Those girls at Red Bank couldn't win for losing this weekend.
The Red Bank Invitational softball tournament had been planned for this weekend before plans had to be scrapped after several teams had to pull out in order to makeup rained out district games.
Red Bank coach Mandi Munn eventually made plans for her Lionettes to play Sequatchie County in a doubleheader Saturday night and even those plans got wrecked when lightning, thunder and heavy rains moved in during the bottom of the second inning.
Red Bank had scored two unearned runs in the bottom of the first and were leading 2-0 with two outs in the bottom of the second when play was suspended by lightning.
Shortly after, heavy rains turned the softball and adjacent soccer fields into small lakes and the Plan B ideas had to be scrapped.
Red Bank will enter play as the second seeded team in the District 6-AA tournament next weekend at Hixson while Sequatchie County will also be the second seed in its District 7-AA tournament, which will be played at the higher seeds before the semifinal and championship action move to Chattanooga Christian, the top-seeded team in the tournament.
