The annual Spring Fling, the collection of TSSAA state championship events for baseball, boys’ soccer, softball, tennis, and track and field, is quickly approaching.

Four days of competition in the Murfreesboro area are scheduled to begin on Tuesday, May 21, and while some spots have already been secured, most sports are still in the process of determining which athletes and teams will make the journey to state in two weeks.

As they progress through the portion of the postseason leading up to the Spring Fling, here — in no particular order — are eight of the top prep sports moments in the Chattanooga area from this week.

Division II baseball programs are already in the first round of state, and McCallie swept its best-of-three series against Father Ryan by winning both games of a doubleheader Thursday in Chattanooga — although the Blue Tornado’s victories were quite different from one another.
