Interesting seeding UpperCumberlandMan.

 

I know Macon has the girl that was out last season returning but #1? New Coach too and with a few still in basketball right now, that is ambitious. I think 1/2 is DeKalb/LA and then Macon but we will see. I know that their new coach knows the game so we will see how it all turns out. Excited to get going!

Yes I realize that she is a UT Martin Commit and congrats to her! She will be pitching against two other college signees/commits as well in Pennycuff and Caplinger. That should mean we will have some great pitching in 8AA and are in for some great pitchers duels! I think it is yet to be determined who the best pitcher will be. There is a lot of softball to be played between now and the end of this season.

Believe DeKalb will head the list for Number One.  With Danny Fish at the helm, he is a smart man who will hold his players to a high level. Hopefully Caplinger will get some help so she will be strong going into tourney. 

 

Now, LA  and Macon could be right there as well.  Pennycuff is a good one and the players behind her will do a good job. 

 

This is a tough one with these three, but thats why we play the game.

 

Competition from the rest will be interesting.

Girl that was out last year for Macon is a UT Martin commit who will be the best pitcher in the district. In softball, having the best pitcher is huge since they can pitch daily.

Macon is good ball club year after year..no one can argue that but to say a girl who missed last year is the "Best Pitcher" in the district is pushing it. LA & DeKalb both have stellar pitchers and have both signed too. No doubt it will be a pitchers duel this year...

DeKalb is the favorite until someone knocks them off the top spot. LA and Macon could give them a run. Paige Clark of Macon Co signed with UTM as an outfielder and has not pitched competitively in almost 2 years. Upperman and Smith could also be in the mix. Let's hope for a return of warm weather as the season nears

The Gordonsville tournament showed 8AA is one of the best around.  Holding their own and beating many of the AAA schools.  I think the only teams not there were York, Upperman and Cannon.  Murfreesboro Central Magnet beat Macon 5-2 in the elimination tournament.  It's still early so who knows what will happen this year.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
