Proverbial

A truly outstanding player. An inside-outside threat who can run the floor. She'll thrive in coach Insell's system.

Merrick attended Motlow State this spring and, as far as I know, plans to play there next season. She did not play this season.

Final: Riverdale 9 Beech 1

Riverdale up 6-0 in the third. The catcher has a grand slam.

I think he's just wondering if they will be eligible for the region finals and substate. Reasonable question.

What developments?

Lots of good points on this thread, but I admit I'm a bit confused about the original post. How does having a basketball class in fourth period interfere with softball? Do they also practice softball during that period? If she simply doesn't want to fool with basketball at all right now, then that's a whole different matter.

Franklin County 3 Columbia 1 (Columbia eliminated) Shelbyville-Lawrence County game under way. 1-1 in the third.

Coffee County beat Tullahoma 4-1. Brycen Davis went the distance for Coffee County, and freshman Bradley Roepke went the distance for Tullahoma. Coffee County leading Columbia 6-0 after four. Estill for Coffee County. Horne knocked out for Columbia. Not sure who is pitching now.

Which is why I said behind Lincoln County next year....otherwise Coffee County could be up there with them with Vincent pitching.

As someone who has seen them all but doesn't have a dog in the hunt, I'd have to give a slight edge to Coffee County based on experience. Two talented, veteran pitchers and a large group of seniors (I think 7 on the field usually) who made it to the substate last year make this a team to be reckoned with at tournament time. Lincoln County has more than proven they can play with Coffee County. After all, they've beaten them twice already. If there is a chink in the armor for this very talented team, it is youth. Loaded with talented freshmen and sophomores. If they don't get tournament-itis but play the way they've played all season, they obviously are a threat to win it. Lawrence County has a veteran pitcher with the best off-speed stuff in the district. They are good. My only question about them is, do they know how good they are? There's a process a team goes through when it rises from near the bottom of the pack to near the top. What gets them finally over the top is belief that they can do it. If they believe, then I believe, too, and they are a legitimate threat to win it. I think there's an obvious divide between those three teams and the remainder of the district. While the rest have some strong points, there is a lot of youth in some key positions, and the pitching might not be quite at the level of the top three teams. They all have some young, up-and-coming pitchers, however, who could make the district a real horse race next year (behind Lincoln County, that is).

Does Columbia have a tarp on their field?

Six different starting pitchers in 12 district games. Gotta be some kind of record. Bizarre season to say the least.

Anybody know the score?

Anyone know the score of Wednesday night's game? It was a makeup from Tuesday night.
