Jackie Pickel notched 20 points against Baylor on Saturday night to reach 2000 points for her career. This places her in the top echelon of Bearette players and adds to the many accomplishments this young lady has earned and been awarded in her stellar career at BCHS.

 

In a huge District 5-AAA game last Friday against McMinn County she logged 25 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 steals. That seems to be a typical game for Pickel.

 

But as good as she is on the floor, it pales in comparison to her character and Christian life that she lives and the way she leads others, not just teammates. She spoke last week on Monday night at the annual FCA banquet in Chattanooga before 1300 people, one of only two Chattanooga-area athletes asked to speak. John Smoltz of the Atlanta Braves was the keynote speaker.

 

Last year she was the first junior, male or female, ever named as the National Christian Athlete of the Year by Sportsquest. She was also the first player in Tennessee to be accorded this honor. She is once again nominated for the award this year.

 

She was a member of the 16-under AAU national champions her junior year and was on the team that made the final eight this year. She was named to the AAU All-American team this past year. All-State honors are sure to follow from several sources during the post season.

 

You just know that she'll be successful in her adult life and I'm betting you'll see her coaching somewhere down the road. It's great to see young people like her develop into outstanding young ladies, but it's even greater to know her and call her friend.

 

Best of luck to Jackie and the Bearettes as we move toward tournament play.

      Yeah, but if he goes to Science Hill they are guaranteed at least a win over Kingsport and that's basically the NET Superbowl

      2024 5A Season

      By blazer1set · Posted

      I expect Sevier County might be pretty good, perhaps Mo West as well.     But I don't see either of them getting out of round 2.          The rest of the region gets smoked in round 1.            Except for those once-in-a-blue-moon anomaly years the NET big schools are pretty much the same every season.

      Prayers for Kyle James family

      By ObseverW · Posted

      Wanted to see if all of you would lift up Kyle James family in prayer. Kyle was one of the best wrestlers to ever come out of Soddy Daisy and as some of you know he lost his house a few weeks ago and now his family and friends mourns his passing. Not sure if any of you were around in early 2000’s when Kyle was wrestling at Soddy, but he was a 3 time state champ and a Fargo AA along with going to Colorado to train to make the Olympic team. That goal was never reached due to medical issues, but he was an amazing wrestler and his family is as good as gold. If you were around at that time and have any pictures of Kyle, please go onto Alexy Winesburgh FB page and post. Thanks, Doug Benton

      Favorites to win State 1A

      By cp11 · Posted

      My opinion the 8 teams will be-  Greenback, Wartburg, Gordonsville, Jo Byrns, Eagleville, Bruceton, Dresden, and South Fulton. Gordonsviile is probably the favorite but I wont say it will be an easy road. With the right draw any of the 8 could win it.
