From the East, Alcoa moves up to 3A. Just gets more competitive as the sport continues to grow. MLB has invested heavily in the new Athletes Unlimited Softball League which begins its inaugural season on June 7 with games on ESPN & MLB Network.
Liberty Creek of Gallatin moves from 2A to 3A and probably be 4A before long, ranked as No. 1 softball team overall in TN and named top public high school in Sumner County. Believe the catcher is from Portland and also had a transfer from Beech. Have a team strength coach. Dominated 2A now to 3A.
Big changes in 3A as District 12 from Region 6 becomes District 14 in Region 7. Region 7 will be a fight among Dyer Co., Crockett Co., S. Gibson, Lexington, McNairy, etc.. Covington from Region 8 is also on the rise.
McNairy returns everyone except for senior catcher.
Lexington will miss Bartholomew in centerfield but returns lots of talent.
Crockett looses 3 key seniors but returns plenty along with their pitching.
Dyer looses one key senior but returns lots along with the young pitcher.
S. Gibson always seems to be in the mix.
Covington returns lots of young talent with the young pitcher.
Other classes :
Adamsville returns everyone.
H.R.-Bruceton returns lots including pitching.
Others ? All info and opinions are welcome.
