In my 20 years of softball coaching I have never seen a top tier ASA team coming out of Knoxville area and to the east of there. You will get on here and say the Knoxville Thunder and blah blah blah, but it is true. Rarely see one at the A or Gold State, Regionals or Nationals. Just not a big power team producing area.

If the Dodgers are such a good A team then why are they not playing in the Colorado Fireworks, Champions Cup, or ASA Nationals.  These are the tournaments were the best teams in the country play.

They aren't playing in these tourny cuz thier season is over! And they have already been to two tournys out of state. Its alot of money for gas. Thats just to far to travel. And they are out of money. They spent thier last bit of money on the tourny in Ohio!

I have to agree with Marla13! I will say this I know how the dodger program works. They practice hard and play hard! There's no doubt about that! BUT........From the games I have been to they do not play in the strongest tournaments by any means!!!! Although, the dodgers could have faced good competition and played with the "higher level teams" in their division. That doesnt mean they are the best around even if they happen to beat the #1 team in the state or from the east coast.... Every dog has their day!!!!! But I am glad to see they beat a good team!!I give them props for playing hard and not giving up!!!

I think it's hysterical that the Dodgers are the only ones on here cryin about being the best. I don't see any other team on here begging for respect!! If ya'll r sooooo good then why is only the players and parents from your own team the ones backin you up? Wouldn't you think that some players from different teams would help ya'll? i guess not! But it figures the team is from Rockwood...if i recall wasn't it RHS that was whinin and cryin for respect durin HS ball? They must have an insecurity problem down thatta ways! :angry:

The Knoxville Thunder has played in the ASA A state for the last 5 years...I think the Thunder came in 3 in 18 A this year... I also believe their is a Eagle team out of knoxville that played in ASA 18 A state this year..(not sure)...

Thunder did finish third, not sure what place the Lady Eagles finished. The 16U Chatt Eagles team is a pretty good team also. We played them a couple of weeks ago, they moved up and played 18U, and lost 1-0.

    • Yeah.  Kids only transfer in and out of Bearden these days, you know.   That particular poster evidentially has a personal vendetta with Josh Jones.   Consider the source.  And the kid transferring to McCallie is a terrific talent, but an opportunity to go to McCallie on scholarship (and I am assuming that is the case) is one that is very much beneficial both athletically and academically.  McCallie is a great school for both.   Bearden will be fine.  And so will both of those kids who decided with their parents/advisors to go elsewhere.  
    • I think we are conducting interviews now since we have so many wanting to come to school here and play for a real team with a chance to play in front of lot's of fan's and have a chance to win a championship every year.  
    • Esteemed colleagues, On this auspicious Saturday morning, I fortuitously encountered Dr. Satterfield at the Early Bird Cafe, whereupon we engaged in a discourse concerning the pool of candidates vying for a coveted position. Dr. Satterfield, possessing a discerning eye, has graciously shared insights into the contenders, which I shall now relay to you in a structured manner. Eric Vetetoe, though initially absent from my considerations, ascended to the zenith of Clint's roster, poised atop his discerning clipboard as a preeminent candidate. Kyle Gregory, with a coaching demeanor reminiscent of a bygone era, has captivated Clint's admiration. His interview performance, I am informed, left an indelible impression, aligning seamlessly with Clint's nostalgic sentiments. Davy Cothron's cerebral approach to offense, notwithstanding a past championship game setback, garners high praise from Dr. Satterfield. His strategic acumen, it appears, remains unblemished despite previous trials. Brandon Eden's steadfast allegiance to the team, evidenced by his tenure on the creekbank, earns him considerable favor in Clint's estimation. Anticipation lingers as to whether an offer may be extended in recognition of his unwavering dedication. Wesley Satterfield emerges as a compelling candidate following a favorable assessment by Mr. Satterfield himself. The prospect of a Satterfield succession holds a certain allure, embodying continuity and tradition in equal measure. Kyle Shoulders, a surprising entrant in the applicant pool, impresses Clint with his football intellect, potentially positioning him as a contender for the role. Josh Hackett's defensive prowess, particularly in encounters against Trousdale over recent years, earns commendation from Coach Satterfield, underscoring his proficiency in the strategic aspects of the game. John McNeal's track record of success across multiple sports affords him undeniable merit, though the prospect of his acceptance, if offered, remains uncertain. Chad Evitts, a former NFL luminary, presents a unique opportunity, recognized keenly by Mr. Satterfield, to infuse our program with elite expertise and experience. Matt Dyer, revered for his contributions during the regular season, faces scrutiny for his playoff performances, a dichotomy that weighs upon Clint's evaluation. Chuck Gentry, endorsed by Dr. Satterfield, embodies the promise of transformative leadership, drawing parallels to his past triumphs in revitalizing programs akin to ours. Clint extols BJ West's astute management at the middle school echelon, where his strategic maneuver of strategically calibrating the team's schedule to optimize performance stands as a testament to his sagacity and acumen in navigating competitive dynamics. In conclusion, the deliberations surrounding our prospective leadership remain nuanced and multifaceted, underscoring the significance of this decision in shaping the future trajectory of our esteemed institution.  
    • Unfortunately we did after the first hire, that's why we tried to fight it so bad. this is a bad situation for our community and school.
