OK. I've waited on Bledsoebtheboys long enough. I guess he isn't going to start a thread this year. How do you think the district will shake out this year? Let's hear some predictions. I'll offer mine later this week.

Hixson, East Ridge, Bledsoe, Marion......about the same as last year....someone will have to beat Hixson or East Ridge.....and i put Hixson in front of East Ridge only because i think they lost the least amount of players last year.....East Ridge lost a very good pitcher last year....but they always find a way to win......good luck to all the teams...

MC-Dad I thought it still might be early for a thread but lets go.....hhhhmmmm....Lets see: 1. Hixson, 2. East Ridge, 3. Bledsoe, 4. Marion......Any info on the newcomers to the district?

[Bledsoebtheboys]

Hey B. Why do your picks sound suspiciously like jhoutsider's? Hmmmmm.

 

I think that the top three will be 1. ER 2. Hixon and 3. Bledsoe. For me, the jury is still out on Marion at the number 4 spot. Starting pitching and youth are both areas of concern for me. Kilgore (Jr) is a pretty good pitcher, but does she have the ability to can carry the team like Sarah G did a couple of years ago? Can Spangler (Sr) improve her control from last season? If so, she will definitely get some quality "mound" time. We have some really talented Freshmen, but will they be ready for varsity play? All of these questions and no answers for me.

 

Yes, I know that it is a little early to be starting SB threads, but it's been a looooonnnnngggg time since football season and I'm ready to get back into the groove of things.

East Ridge at #1 is also a very good possibility, but considering Hixson didn't lose anything.........What do you think of Notre Dame and Chattanooga Christian?

Is this the same Kilgore who used to be at Grundy or a different one?

Same one...she also use to be at Whitwell....

Same one...she also use to be at Whitwell....

 

 

Three schools in three years?

[jhoutsider]

what will the two new chattanooga schools have?

[FatNasty]

I hope the young Kilgore finds her place at Marion this season and I hope she does well. I don't really know her or her parents, but three schools in three years seems a Little ODD!

 

However, I don't think that's the biggest problem Marion faces this year. Rumor has it that Gatlin (now Laws-married name) might not be coaching. It seems she got hurt while teaching in her classroom sometime before Christmas when a large piece of metal fell through the ceiling and hit her in the head. This will have a huge impact on this team. I hope whoever coaches can guide these girls through this season.

 

I know they have 1 or 2 good seniors (1st base/pitcher & outfield), I think there only 2 juniors quite, 1 good sophomore (3rd) and sever good freshman (catcher, short &second).

 

It should be an interesting season.

[jhoutsider]

are you joking......something feel from the ceiling???????

[FatNasty]

WOW. I hadn't heard that one. Is she going to be alright? Who is going to coach the team if she isn't able too? I know that in the past years her dad was one of her assistants. I had heard that he wasn't going to help this year. Will this bring him "out of retirement"? If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.

 

FatNasty....if you know more than you are telling it's time to come across with it....

 

 

 

I don't know more than that other than she is hurt and I don't think she's been teaching since the accident.

 

I live in Murfreesboro and only get bits of information from a friend that lives in Jasper. His daughter plays on the team and I’m getting my info through him. I’m going to call him today and ask if he’s heard anything else about this.

Well I talked to my friend today and he tells me that its not for certian either way. If she does not coach, then a guy named Moore will be the head coach. Or that's the rumor right now.

 

I don't know this Moore but he's a teacher at the high school. I don't know what he teaches and I don't know if he coaches any other sport.

 

If the coach has not been working for a couple of months, she must be hurt pretty bad. Is there anyone else from the Jasper or Marion county area that's heard anything about this?
