Ana Sofia Meyer / TPI Edgewood Academy's Jadah Townsend reads the defense against Lowndes on Tuesday, Dec. 9.

There will always be stories about a freshman or sophomore with breakout varsity seasons; a young player with the chops to step up and make an impact against the top-level competition. Very rarely will you ever hear about a sixth grader doing the same thing. 

Edgewood Academy has that story. Their very own sixth grader, Jadah Townsend, is not only getting minutes on varsity, not only starting but also leading her team in every statistical category.
