Junior softball player Hannah Harper continues to deliver in a big way this season for The First Academy.
Harper extended her hit streak to 23 games in a row while allowing just four hits in the circle Friday to help TFA claim its first district title since 2015.
The Royals (18-6) ended Cornerstone Charter Academy’s streak of four consecutive district championships during an 11-1 win in six innings in the Class 3A District 7 final. CCA (11-12) entered the night having won its past five games.
“In the beginning [of the season] we knew we had a special group of girls, and this is really special to us because it’s been a while since TFA has had a district championship,” Harper said.
