When we started this year alot of people said we would be lucky to win our district. Goodpasture lost 5 seniors after 2011 State Championship and some said this would be a rebuilding year. Well guess what the Lady Cougars made it back and played for their 10th state title only to come up short to a very talented Gibbs team. I am so proud of this team to go thru so much adversity at the beginning of the season and then to become a family with one heart beat is what perseverance is all about. Our two seniors are going to be missed not only as players but as positive role models for our younger players. Madelyn Hill and Brittany Elmore your leadership will be missed but you taught a few young ladies how to keep the tradition going. Goodpasture softball is not just a team but a family, and this family will keep the tradition going. Also what a warrior Mimi Cartwright is, she literally pitched 21 innings in 24 hours in the state tournament between Thursday night and Friday night, and carried this team on her right shoulder literally this year. Coaches Phillips, Cartwright, Spann, Blain, Peroni thank you for your countless hours of dedication and putting up with 12 teenage girls lol. I enjoyed this season and how the team came together and never doubted we would accomplish great things. Thanks for a great season and 2013 get ready for the Lady Cougars we will be back!

Congrats to Gibbs and their program. Your players, fans and coaches all have class. It was nice to see two of the best programs ever in the state square off against each other. 18 state championships between the two teams now. 9 for both! I know we will see you again next year.

If anyone knows would be appreciated

What a great game. I want to say that Gibbs fans, players, and coaches have alot of class. Don't count us Cougars out just yet. Hope to see you at 6 tomorrow night.

What a awesome game. I need to give you some money to take with you.lol. just want to say Gibbs fans has alot of class and their team and coaches do as well. I have to say the better team won on this night, but don't count us out Just yet!

I have to disagree don't board your plane just yet. I watched White house leave 8 stranded on the base and I left in the fourth. I think we will hit their pitcher she didn't impress me and White house put a bat on the ball just couldnt come thru in the clutch. Remember it was White House's first trip to state and they had those jitters. I will take Goodpasture and I believe it may be our best hitting performance this Tourney.

Congrats to Niki and the White House Blue Devils, I said it before and I will say it again our district is one of the best if not the best in the state. Good luck tomorrow and hopefully see you Thurs night.

Watched CAK tonight against Chester Co.They seem like a solid team. It looks like they are Young also very similar to us. Should be a good game but I am a little biased gonna give the edge to the Cougars only because experience at state. Hope we both play well and there are no injuries.

Goodpasture 8 East Hamilton 4

I don't have a young man on the baseball team, but my daughter plays softball for Goodpasture. I know the baseball team is loaded with talent and depth at pitching. It will be hard to beat them. Just my opinion but it is state anything can happen.

Your correct at this point it would be hard to say a team got upset, but if Soddy don't win the first game people will call it a upset, and it's only because they are here year in and year out. Just like alot of people think if Goodpasture don't win its a upset, but in reality all the teams here are good or else they wouldn't be here.

From what I seen East has given up more runs in games and I am guessing that is do to errors. I just don't see Uppermen beating Gibbs, but I maybe wrong. I say the edge goes to Goodpasture because they have been to this stage a few times, but they are young also so that could change the outcome also.

Well finally someone to get us started. I am Gonna take Goodpasture over East Hamilton because I believe they haven't seen a pitcher like Cartwright this year yet. Gonna take White House over Lexington don't think they can do well with Niki Fogle on the mound, and White House beat a very Solid Creek Wood team. Not sure on CAK vs Chester co but judging by teams they have both played this should be a good game,but judging by opponents gonna take CAK. And finally Gibbs over Upperman. Gibbs has alot of talent and beat Unicoi easily. Can't wait to see what happens after day one and who may have got upset. Hope everyone stays healthy and cherishes this moment.

Let's hear the predictions and why you think the team will win the State Championship. Congrats to all 8 teams and good luck!

If Niki and Mimi pitch the way they did against each other it will be a Cougar Vs Devil Championship
