It's difficult to stop anybody when they're rolling.

After a busy summer with her travel team, which is called Fear and is based out of Lowndes County, Sydney Adair was ready to step right into another fast-pitch softball season.

This season, though, Adair found herself with new responsibilities for the Heritage Academy Lady Patriots. The graduation standout pitcher Kaitlyn Oswalt, who signed with East Central Community College in Decatur, meant it was Adair's turn to be the team's No. 1 pitcher. If that wasn't enough, the freshman started the season in the No. 2 spot in the batting order before being moved up to the leadoff position. Adair responded to the challenges by pitching all three of Heritage Academy's games last week. She also went 9-for-14 and played a key role in the team's first win Friday against Oak Hill Academy. "It was more like I am ready for this because I had been doing this all summer," Adair said. "It was a step up because I am playing older girls." Heritage Academy coach Mickey Allen said Adair rebounded from suffering the loss in the circle to Oak Hill Academy in the first game of the season and earned the victory against Oak Hill Academy on Friday. He said she has kept her focus at the plate in all three of the team's games. For her accomplishments, Adair is The Dispatch's Prep Player of the Week.
