The Cocke County baseball team saw its 2024 season end on Tuesday night in a 10-0 loss to Seymour in the district tournament.
“They kept pressure on us, and we’re used to doing that to other people to make them make mistakes,” Harrell said. “I thought we put the ball in play plenty of times, but they made every play they needed to make. They hit, we weren’t, they scored, we weren’t, and it took its toll on us.”
