  1. They may say no, but worth asking....maybe SunTrust would take a name, address, and shirt size from donars. If they could put it in their system somehow, it would be available for you to pick up from SunTrust
  2. ERA makes some good points. The small communities suffer as does the HS coaches/programs who support and encourage player skill development outside of the "official" TSSAA season. Maybe we will not have to be concerned about this issue (and other silly anti-human rights rules) as a Supreme Court decision in BA's favor will bankrupt TSSAA. One has to wonder how the suit got so far along. Common sense should have taken over at some point. I guess it doesn't matter when egos are large and you're jeopardizing someone else's money.
  3. IMO, the primary goal of the TSSAA is to provide a level field of play for all their member schools. The student athlete is the pawn. You will know that the TSSAA truely cares about developing athletes when there is an athlete representative for each sport on the board of the TSSAA.
  4. ERA, That was a great post! You have a right to be very proud. Now as far as college teams and playing HS softball in the fall.... It is a competitive world. The competition is not limited to our particular little corner in Tennessee. Why is it that most colleges are going after players from the sunshine states? THESE PLAYERS HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE! THEY HAVE MORE PLAYING TIME! Does this matter to the TSSAA or to the local school administrators. No. Why not? Because all they are concerned about is following the established rules, reducing conflicts, and leveling the school ball playing field. It is not TSSAA's concern whether or not your little Susie or Johnny gets a college scholarship. IMO, TSSAA should have student/athlete representation to give the athletes a voice, but that's for a different thread. To summarize, to be competitive you need to play as much as possible. The best chance for good weather is in the fall. In Tennessee we are already behind because of our winters and the wet spring weather. I guess the serious baseball and softball players could move to California or Arizona.
  5. std, I agree...I can only speak about what happened at the Fling in 2002........but the "Ceremony" consisted of the Coach being handed a plaque.....oh yea, the Coach did get the poster board bracket that had been on the bulletin board.......the GIRLS didn't get ANYTHING! And as for missing Graduation.....my daughter and her senior teammates missed Graduation.....when we found out they would be playing and not able to make Graduation......one of our sophomores Dad's drove home that day.......got their caps, gowns and diplomas and had them at the game that night...after the game the girls put their caps and gowns on over dirty ball uniforms and we had Graduation......Coach presented each girl their diploma at home plate.......they wouldn't have had it any other way. My daughter had said all along, she didn't intend to be at Graduation, she planned to be wining a State Championship! Ms. Dropball
  6. Dickson County game is on the Radio...... WDKN 1260 AM

    Tssaa Bracket

    For some reason TSSAA hasn't updated the AAA bracket Someone correct me if I'm wrong Beech vs Soddy Dickson Co. vs Farragut Knox Central vs Collierville Germantown vs Blackman
  8. Way to go Creekwood (AA) and Dickson County High (AAA). Hard to imagine two teams from the same County going to State in the same year. Who would have thunk it? Good Luck to you both.
  9. I thought Goodloe was from Lick Skillet?
  10. I know Dickson County made it to the finals versus Jackson Central Mary. Did Dickson County win? Was the surprise of the evening....Waverly over Goodpasture? Great weather, good facilities, and some very good games.
  11. Why couldn't you "let it go" with the first six sentences? That would have been very positive statements for a good program. The truth of the matter is, Dickson County probably beat your team and you have some sour grapes. If you are truly upset about vulgar fans, why bring Dickson, or any particular team, into it? Dickson County doesn't have a lock on vulgar fans. Your motives are clear. Dickson whipped your tail and you have to trash them with the poor behavior association. Shame on you! Trust me, you could have made your point without mentioning a particular team. You could have been been above the negativity by just posting the first six sentences. But, you didn't .....
  12. Is it time to bring back the "Softball in the Fall" thread?
  13. A full house in Dickson got their monies worth tonight. What a great game between two great teams. It went 10 innings. Both pitchers pitched super! With Dickson's pitcher only a soph., look out for them next year. Good luck to Hickman County in the State!
  14. Great new ladies...we're all proud of you !!
