According to the TSSAA website, Regional Semi-Finals will be May 12, Regional Finals on May 14, and May 16 will be the Sectionals with the winners of the Sectionals advancing to the State which will be from May 20 through May 23.

The fields that are used are SDHS/SDMS home field and the Boys' baseball fields. The fifth field will be at the Girls' softball fields which are just next door.

Alesha Buckner (Junior), Crimson Robinson (Freshman), Amelia Putnam (Freshman) and Kayla Weaver (Freshman) have all been throwing.

I don't post replies very often. I did a quick reply earlier that didn't show up. But I was also at the game and wanted to respond to ERA. Your first baseman pulled her foot. Clifford did not have to argue and argue. As soon as he asked for help from the home plate umpire, the umpire immediately called her out without hesitation. The call at second base was close. I do know that the umpire was standing right there at the base and had alot better look at it than anyone in the stands could have so I will leave that there. As far as scoring on "infield bouncy things", I believe a hit is a hit and if it advances a runner or scores a run then it is as good as a line drive. Now to the switching runners at the top of the 10th. In the ninth inning no 21 was involved in a collision with Riverdale's second baseman and no 1 was entered to run for her. (Number 12 was never even in question.) When Soddy Daisy came up to bat, no 21 was reentered and took her place at 2nd base. (And actually no 1 is a lot faster runner than 21 is.) About the umpires, they were from Knoxville. One Soddy Daisy fan overhead a conversation in the restroom where Riverdale fans were even saying that one of the umpire's had a daughter on the Soddy Daisy team. I think I know all the parents of the softball players from Soddy Daisy and I can most assuredly respond that their dads' were not umpiring. Last night's game was probably the most exciting softball game I have witnessed in my life. I think that it is a shame that this game was played in a Sectional instead of the State because both of the teams deserve to be playing in the State. Good Luck to the Lady Trojans at the State.

Does anyone know where there is a listing of state softball records of any nature? By the way Katie Blevins of Soddy Daisy has hit 9 home runs this season (with a high school career total of 39).

Soddy followed up with a 13-0 win over East Ridge on Tuesday and an 8-0 win over Red Bank Wednesday.

This season Soddy has lost 3 games. They lost to Ider, AL (Score 1-2), to Grissom,Al (Score 0-1) in the Bob Jones Tournament, and then to GPS (Score 2-3) in the Lady Trojans Tournament.

As far as I know, she is the only pitcher. Her parents ended up taking her to Birmingham to have her eye checked out. From what I hear, she has a bruised retina and they will be keeping her eye dilated for a few days but it seems that everything should be okay.

Soddy Daisy 6 - Red Bank 3

I just know Soddy Daisy scores. In pool play, Soddy Daisy beat Sparkman, AL 2-1 (Nikki Waters pitching) In tournament play, Soddy Daisy beat Gracon County, AL 7-3 (Stacey Fairbanks pitching), Soddy Daisy beat Alabama Christain Academy 4-0 (Nikki Waters pitching), Soddy Daisy beat Union County, KY 7-1 (Alesha Buckner pitching), then we were put out by Grissom, AL 1-0 (Stacey Faibanks pitching), so Soddy Daisy Lady Trojans came in 3rd place.
