in my area, ill say soddy at rhea co. should be a traditional hard hitting emotional game.

Hard to argue against Scott Parrot QB out of Soddy. His completion % is quite staggering thru 2 games. The performance he put on at william blount was amazing. Throw on the run sit in the pocket, he can do it all with outstanding touch on the deep ball

hahahahahahaha

lol just bustin your chops. Summer ball is finally here. Alisha has ben pitching well the last month and just didn't have near her best stuff this whole week.

sdsoftball12, such as maybe you are in that fan category, seems every post you've had as of late seems to wanna dog other teams and start some feuding. The true sd fan shall not bash another team for not having as much talent as sd. In closing the only fan being classless is you my friend! I say good luck to all teams left, i give the slight edge to ooltewah but its a toss up from here on out!

here's some truth. Soddy won one tourney last year, also they lost 5 games in a row at beech play day. the year before that they didn't win a tourney. But i beleive they did one the tournament that counted the most! side note: the last four year noone picked soddy to make it to the state champ game. Will they make it this year?? eh maybe if they get lucky, we lost at least 8 1-0 ball games where we had runners on 2 and 3 with less that two outs, so anything could happen.clarification: runners on 2 and 3 more than once in the ball game

ooltewah 7-1

the girls take nothing for granted, they know that it is one game at a time and next is Lawrence County........someone has read the morning paper.

i wasn't referring to coffee winning as an upset. If you make it to sectionals you played your way there and deserve it. There is no doubt they arent a fluke. my apologies for that misunderstanding

The road to state always rolls through chattanooga the district soddy is in is tough but soddy plays every high powered team in chattanooga(which there is one on every corner), so the level of competition isn't as great in the mid state besides your obvious teams. Go and take a look at the mid states track record against chatt teams in AAA its not so good. If soddy is to win tomorrow then there could possibly be another state title game with two teams from the same district( soddy and ooltewah). Soddy has been 6 of the last 8 championship games i beleive including 4 in a row. i just don't think anyone plays the quality competition that soddy or ooltewah plays on a year after yea basis and it shows.

another thing, home field in softball is about as good as home field in college basketball. There's not a whole lot of emphasis on it and i really don't think the girls care, there are hardly ever any true upsets in softball. 95% of the time the best team is gonna win, no matter where the game is played.

i would take condra's word for it, hes an orange wearing sports genius

Lets think about this for a minute, soddy plays in the toughest region and district in the state, noone likes them and if a team doesn't get much fan support, well theyll all come out of the wood works when they play soddy. Everywhere they go its a hostle environment. Playing in big games year after year its just not an issue with them. The pitcher for sure isn't gonna get rattled, if anything she might just laugh it off. Thats the kind of personality she has. This is a team that loves to play and have fun, they play for big games and crowds like this.

Soddy is very very young. Clifford seems to have a "knack" for getting his girls ready to go to the state tournament. The girls are swinging the bat and hitting the ball the best they have all year, they just cant get any luck. A bad bad strike here and there a a line drive off the pitchers leg that goes right to the first baseman for out 3. You name it its happened over the last 3 weeks, especially against ooltewah, in games that have been decided by fluke plays bad officiating(for both sides) and errors. Soddy HAS TO MOVE RUNNERS. they can not continue to have runners on with no outs and not be able to put a bunt down or at least chop something in the dirt. Alisha is on her a game defense has to step up and not take any plays off. Im hoping for a good game and hpoefully, the field will be dried up and ready to go.

Any thoughts on this one? We usually play coffee one a year in mid season tournements but havent seen them this year. Its a sectional game im sure it will be tough for both sides.
