You have made your parents, family, friends, school, town, and surrounding area very proud of how you represented all of us. You never quit and accomplished something that has never been done in any sport at Cherokee High School history!!! Keep up the great ball playing..... we all hope to hear big things from your futures!!!

Wow.....you're smart statman!!! You can tell it is raining outside and you can't be at the field!!!!

Volunteer....Wednesday night at West

Mr. Statman...I thank you and Kristen thanks you and big daddy thanks you. It has been great!!! This group of girls that Kristen got to finish her senior year with mean the world to us!!! We will keep up with all of them and are sure we will be hearing big things from them all...whether it be on the diamond or something else. You tell Ms. Whitney that Kristen has now handed that torch to her....(even if she earned it long before now) and for her to keep up the good work and break any records ever set at Cherokee. Tell her that change up is wrapped up and waiting for her to grab it (she can do it!!!). To all the Lady Chiefs......The Dyer's love everyone of you and will miss seeing, hearing and hugging you all...but remember we are watching and wanting you to go ALL THE WAY NEXT YEAR!!!! To Almeda, Charlie, and Kelli....THANK YOU for 4 great years....we have had our ups and downs...but it has been the experience that you three have allowed Kristen to have that has helped shape her into the young lady she is today.....and I do have to say that is one GREAT LADY!!!! To ALL her IMAC opponnents... WOW what can I say...you all have been the best competitiion that any pitcher could ask for....it is the fact of pitching and playing against that GREAT competiiton that has also shaped Kristen into a player that is able to compete at the next level. To those of you that have a special place in our heart and you know who you are...we will be looking and listening for great things....and don't be surprised to see those Dyer's in the stands supporting you. Best for last.....GOD...thank you for Kristens health, heart, desire, talent and ALL things you have given us!!!!! Now all that being said.............................................GO TROJANS!!!........................Represent the IMAC!!!!!!!! GO LADY CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will tell you.....ALMEDA is pitching and you all better watch out...she has an evil curve!!!!!!

Thank you for the support!!!!! No matter the turn out I hope the IMAC represents in regions and STATE!!!!!

Science Hill won...either 3 to 1 or 4 to 1

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! To my pick for the BEST catcher in the IMAC!!! Great job Kaela...you deserve it!!!! Can't wait to see you in action up there.

But -- beware of the Lady Canes! Lance knows all!! Does Lance know who won the toss yet?

Yeah Lance...lets hear it!!!!

Anyone know the score of the Morristown East/ Rutledge game???

Cherokee/East postponed...rescheduled for Monday.

No harm taken...just loving the fact that the IMAC is full of great players and teams that cause the opinionated to step up!!!!! These coin flips are becoming second nature for the IMAC.....YOU GOT TO LOVE IT!!!!!

First I want everyone to understand that what I put on here is merely my OPINION and/or PREDICTION (Lance).....and by the way I love any opportunity to voice my opinion!!!! Which most of you could and/or should care less about. I did say that Gilbert MIGHT be unhittable by her senior year. As we know a good pitcher learns the most from game experience and MY OPINION is that the more games she pitches the more she will mature and learn. I feel she will pick up some speed and definitely will fine tune that arsenal of pitches she has before her senior year. As a sophomore she has already proved to be one of the top pitchers in East TN....and once again MY OPINION...the state. Most of the games that she loses are caused by those pesty ERRORS. I PREDICT that we will be hearing "more" great things about Miss Gilbert!!!! FYI...I am not in any way related to her....I am just a big FAN and love to watch her in action!!!! Just as I love to watch Pokey, India, Katie,Tori, Dyer and any pitcher that has worked hard to get better!!!!!

Point taken. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I don't think they are questioning what an unearned run is....they are just saying they seen no errors...and the other book says there was errors.

In defense of the Gilbert pitching....I don't think anyone is trying to pad her stats...because she definitely does not need that. She is a great pitcher...and most of the runs scored on her are unearned. That does not mean she is unhittable...just hurts when someone gets a hit followed by errors or errors then they get a hit....which seems to happen to her alot. But if she keeps improving... the way she is pitching...she just might be unhittable by her senior year!!!!!

Not positive .....because I did not attend this game....but hearing from a player...I believe the error that they would have been referring to would have probably been on the third baseman. Some people call it an error some call it a hit...just a matter of who is keeping the books...but I do know the third baseman did say her glove never touched the ball in the attempt to play the ball....but who knows....and at this time and point there is nothing that can change it..so who cares. Yes... welcome to high school sports where books are kept by parents (MY SELF INCLUDED)...and most college coaches are not interested in high school stats for that reason. One thing we should all remember...that in every play a decision has to be made...if that play is close...no matter what someone comes out on the losing end. This is a valuable lesson that I have had to learn to live with.

I am sure Cherokee is in hopes that the old saying holds up...... "It is hard to beat a good team 3 times!!!!!" Maybe the districts will be the game for Cherokee.

Oh Well...you know what they say about the TRUTH!!!! IT HURTS...sometimes.

Didn't make it to the Jeff County game..but it sounds like the Chiefs need some "BAT" practice.

I was told 1:00. That was from a player not a coach...so am not sure.

GREAT pitching from both pitchers....just a few more errors on one side. But all in all it was a great game to see....and hopefully the rematch will be better. Congrats to the winners...and Congrats to the losers for a good game.....keep up the good work girls...this will make for a interesting district tourament. But one at a time.....Go Chiefs...get those Patriots.

We should ....we all know West has the best field in East Tennessee...and probably the STATE. MWTFAN have you got that tarp across that field...like the major leagues??????? I believe I do smell the steaks on the grill (I like mine Medium Well too).....just maybe it will be SOFTBALL time in MOTOWN!!!! Hope to see you there!!!!!
