  2. Double no-hitter in Independence vs. Bartlett game

    in Baseball

    Posted · Edited by MTSN

    So, on Thursday, Independence beat Bartlett 1-0, but it was a double no-hitter. According to the Eagles' GameChanger, they [Indy] made the only error of the game, so, how did they end up scoring their one run? Bases loaded walk? Anyone know?

    The pitchers were Harrison Cowdrey (Indy), and Miles Harper (Bartlett).

  4. Brenda Morris steps down as LaVergne head coach

    So, reviving a topic that hasn't had a post in over a year to say that Shawn DiGianfelice has, shockingly, stepped away from the LaVergne coaching position after just one season to teach special education at Rock Springs Middle. Jessica Hampton is now the head softball coach at LaVergne. DiGianfelice had big plans to try and make LaVergne a contender, with developing pitching being a top priority. Wonder what happened?

    Another District 7-AAA coaching change that was rather surprising: Steve Wilder retired from coaching the Rockvale program to focus on his hitting facility in Manchester, so Falon Catalano has been promoted to head coach. That means she had to step down as volleyball head coach, where she will be replaced by Cody Burton.

  12. Big coaching changes in Class AAA

    in Softball

    Shawn Middleton is the new head coach at Siegel, taking over from Perry Lyons, who decided to take the job at the new Rocky Fork Middle in Smyrna for family reasons (his mother is sick).

     

    Melissa Weiland has left Independence to become the new head coach at Wilson Central, and taking her place at Independence is...Shane Buchanan, who leaves Dickson County after 22 years and three state championships.

     

    Quite the coaching roulette to start the offseason. And not only is the Dickson job needing to be filled, so is the Coffee County one.

    Been forgetting to post this, but, we have a good race developing in RuCo. As always, weekend regular season tournament info is not entered until the week of.

    Both documents have a link to the other, so, you can open up one, and then the other, without having to come back to this thread.

  15. Softball Midstate who is favored? Road to Murf AAA,AA,A DIV2 AA,A

    AAA is certainly a headscratcher. Dickson, Siegel, Oakland, and Gibbs, among others, graduated their ace pitchers last year. I don't know if anybody really stands out at the moment. Stewarts Creek will likely make it back to State; Clarksville, too. But who else? Coffee? Wilson Central? Someone unexpected like Blackman? Might Soddy make it back? What about Ooltewah? Their ace pitcher is only a junior, but she didn't have any bats around her last year; that's why they fell one round short of the promised land.

     

    I don't think the picture will be very clear until at least early April. Not to me, anyway.

     

    (And yeah, I know you said Midstate, but I'm looking at the bigger picture.)

  18. Siegel Home Field Advantage

    Lavergne High School is not a good site.  Seating for fans is inadequate.  The men's restrooms were porta-pots.  Ridiculous.

    Not to mention, the press box has terrible sight lines. You have to crouch down to see a fly ball, the ceiling is so low, and there's no way to work outside if you're a broadcaster, because the bleachers are right next to the press box on both sides.

  19. 4 classes in baseball?

    in Baseball

    A lot of wasted effort. No chance they go to four classes in baseball/softball. They don't make any money off them and do not want to extend them any longer due to daily costs. This is why they want to only bring 4 teams, to keep the days they pay rent at a minimum. Sad but true. MTSU has become increasingly proud of its facilities and the compensation they expect.

     

    Also, how come nobody cares that softball chanpionships are played on temporary fences at a rec park instead of  the MTSU stadium?

     

    Let's face it. Football has 8 classes right now and will have 9 after the reclassification when most the  remaining D1 privates go D2. D2 will regain their middle division like they used to have at the beginning of the split. Book it. Football runs everything. That is where their $$$ comes from.

    I have heard from Matthew Gillespie (TSSAA Assistant Executive Director, the guy who handles media credentials for TSSAA championship events) that the reason they don't hold the softball championships at MTSU is because all five of those tournaments have an "If Necessary" game to decide their champions.

     

    It would be a simple solution for Division II - just hold both games on Thursday, and rotate. If Division II-A needs its "If Necessary", play it after Division II-AA's (possibly first) championship game.

     

    But Division I softball would need to go to the same kind of bracket D-I baseball uses, with the eight teams split into two brackets of four, each with their own Losers' Bracket. (I'd actually prefer that.)

    If Blackman had beaten Riverdale on Tuesday, they and Stewarts Creek would've finished the regular season tied at 6-6. Since they split their regular season games, they would've had to go to the second tiebreaker, which is "Record against seeded teams". I'm not sure how that one would've worked out, because they were both swept by Oakland and Siegel; they both swept LaVergne; but Stewarts Creek split with Smyrna, whereas Blackman swept Smyrna; and Blackman would've split with Riverdale, whereas Stewarts Creek swept the Lady Warriors. Glad the tiebreakers were the ones you could easily figure out.

    Here is a link to the district standings, and a composite schedule, just like what David Limbaugh puts together for baseball:

    I usually add in tournament information the night before tournaments start, since those schedules can always change (weather, teams dropping out, etc.).

     

    This week, Rounds 6 and 7 of district play will take place. Riverdale will play in the TSCA Tournament this weekend, while the other 7-AAA teams will be concentrating on the RuCo JV Tournament.
