American Christian Academy Wins 2A Crown
May 14, 2009


Coach Matt Moore's American Christian Patriots came away with an impressive sweep of Lexington High School today. The Patriots threw up 11 runs in five innings to walk away with the coveted "blue trophy". They were led by an impressive sophomore pitcher - Dillon Williams. Williams dominated the Lexington hitters in closing out yesterday's Game 1 and then again in Game 2. His 80-82mph fastball and 62-64mph slurve was just too much for the Lexington hitters. Williams worked both games off spotting his fastball to both sides of the plate, while using his slurve as an out pitch.


Two other young Patriots caught our eye during the series - sophomore Eric Hall (OF) and freshman Landon Fancher (RHP). Both are quality prospects and players to watch closely the next two years to see how they develop. Hall hit in the lead off spot for ACA in both games and showed good pitch selection, while controlling the bat well. He also showed nice speed that translates well in the field and at the plate. Fancher pitched in Game 1 and showed nice mound presence, while locating a 78-80mph fastball. He has a nice pitchers frame and shows some projection in his frame.


Congratulations to the Patriots!
