Its listed on Summertown's schedule as 6:00 PM. I'll check with the school this morning to see if it is 6:00 or 6:30.

Appreciate all of the kudos for Summertown - but there is alot of basketball yet to be played. Personally, last season, I thought was our best shot at a Gold Ball, but the late season injury to Tamia - with little time for some to learn new roles, caught up with us in the 'Boro. This year's team is a little deeper - and we have more Seniors (4) on the team than we have had in the past 6 years. Had only 2 Seniors last year and one each of the prior 2 years. We also have several younger players that just need time to get some experience. Hopefully we will come out on Saturday and play our kind of game against Forrest - we'll see.

I like your pick in A - but there is alot of basketball to be played. The Lady Eagles probably had their best shot last year, but injuries spoiled a date with destiny. That said, I still hope your prediction holds true, the girls and program deserve it for all of their hard work - but there is usually alot of luck required for a Gold Ball, as well.

Hey ptguard12, were you at the game last night ? Still trying to figure out who you is ......

Everyone saw this coming since Forrest was put in their cupcake district & region. They face no real competition until the Sub-State. True, Forrest won the State Tourn. But as for Forrest coming together after Christmas and being some kind of dominating team, that is ridiculous. Remember, S'town beat Forrest by 15 in the last 3 weeks of the season - it could have been by 25 or more if the dogs had not been called off. Sure, if if and buts were candy and nuts ..... it is also the truth. Congrats Forrest on the Gold Ball, but also get back down to earth and realize that it also took alot of luck and the stars lining-up correctly for it to happen. As for a repeat - I seriously doubt it.

I think the District is at Perry Co. this year - but may be Mt. Pleasant. Region is at Culleoka -

Mallory was a fantastic young lady and a tremendous athlete in both basketball and her first love, softball. Mallory's boyfriend, Calvin Zemer, remains in critical condition in Vanderbilt Hospital. Please keep Mallory's and Calvin's families and friends in your hearts and prayers during this horrible time.

Bad game by the Eagles - 5 errors - and never really got going. Good luck to Mckenzie - you'll need it against Minor.

Don't know why Wayne Co. did not recognize all 4 of their selectees at their banquet - obvious it was an oversight on someone's part. Wayne Co. did have 4 selectees - Emily Shull, Abby Creasy, Kalli Gower and Falisha Holt. All 4 were announced at the game and all 4 were on the list sent to the news media.

D-12A All District team (regular season - no All Tournament team) - Summertown - Mallory Scott (MVP), Beth Long, Emily Franks, Julie Walker, Kendra Davis, Allie Franks Collinwood - Jordan Martin, Charlee Hollis, Haley Thompson, Lacee Ray Wayne Co. - Emily Shull, Abby Creasy, Kalli Gower, Falisha Holt Mt. Pleasant - Laura Dugger, Samantha Stinnett Zion - Christy Bowers Clifton - Heather Ray Perry Co. - Courtney Treadwell, Edie Marshall

Coach Wyrick's overall record now stands at 500-226. His District record is 218-43. All covering a 27 year career - since the TSSAA began recognizing High School fast-pitch Softball as an official sport in 1980.

The coaches may claim they don't know who made it, but it is not a secret - I can assure you each coach knew, well ahead of time, who made it from their team.

First, there is no All-Tournament team. As was announced last night, there is only a Regular Season All-District Team. The format for the team is that each team is given a certain number of "spots" based on how they finished the season - 1st gets 5, 2nd gets 4, etc. (I know, I know, I know - I don't agree with this format either). The spots are then filled based on selection by the coaches. To be honest, normally the way it is done is that each coaching staff selects the ones they think should fill their number of spots from their team - so the Wayne Co. coaches selected their players.

