New-look Redskins ready to compete

Loudon High School’s Trey Willis delivers a pitch Saturday in the Redskins’ 6-3 win over the Harriman High School Blue Devils.

The Loudon High School Redskins baseball team unofficially kicked off the season on a high note Saturday by defeating the Harriman High School Blue Devils 6-3 in an exhibition game at home.

“I thought that the majority of the guys at the beginning pitched really well, came out and commanded the strike zone, which is nice,” Jason Lambert, LHS head baseball coach, said. “About this time, though, pitching is a little bit ahead of hitting — that’s typically what we see, especially early on in the preseason.”
