Bledsoe did that to Greta a few years ago. Another great person that loved her players and had built a solid program. When people think of some of the best Chattanooga HS softball coaches of the last 15 years; they think of Clifford, Norma, and Cranover.

Coach Nelson is a great lady. I loved my time being her student teacher and am very thankful she gave me a chance to help with her 97 runner-up team. She allowed me to coach 18 under with her and I was hired to coach @ Bradley Jr/Ocoee Middle upon her recommendation. This eventually led to my hiring for the Walker Valley job. We had many great games vs. each other during my nine years @ WV. Unfortunately, my last game coaching was a 10 inning 2-1 loss that kept us from going to Region. However, the pain wasn't as bad knowing I lost to my softball mentor. Keep your head held high Norma. Many kids have had the fortune to call you coach, I had the benefit of calling you FRIEND!

Thanks, good luck this season.

Did Edwards pitch in the 5-1 loss vs. Walker Valley and give up the bomb to Hooper? I wasn't there and was just curious.

Let's go Walker Valley!

Great defensive game last night between Walker Valley and Soddy Daisy. A Walker Valley win would have given them the number 1 seed going into the tournament. Nunnely brought her "A" game as did WV's Hooper. Soddy got a single in the top of the 7th and advanced the runner on a sac bunt. The next batter hit another grounder out of the infield with the runner taking second on a throw from the outfield to hold the runner at third. This was followed by a failed squeeze attempt. With two outs and runners at second and third, Soddy hit another grounder up the middle bringing in the only run of the game. Hooper led off the bottom of the seventh w/a shot to right field. Originally called safe after beating the throw to third, the umpire changed his call. Hard to tell from my angle how he changed it but he did. Soddy will be number 1 seed and a victory tonight for WV will give them the number 2. Should be a great tournament with Soddy, WV and Ooltewah giving it their all to advance in the post season. Good luck to all three teams.

Laurel Allen, centerfielder from Walker Valley, signed to play with Lee University last week.

East Hamilton won the Silver.

Congrats to Ooltewah for winning the tournament this weekend and keeping the championship in Chatt.

Congrats to Walker Valley on their 10-1 vs. Farragut and their 1-0 win vs. CSAS today. Center fielder Laurel Allen hit a grand slam in the first game. Good luck at 6pm.

Thanks tnsoftball and Indian. Everyone that knows me knows I left to spend more time with my family and it was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I miss the kids and the game more than anyone can imagine. However, my beautiful wife and my wonderful kids needed to come first. His lies are done for the season unless he comes back under a new name. I left the new coach with plenty of great players and several more coming up from my middle school team next year. Keep up the good work ladies.