Here is the Senior A-AA team - The A-AA team will be coached by Stephen Webb (Waverly), Bobby Wyrick (Summertown) and Donna Cobb (Giles County). Members of the squad are – Beth Long Summertown Mallory Scott Summertown Jesica Green Loretto Kristen Phillips Giles County Brittney Caldwell Creekwood Paige Lintz Marshall County Emily Ford Columbia Academy Daneka Hooper Forrest Jessica Yates East Robertson Bethany Lounden Marshall County Lauren Huddleston FRA Natalie Wessinger Goodpasture Traci Givens David Lipscomb

Yes it was definitely a torn ACL - plus cartilidge damage. Surgery has been scheduled for later this month.

For Greenfield - Alyse Page 17 pts Becky Atnip 16 pts For Summertown - Emily Franks 20 pts Jennifer Peterson 14 pts Beth Long 11 pts

Thanks Greenfieldfan - your team was very good, as well - made that post-season run just when you needed to. In today's game, your girls just kept bombing in those 3-pointers. Good job and great post-season run.

S'town - Emily Franks 20 pts 10 rebs 2 blocked shots Jennifer Peterson 12 pts 3 rebs 2 assists (6 of 6 FTs) Beth Long 11 pts (incl 3 for 4 treys) 5 rebs 1 assist 1 steal Haley Lovett 6 pts (6 of 10 FTs) Kayla Clark 5 pts (3 of 4 FTs) Mallory Scott 4 pts Allison Durham 3 pts (1 of 2 treys) Greenfield - Alyse Page 17 pts (5 of 9 treys) Becky Atnip 16 pts (2 of 7 treys) Keely Williams 8 pts (2 of 4 treys) Rhiannon Caudle 5 pts (1 of 4 treys) Annastashia Allen 4 pts (0 of 2 treys) Nicole Jones 2 pts Magan Cash 2 pts Greenfield tied a TSSAA state tournament record by hitting 10 treys in the game - which is what kept them in the game. Greenfield shot 40.4 % (21 of 52) from the field and 38.5 % (10 of 26) from 3 point range, and was 50% (2 of 4) from the free throw line. Summertown shot 51.4 % (19 of 37) from the field - only missing 2 shots (11 for 13) in the second half. The Lady Eagles shot 50 % (4 for 8) from 3-point range for the game - including 3 for 3 in the second half. The Lady Eagles shot 73.1% (19 of 26) from the free throw line - 8 of 8 in the first half. Congrats to the Lady Eagles !!!! You have gone further than any girls team in school history - and posted your 32nd W of the season !!!

I agree ballfanwm - Scott and Long may not put up alot of points, but their experience, toughness and hustle will be missed. Counting this year's seniors, the Lady Eagles have graduated only 4 starters (Corbin, Lovett, Long & Scott) over the past 3 seasons. We've always had a "young" team, but also an experienced team. Scott, Long & Franks were all starters for the 2004, 2005 and now 2006 State tourney teams - However, next season, the Lady Eagles will have more experienced Senior starters than they have had since 2002 - with Franks, Peterson, and Tucker starting, along with Jr. Haley Lovett - the 5th spot will be up for grabs between Durham, Clark, Newton and Smith.

Starting point guard tore her ACL in Region Semis. A key member of the team, but we still have others - it will be tougher without her, but not impossible.

She is fine and will be on the court tonight. Had a slight concussion and some cobwebs, but is good to go now.

Yes, torn ACL, some cartilidge damage and possibly some other ligament damage. Surgery scheduled for March 22nd (allowing time for the swelling to go down before operating). The Lady Eagles were a little slow out of the box tonight, as could be expected when you are learning new roles & responsibilities. Didn't get enough pressure on Vaughn at the point, or Bell from the perimeter in the first half, which kept Richland in the game (Bell had 4 treys in the first half - 18 of Richland's 26 points in the first half came from treys). Made the proper adjustments at the half and were able to pull out the victory. Richland, you can give Forrest fits - go in there with your heads held high and take it to them - hopefully Region 6 will have 2 representatives in the 'Boro.
