Extremely weak??? I have been involved in High School Softball for over 20 years and never has single A softball been extremely weak! True some of the privates are moving up but this still leaves several strong teams in this division that have narrowly been eliminated by these teams in years past or teams like them and are capable of competing with strong AA and AAA schools. For example Middle Tennessee Substate Single A game scores:
Goodpasture- 2
Columbia Academy- 1
Davidson Academy- 5
Summertown- 4
I am using these game scores because I am from Middle Tennessee. I am sure there are also good teams remaining Single A from East and West Tennessee. Columbia Academy and Summertown will remain Single A next year and both teams are returning nearly everyone. That is not to say that they will automatically slide into the State next year because they too will be faced with tough competition in District, Region, and Substate play, if fortunate enough to make it to this level of post season play.
