CONTRIBUTED TO THE OBSERVER
LEE COUNTY —
Southern Christian Athletics, under the direction of athletic director and coach Jason Scott, has added a varsity baseball team to its repertoire.
Last year, the team competed as a junior varsity-only squad and compiled a 14-7 record. In 2023, Southern Christian Athletics (SCA) fields both junior varsity and varsity teams.
On March 11, the Patriots traveled to Columbus, Georgia, to take on perennial powerhouse Calvary Christian and wound up on the losing end of both junior varisty and varsity games, 2-12 and 3-15, respectively.
Last week, SCA hosted Trinity of Montgomery. The junior varsity team lost, 3-7, while the varsity prevailed in a mercy-rule-shortened contest, 12-0.
Jayden McKee and Noah Sawhill connected for two hits apiece in the offensive barrage, while pitchers Sawhill and Eli Pickard held Trinity to three hits.
Jagger Scott leads the team in hitting with a .500 average, while Jaxon Frazier comes in second with a .455 average.
