The Phil Campbell junior high softball team waltzed through the winners bracket with two easy wins over Belgreen, culminating in an 18-3 win in the championship game. Phil Campbell also beat Tharptown on the way to the championship.
The Phil Campbell junior high baseball team beat Vina 12-0 to win the junior high Franklin County Tournament.
The Bobcats bested Red Bay 20-0 in their first game of the tournament and then took on the winner of the East Franklin-Vina game. Vina led by five going into the final inning, and although the Rebels came back to cut the game to a one-run deficit, the Red Devils were able to hang on for the win and advance to the finals.
