TCA will be losing two seniors off this year's team: All-State catcher Katie Henderson, who is going to play at ETSU, and CF Olivia Wilson. They have been great leaders and smart ball players. TCA will have 7 starters back including their entire pitching staff, and they will be getting some young players up from the 8th grade(including Anna Renfroe, Ivy and Ellen's youngest sister). If they can fill the holes, then I expect them to be competitive again next year as well.

I heard they had another soon-to-be-8th-grader who was a lights out pitcher, too. Is that true?

Unicoi County is losing six seniors, their catcher, Lauren Hopson, Pitcher, Leah Love, First baseman, Lynsey Canaday, Third baseman, Chelsea Stevenson, Right fielder, Katherine Harris and Center Fielder, Alicia Engle. They are all very talented players and all contrubited to strong season. They only have three starters coming but i don't think they will drop any next year. They have strong Freshman group coming up and quite a few players that didn't start this year that can fill the shoes of the seniors easily with a little practice of course.

That would be the Anna, the youngest Renfroe sister. She plays for the Nighthawks 12u (Ivy and Ellen play for the 16u)travel team out of Nashville. Great pitcher all around good ball player, and just a great kid. The Renfroe parents have a lot to be proud of.

Camden loses 5 seniors... ace pitcher Leah Hensley, Melinda Patterson catcher and lead off hitter, Jessica Shannon first basemen, Brooklyn Pettyjohn second basemen, and outfielder Coi Mc Donald. Three of the 5 have already signed to play college ball and Melinda will be signing soon when she makes her final choice. It will be hard to replace this group, but Camden has a young talented pitching corp waiting in the wings, alot of talent sitting on the bench and more coming up so they will be tough for several more years.

Cherokee loses 1 senior (1 of 2 pitchers used the last two years). While she will be greatly missed they will return 4 juniors, 3 sophomores, and 1 freshman from this year's starting lineup. Add to that a returning freshman with a great stick and 2008 should be very solid. All 8 returnees have been starters their entire high school career. The 2007 version set school records for consecutive regular season wins to start the season as well as total wins in a season, they won the district II tournament and suffered a real letdown in the opening round of regions.

 

There is an additional loss, however....the head coaching job is vacated by Almeda Dickenson for the first time in the 27ish year history of Cherokee High School. Someone will be stepping into a situation filled with "high expectations".

Meigs County High School has no seniors on the team and finished with a much improved 24-13 record this season. Most games started 5 freshmen and 3 sophomores. Will have only 2 seniors next year and 3 talented freshmen will be coming from the middle school. Much brighter future in Decatur for the next few years.

I meant in addition to Anna.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
