Farragut opened the season with a pair of lopsided District 4-AAA victories in rivalry games earlier in March. The Lady Admirals opened the year with a 12-1 win over Hardin Valley Academy before routing rival Bearden in what was Farragut’s most recent game before Knox County Schools closed and the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association suspended all competition due to the conavirus pandemic.
In the game against the Lady Bulldogs at Bearden’s Kim Hazelwood Field, Myers went 0-for-1 with two walks, two runs and three stolen bases.
Schools in Knox County are set to re-open on April 24 and the TSSAA has not canceled spring sports or the annual Spring Fling in Murfreesboro in May.
