Just don't start bashing schools' facilities. Most do the best they can.Why do most baseball fields have grass infields?

 

Cause they all do SA and to cut down on rain-outs.

Most all softball fields are skin. Don't believe you'll see any skin baseball fields in the NCAA tourney or the World Series. How many grass Softball fields do you see in the NCAA tourney or college play--none.

So "How Ya Like Me Now" SA

 

He ain't bashing--just telling it like it is!!!

If you play on a Nashville Ciy Parks diamond, you are not allowed to maintain the field even if you want to!

 

Why a grass infield? Other than looks, a grass infield can take more water than a dirt infield. Lipscomb was able to play on Tuesday when most teams were rained out!

 

 

It does slow the ball down somewhat...and you get bigger hops. It is an advantage to a team if they are used to it.

As long as it's well maintained...I don't have a problem with it.

The rain out thing is a myth, if a skinned field is fixed right you can play on it as fast as you can grass and besides why play on grass when 99% of the fields you play on are skinned anyway makes no sense. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

I'd like for you to show me where I "bashed" a school facility, Antwan. Perhaps you should quote the person doing the bashing in the future!! /mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />

I don't know what city parks you are referring to but when I was involved with a rec league in metro WE had to maintain the fields. Metro mowed,but we maintained the infields and paid for all the field maintainence.

I do believe that he was referring to MrNoitAll /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" /> I was not bashing anyone like HoganKnows was saying. As a high school coach I want to make my field the best it can be. I have played on the Smith County fields several years ago and they have to use what the county gives them. They are better but I do not remember them ever having district tournaments on the fields because the other schools in their districts are better. But schools who have their own fields I believe you should work to make them the best! This is another thing that travel league coaches do not have to do during their season is to make sure the field is in great shape. /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />

It's in pretty good shape now. SC hosted the district tournament in 2000. That was the 1st year SC won it.

As 5Afootball said you are slipping MrNoitAll. Who do you coach for? He know's you and hopefully we'll all know soon. It's like weaving in and out of traffic something bad can happen when you slip. /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />

      2A State Tournament

      By rebfan11986 · Posted

      Defending 2A state Champs Westview Lady Chargers are pretty tough. They lost a bunch of production off last year's squad but returned some talent as well. They still McCall Simms, a Tennesseee Lady Vol softball commit as well as solid talent around the diamond. I dont think they are as good as last season but they will definitely be a tough out. Huntingdon Lady Mustangs seem to be pretty stout as well. Don't know much about Riverside other than Westview defeated them earlier in regions. West Tennessee softball is pretty solid all around id say.

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Chiefbigfoot · Posted

      Eagleville couldn’t catch up to Jones, he did have his location issues but in that game Eagleville popped up everything and the one hit they did have could have been ruled an error. Jeffcoat was a lot sharper in the beginning of the season last year than the end. ER ran out of pitching and still was in striking distance but none the less the better team one. Last seasons tournament was A LOT more balanced and talented. South Pitts starter is a Lefty who was low 80’s but couldn’t maintain his velo throughout the  outing, their #2 was more impressive last year, we knocked him around this year and his mph was down some. Their #3 isn’t bad neither, throws a lot of strikes and sits high 70’s.

      Karns spring Blue/Gold game

      He actually had a really solid spring.  I could see him getting some backup snaps on offense and be a regular on special teams.  Really athletic kid who can run.
