    The term stepping up is often used in high school athletics.
    Midway Freshman Ragyn Hall did just that Friday evening as she pitched a shutout and then on offense she drove in five runs in an 11-0 win over Loudon.
    Loudon’s only threat came in the top half of the first inning as they coupled base hits to leave runners on first and second.
