FAYETTEVILLE — The Bryant Hornets captured their third Class 7A State championship in the last five years with a 10-0 win over the Fayetteville Bulldogs on Friday.
Junior right-hander Blaine Knight threw his second four-hit shutout of the State tournament and the third in row by Bryant pitching and was named the Most Valuable Player. Senior Dalton Holt went 3 for 3, scored four runs and belted a game-clinching two-run home run in the top of the sixth.

Way to go Hornets! I played for them in 1984, 1985, 1986, we had a really good year in 1985, but the program today is at an incredible level! Lots of credit to Coach Bock and all the summer ball coaches from teeny league to American legion that have contributed to Bryant becoming such a dominate program.

What a game. Kudos to our students that were loud. Fayetteville has a ton of talent but I watched a group that played as individuals with the worst attitudes I have seen in a team in a long time. Bryant played as a TEAM and were not going to be denied.
Also thought that Bryant had as many if not more fans than Fayetteville in their home town.
Again what a game. ch
