Again I do not now anyone from either team, I have just been reading the web site.... Both teams should play their hearts out/ and honestly want it whom ever that will be will prevail and be in Murfreesboro on Tuesday "even if they are the first team to go home"

You are right !!! Not everyone likes the strike zone or something, But by reading last year and this year it looks to me like all Unicoi's "and I repeat Unicoi's only" big games seem to have a judgement call from a Umpire to win the game,a game should not always end like that !!! obviously something is wrong when it happens every big game "and expecially when all those games have been at Unicoi Co" We will have to wait Until Saturday to see which team will prevail. If they have not home cookin I now whom will prevail.......

Alot more than one...

Its not all about the Seniors !! Gibbs have definitation they have some senior but they have the desire...They believe in one another and if that batter hits to rt field or left or center, that catcher and that pitcher are for sure it will be caught, for Gibbs its a team thing. I think one of your seniors was one of a very few that hit the pitcher from last year is that right? Are saying Rutledge has more Seniors this year so next year they will not be as strong. Have you seen them play this year? They have stayed strong in clutch situations even when they have gotten beat they seem to say its a team disappointment and they work on it as a team improvement Gibbs beat Rutledge last year was it 8-? to that affect I think they won by 6 or seven runs I will have to get my paper out. But I am pretty sure Gibbs only has 3 seniors and all the rest are experienced players.. If Gibbs gets beat it will be a learning experience for everyone to improve on next year By looking at Prep-xtra it looks like Rutledge has not played alot this year. Does Rutledge do pre-season tournaments?

Have seen Alcoa play they have a great Offense and defense. But I have heard if you go to Unicoi Co the Umpires and the wins that cause the Win or Lose to another team. Why does Unicoi Co not get Umpires from other Areas. I heard at the Gibbs/Rutledge game tonight the Umpires are coming from Chattanogga (an Official Umpire told me that) because the home team gets to call the Umpires so maybe all the Unicoi's state appreanse have come from Umpires considering they are the top team to GO HOME every year !!! Maybe this year someone whom can win some State games will go....

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ALCOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I think Alcoa will do it !!! Good luck Brittany and Erika, I hope to say the same to Sabra but she does not if she can play yet !!! Good Luck ladies we all have our fingers crossed for you guys. You deserve this win !!!

I really like that !! That is really funny !!!

Did Rutledge and Gibbs play in the Substate last year?

We Hope to see Alcoa go to State this year, (they have played well and deserve it) I think they are one of the best teams in the State we now they have the best homerun hitter. " Good Luck Alcoa

Gibbs Lady Eagles Welcome the "Blue Crew" we like the noise !!!! I think the Eagles will prevail if they keep playing like they can, we have to keep hitting and still a error-free defense...... Lady Eagles are ready to go to STATE but we dont want to count our chickens before they hatch. GO LADY EAGLES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gibbs defeated CAK 9-2

I would like to know any new updates predictions for 2a or 3a teams. Looks like it is a close race, all teams are getting better !!!

I have seen 4 broken bats this season, Does anyone now the reason and why these bats are breaking? Seen Rockettech the the new yellow bat

hey where did fridays schedule go

Both teams played great !!! Brittany pitched an awesome game (only 1 wild pitch the whole game) Brittany you did a great JOB !!!! We hope to represent the 2A will be Alcoa VS Gibbs @ the State Level. Good Job Alcoa/Gibbs

Did you have the pool games for Friday Night Yet ????

[/color] I hope Gibbs will fair in this game. Gibbs has been preparing hard for the district playing the best teams in the best tournaments before the district begins. Both of these teams are good and are well respected teams but someone has to lose. Lets just hope they Both get to State this year......

Brittany Hollifield-Plays for Alcoa (not sure what summer team) but she is an awesome pitcher, she has speed and control and has made a huge Impact on the success of her High School team-She is a Senior this year and signed with Coastal Carolina already. Have heard of the other girls but can not comment not seen alot of either.

Natalie Haun with Seymour is an excellant slap hitter !!! and can run fast !!!

Their are alot of good players in the area !! Powell-Heather Broyles (pitcher, great locations, hard to hit) Sarah Sutpin (pitcher, great speed, out due to grades & attendance) Cassidy Skeen (all around great athlete, speed, great hitter, and never misses a fly ball, can bunt or hit) Alcoa-Brittney Hollifield (awesome pitcher, I hope we survive her 1 more yr) Karns-Lauren Varsolona (pitcher) Kristen Kirk (great cather and awesome hitter) Halls-Sasha Russell (great lefty pitcher) Central-Candice Irwin (Awesome pitcher, great hitter) Seymour-Cheri Monday (great pitcher, power hitter) Gibbs-Whitney Kee (short stop, big stick) Kristen Delapp (great on base precentage, great fielder) Alicia Mcclintock (great catcher, good stick, great leader) Ashley Goodson & Danielle Thomas (great pitching duo)

No my daughter played @ Holston and Travel Ball, But the girls in high school are coming by with more talent than ever seen before, the pitches are al-together good and the catchers are all good, they are along the same level of play. My daughter played for Thunder. The situation with Halls I do not now I just now they are short some very awesome girls that are not on the team.

Knoxville Softball is more evenly now than they have ever been b/c of all the girls we have played travel ball or league ball, again compare to travel ball, High School softball does not compare to the competition level per team that travel ball does. I have not seen Halls play they can not say, I can say they did lose alot of key players when they did not make/or tryout for the team. We will have to wait and see what they have to offer. Powell has a good team, at this time they are down to one pitcher, which she is holding her own and doing well watched her pitch this past weekend. Great Job Heather. As far as scrimmage and playdays go, we played everyone on our roster almost everygame and when it comes to true play we all now that is not how it works and it is so hard to compare so when everyone starts to play this month we can make comparsions. I think Powell will prevail in their district again this year if they get their other pitcher back. Gibbs I think will prevail having to try to hold off a solid Alcoa and Seymour. Good luck to all schools in the area.

Who made the blount Co team? Would you tell us please?

Britti Hobbie (Gibbs High) -1st basemen signed to Walter State
