Who is new coach?

Looking like 9-A is going to win the State. Eagleville not scoring much but winning while Huntland doing everything well so far. Should be a great round six game tomorrow night weather permitting.

Eagleville definitely the favorite.

I am not really for a pitch count, but I do fear that this logic is flawed to some degree. The "natural motion" argument, although correct, doesn't account for "unnatural force" placed on the shoulder, elbow, etc. Coaches should pay more attention to pitch counts for kids and not overuse them. However, time off is also something that many softball pitchers do not get. In a calendar year a pitcher will go from high school (in Tennessee) preseason/practices/games to summer travel ball to fall travel ball all while still taking "lessons". Therein lies the problem.

Will totally agree with the year round problem. They need to play something else for a period of time.

Do not need a pitch count for softball. They can pitch every day without hurting arm. More likely to be mentally fatigued.

9-A is going to have a team go to the glass house in 23. Most of these teams return a lot of players. Fayetteville was so close to eliminating Wayne Co. in quarterfinal. 

CC very sound team. Not surprised with their success.

Again. The district/region decide on the venue, not the TSSAA, and they decide a year in advance typically.

The region puts up a couple of sites and TSSAA decides what is best. If all teams from one district win first round it can move back to district host.

Community with a great win at East Nashville. Region champs!

Great effort by MC without one of their best players. 

Cascade and East Nashville on a collision course.

Fayetteville playing best ball of season. Looking more like people thought they would.

All games went as expected in Region last night. Fayetteville with a great showing despite loss. Eagleville with a good showing as well. MC and Huntland with impressive wins.

Who wins both games tonight? 

Eagleville and Huntland

We have 7 teams.   Normal 1 gets a bye, 2 plays 7, 3 plays 6, 4 plays 5.

Bonehead bracket.   1 and 2 get a bye. 6 plays 7 to get to play 3 and 4 plays 5.   Not sure who came up with the bracket but the other coaches or administrators should have thrown a fit. 

Not stupid at all. Six team brackets always have two byes so why penalize top two when a district goes from six to seven teams. Totality agree with this bracket.

MC and Huntland in Championship with Eagleville and Fayetteville in consolation. Should be two great games.

Fayetteville with a solid win over Cornersville in play in game. All four teams left can win on a given night. 

When does tournament start?

Looks like : 

Fayetteville

MC

Cornersville

Eagleville

Huntland

Able to get out to Cascade last night for a very good high school game. Grundy County played tough all night and Cascade pulled out the win to clinch the 1 seed. 5 and 12 for Cascade are solid high school players. Very fun to watch you can tell they have played together for a while. Was able to peek in on Community and Forrest online some. Community pretty much handled them from start to finish. 1 for Community may be the best pure shooter I have seen in a long time. A friend of mine said he and his brother who I believe is a freshmen combined for 44 last night. Community is the 2 seed with Forest 3 and Grundy 4. Should be a fun district tourney for sure on the boys side. The girls is pretty one sided. Good luck to all teams and so thankful we have made it this far with no stoppages. The fans are very thankful as I am sure the players are. 

Cascade and Community in championship.

Tie breakers will be huge for 2-5 seedings. Depending on Tuesday night games, some teams could finish 2nd or 5th. 

Looks like the tournament is set with Fayetteville and Cornersville in play in game with winner facing Huntland. MC  and Eagleville face each other in 2-3 matchup. All teams are capable of winning on a given night.

Well the so called best coach in the state isn't doing very well at Tullahoma.... maybe he saw the handwriting on the wall at Macon 

I believe Tullahoma has won the district his first two years. Football success hurt them this year as many  played both.

Franklin County has hired some good coaches in Basketball, and Football, I hope they will be patient with them.  I thought they didn't give coach Mac McCurry enough time, but I think Coach Cunningham will do a good job in Football.

Coffee County will probably win there district, but will probably have to face Blackman in the regionals. Warren County is pretty good, and its a shame how far Shelbyville has fallen since Insell left.

I guess I'm old school, but I liked the old 8AAA. 

Insell wouldn't have won either if he had only local kids. Seems llke he had a losing season until he went out and got Grundy's best player. Recruiting wars are now in Rutherford County. Notice the fall of Riverdale.
