What did the coach do?

Don't get me wrong, Lindsey is a great pitcher. She is one of the best in East TN if not the best. However if you look at her as an overall player, I'm not sure her stats are correct on unapproved website. I was a parent at the wartburg games. Wartburg is a team that has been terrible for years. They had a decent pitcher and a couple mediocre players but other than that they were not very good. (hopefully with the new coach this will change). Back to Lindsey though, in regular season, she was 1-8 against wartburg batting and not much better in the tournament. Looks like shes got a lot of improving to do before college comes as an overall athlete. I think she will do ok, just hope she sticks with it unlike most of the Morgan county athletes that are back home before people even realize theyre gone.

She is not going to Marshall as a hitter. She is going as pitcher.

MerriAnne Patterson is not a 2012 signee. She is committed for 2013.

Is Katie Henderson still pitching at Silverdale??

Madison Boyd- GPS- ETSU

Taylor Gullett- Coffee Co.- UT Martin

What are the times for the camp?

Only 20 spots left.

Do you have an updated list of the college coaches who will be working the camp?

Anyone have a bracket or a link to bracket?

Or at least a team list?

Didn't end up getting to go. Who won the tournament?

Can someone tell me the name of the park where this tournament will be held? Or have an address?

Thanks

Well the Knoxville Lady Aces Already have their berth by finishing Second at the 16U Northern Nationals in Bowling Green.

 

There will actually be 6 berths. the original four and two for hosting the Nationals.

 

The teams most in the hunt (in no particular order) are:

 

Mustangs

Nashville Cruisers

Fury 94

Fury 95

Chattanooga Force

Cyclones

Firebirds

I think the Cruisers might be playing 18-Gold this summer.

How did the 16-under ASA State go? Who won? Qualified? etc...?

Team Worth Gold is very good and very talented.

But come on, playing in an "exposure" tournament in Clarksville and Virginia Beach????????

I have heard they are not playing any qualifiers. But, I also heard they are going to go to a couple of Premier Qualifiers.

I really was looking forward to them playing ASA Gold because I thought they would do well.

So who won the berth this weekend?

 

Thunder 93 beat Chattanooga Fury 94 2 times with the score of 3-1 to win the berth out of the loosers bracket. Does anyone know who put Thunder into the loosers bracket? The bracket wasnt filled out completly the last time I checked.

 

That seems to be a pattern this year. A Fury team being beaten twice by a team out of the loosers bracket.

 

 

Dont get me wrong WonderTwin, I was just saying he was the only coach that I knew of in Tennessee that coached college ball. I wasn't saying that synergy wasn't a Tennessee team, just the oppisite.

 

Thunder 93 also has an ex-college coach on the field.

Who is coching the Thunder 93?

Thanks for the tremendous insight Dore!!

Good point regarding facilities. The Gold Diamond Showcase is played at a far superior facilty. The Warner Park fields are top notch. The park consists of five fastpitch softball fields with permanent fences and warning tracks as well as a full fledged stadium. That makes for a total of six fields right there together that are strictly fastpitch fields.

Gold Diamond has better depth of teams from top to bottom.

This tournament has been going 'down' for several years.

It is NOWHERE near the quality that it once was.

Sad!

Alex Everett, IF, Soddy Daisy I feel should be on the list. Not going to bash any of the one son the list but I feel like she had a better season than several of the ones you have on there.

Soddy Daisy and Riverdale.

Beech and Ravenwood.

Clifford Kirk is a good coach and has done a great job for a long time.

There have been many SD players go on to play college ball. An interesting tidbit is how many of them come back home and stop playing. Not many of them play four years. Some of the ones who do transfer closer to home before finishing up.

Does anyone know a schedule for the tournament.

Or at least what time the first game is?

I agree Hooper from Walker Valley, Baxter and Pickett from Marion County will all be strong players.

Chernak at Ooltewah is going to be a ver good player in her four years as well.

Maybe I should rephrase, I am proud our daughter plays for Micheal Connell (Worth Gold), dont know any of the other Worth teams or coaches. Cant speak for them. And Div 1 would be UT Knox, UT Martin, UT Chatt, Lipscomb, MTSU, Tenn Tech, Louisville, All pretty good programs in my opinion.Top

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would be honored if my daughter has the chance to play for any of these programs.

Fagan (Cornersville), Nunley (Soddy Daisy), and Renfroe (Trinity) are three of the best I think.

Vincent is good but not in the category of the three I listed. Hoadwonic (sp) is good but not in the same category.
