Best catchers in Middle TN

[redbaron515]

Chigger, She might be good, but shes not totally devouted to softball. If she is the catcher of the future, she should be devouted to the game, and not to other things, such as basketball. She quits teams when she feels like she needs to play other sports. Sorry if this is out of line, but it is the truth. If she devouted herself more, then maybe....

Here is the frist one that was done. Hope to see your responses soon.

I have to agree, catchers do get left out and they work very hard behind the plate. A bad catcher can kill a good pitcher. Jayme Wamsley, new to Goodpasture, is an awesome catcher and I would put her up against anybody out there.

[catchman]

Has anyone ever heard of amanda richards, been at goodpasture for 4 years. Can kill the ball. has to be the starter, if not she has been cheated. U go girl?

[sportnut]

That's great that Goodpasture will have two excellent catchers... I'm sure they will compliment each other. My daughter played travel ball with Jayme last year, 2001, I love to watch her play. No matter the position, she is awesome.

[CoachRick]

I agree, Amanda Richards is awesome. She can crush the ball and is smart behind the plate. She loves the game and has a great attitude.

 

Good luck in 2003

I have'nt seen her, but I've been told that this Jamie Wamsley kid could be the best catcher to ever lace 'em up in this state. Someone told me she can hit a softball 300' and just about throw one that far too. Is all this true or just a bunch of hype? Who does she play travel ball with?

I'm interested about this as well, I've never even heard of her.

[sportnut]

2Shooter4 if you follow high school ball you would not have seen her, she homeschooled. This will be her first year to play high school ball. She has only played travel ball.

Goodpasture has had a long line of good catchers:

Wendy Rudolph - 1993 - 1997 Belmont University

Lindsey Howard - 1998 - 2001 UTC

Amanda Richards - 1999 - 2003

In addition to Amanda we will have Jayme Wamsley class of 2005 and Emily Dixon class of 2006. Emily caught several games as an eigth grader last year and is a strong receiver. Jamie is an extraordinary talent and will be an offensive and defensive weapon for our team. I expect all three to contribute.

good job of moderating this thread, std. Amanda

Richards is not only a class act, but she has been

to battle many times in the big girl wars, its been

a while since she played 14u or 16u.

 

so many times we see kids and adults trying to stir

up things about who should be playing where on their

teams, I say who cares who is playing ss or lf or 1b.

it really does not matter, so good job of nipping this

in the bud, std.

As a coach it is frustrationg to read threads like the Beech Line up thread where players and parents get on here a say Sally Doe will or should be playing this position, Mary Smith is the best pitcher and so on and so on. The funny thing is a lot of the people are blinded by partiality or have a poor understanding of the team concept. Let's line em up in February and see which horsed we ride we where. Win your playing time on the field not on an opinion.
