Rhea is hosting the 5AAA district this year. I am sure that like every team they are wanting to play. But when does wanting to play over seed safety. We have gotten between 3-6 inches of rain in 4 days. It is hard for me to believe that a field can withstand that much pounding and be ready to go the next day. I don't believe there is enough dry that could take care of that? I just hope that if they play that it is safe and they are not just trying to get the games in. Have a feeling that the games are on!!!! /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

I am sure that Walker Valley is the favorite to win. Does anyone have a chance to knock them out. Maybe McMinn since they only lost 2 and that was to them. It is crazy how much better they are this year. I know that district is down but they are no longer the whipping boy of that district. /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

They just beat Rhea tonight 3-0 in 9 innings. they are 5-1 in the district and 9-2 overall. This team is playing like they are possessed. McMinn County softball is finally on the map and should be recognized more for what they are doing right now. And by the way they also beat Chattanooga Central 3-2 in the Tiger Classic in Athens but Central still says that they are undefeated which is crazy. Congrats to the Lady Cherokees!!!!!!!!! They deserve it!!!!!!!!!! /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

McMinn County Pitcher Brittany Rogers is 8-2 with an ERA. of .80 pitches every game for the Lady Cherokees and I believe she has thrown around 5 shutouts this year. Very good pitcher and works very hard to be that way. Also a really good hitter. /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

He sayed ballgame. After the third out of that inning. It was sixth inning I believe. He said we won I don't know why they would think it wasn't a game. Who knows???? /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

Chattanooga Central lost to Mcminn in the Tiger Classic in Athens the first weekend of the season. They played 5 or 6 innings and then the game was called because of weather. That is considered a full game the last time i checked but I guess the Central folks don't see it that way. In McMinn's books it is a W don't care what it is in Centrals book! /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

I understand what you are saying. I don't think that the coach has ever been worried about making people mad. I think that he has just not had a team like this and is learning how to win with them. McMinn County is not a hot bed for softball as you may well know so this team is probably alot different then what he has had in the past. I can tell though that everyone is loving it and the girls really seem to genuinly like each other and enjoy playing together. This is starting out to be a dream season for this team!!!!!!!!!!! /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

Hello Tribefan. Yes the Lady Cherokees have not always been the best at softball. And yes Olivia is a really good hitter and should have been on the all-district team the past 2 years. This year though doesn't seem to be about 1 player though. These girls are playing as a team and clicking on all cylinders right now. I have only seen 2 games but the two I have seen this team is one to reckon with. They can hit and they have a good pitcher in Britany Rogers. Their defense has improved tremendously the infield is like a steel curtain. B.M. at 3rd base has got a better arm than most boys. This team likes each other and is enjoying playing together. /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> GO LADY CHEROKEES KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!

I hear that Rhea is very good but who else in that district could be a sleeper team? /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />
