I dont think that there is any way to debate who is the best pitcher in the state based on highschool state tournament results or highschool play in general. To put it bluntly there are some BAD teams in highschool that quite frankly Lisa Fernandez could not win a ball game with. There are not many pitchers who would lose with perfect defense behind them, while there are some outstanding pitchers who cant do much with a team who has an average fielding % under 800. The teams are to unbalanced to be able to judge a pitcher by final outcome of highschool games. Quite frankly some of the top pitchers in the state were not even in Chattanooga for the Spring Fling Tournament. Sara Meek in my opinion is deffineatly one of the states to pitchers, but there are several comprable to her. But thanks to Cheri Kempf there are many pitchers in the state of Tennessee who are better than the highschool team they are on, the TSSAA state tournament was not nescessarily won by the top pitchers in the state of Tennessee, but by the best teams.
