Seen both games last night. From what I have seen so far. Unicoi County is the most fundamentally sound team I have seen as of yet. I have never seen a girls high school softball team that has the mechanincs of college baseball players when they swing the bat. Whoever has worked with those girls needs to step up and tip their hat. I cant see them being shut down by any team in this area.

 

I caught a few innings of the Happy Valley Va High game. Apparantly Va Highs Varsity pitcher is injured and they are using an 8th grader in the preseason. From what I watched, that young lady will be one to watch when she is in high school. She only had one base runner reach and that was from an error from the second baseman. Overheard someone talking about seeing her pitch at Science Hill the other day and that she really did a good job against them. She had one mistake and it cost her but other than that she kept them off balance. That is saying a lot about a pitcher if she can keep Science Hill off balance. Like Unaka that team is a well coached fundamentally sound team. Great job ladies. It is refreshing to see some talent in this area and it speaks of the hard work these young ladies are putting into getting better.

VA high will not be returning for the remainder of the jamboree. Tonight the Lady Rangers are playing in their place against Elizabethton, and Saturday John Battle will take their place. Unaka also plays Unicoi tonight and they will face Elizabethton a second time tomorrow.

Why isnt Va. High coming back? I was wanting to watch that 8th grader pitch again.

 

According to the Va. High coach, Va. teams are only allowed to play in one preseason tournament and they are only allowed to play in a certain number of preseason scrimmage games. Since Va. High played in last weeks scrimmages in Johnson City at Winged Deer Park, if they had returned to play in Unaka's scrimmage (for more than one game) they would have been out of compliance with Va. state athletic rules and faced possible disiciplinary action. He said that he was sending another Va. team to take his team's place for the rest of the Unaka scrimmage games but I can't remember who that team was.

Elizabethton's JV beat Hampton's Varsity and Elizabethton's Varsity beat Unaka's Varsity (4-0). I think all teams are trying to get the early season kinks out and see just what they've got before the regular season starts. One positive sign I saw was sportsmanship on and off the field. It's good to see girls from different teams leave it on the field and drive off in a car together. Can't wait until Monday when all of this counts.

 

Good luck to all area teams - lets put upper East Tennessee on the map and let them know we take our softball serious. :thumb:

      2024 Heritage Mountaineers

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.

      I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"

      2024 Mustangs

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
