A Sweep For The Champs

The 2017 NCISAA State Champions played 25 games this season winning 24.  Their lone loss of the season I think you can say  more than made up and got their revenge.  Their lone loss on the season came at the hands of Northside Christian who today lost for the second day in a row to the Patriots.

The Patriots jump out once again early in today's first game or the second game of this Two out of three championship series. Unlike yesterday where when the Northside rally came the Patriots responded to to pull away for a 8-2 victory.

Today turned into a Barn burner that took a championship team to hang on. Tying  run on third a fly ball becomes the state championship out and the Patriots are NCISAA 2A they win 5-4.

No need for A third game.  What can you say about Greg Clifton who left public school to take over the program. He has the best field of any field in Nash County. It seems that every year he has been at FC They have got closer and closer until the mountain top today.  It never hurts to have good players that he has had a hand in making.
