Dallas Moroy

Mak Fletcher

Strong Pitching Hallmark of Arlington Christian Teams

Softball at Arlington Christian is underway. Full squads at the junior varsity and varsity level began the season Aug. 15.

The Junior Varsity posted decisive wins over Trinity Christian, Calvary Christian, Flint River Academy and Heritage. Pitchers Sara Harper and Katie Hughes of Palmetto have claimed the pitching mound. The Fletcher sisters, Mak and Ali, of Newnan have formed a pitcher/catcher act and also led the team offensively. Jessica Welch of Douglasville and Kendall Roy of Newnan have also contributed to the team total of 64 runs scored.

Behind the pitching of Arlington senior Dallas Moroy, the Lady Eagles have posted three wins and one loss in regular season play. They have defeated Flint River, Griffin Christian and Faith Christian. They were winning a game vs. Greater Gwinnett that was shortened by rain. Besides Moroy, the young team includes only one other senior, Jessica Rucker.

Offensive leaders include Moroy, Mak Fletcher, freshman Danielle Swygert and Kaely Edwards, a junior veteran.

ACS Athletic Director Greg Cannon commented, “With only two seniors, our depth is coming from our underclassmen. They are improving with every game, but there is no substitute for experience.”
