So I guess you like freezing your ____ off, or do you watch softball? Moving softball to the fall would be the BEST thing that ever happened to TN.

 

I repeat myself at the risk of being rude. 45 states play in the spring. 5 play in the fall. Why is that? If you play in the spring you play twice as many games. At the end of the fall season it's just as cold as it is at the beginning of the spring season, and just as wet.

you are wrong!!! It is very dry in oct, the fall season would be done by the end of oct.

 

 

avg high avg low mean' avg precip

 

march 61 36 48 5.58

 

april 70 44 57 4.78

 

may 78 53 66 5.24

 

 

avg for spring 69 43.6 57 5.2

 

 

aug 89 64 77 4

 

sep 83 64 70 3.89

 

oct 72 44 58 3.20

 

 

AVG for fall 81 57 68.7 3.69

 

 

ok the 3 fall months we would have a avg day temp of 81 and a night temp of 57 and the rain fall would avg 3.69 in

 

and the 3 spring month's the avg day time high is 69 night time low would avg 43.6 and the rain fall would avg 5.2

 

If i had my choice it would be the fall, but i and you know it will never change, so we will keep playing in the cold and the mud and hope no one gets hurt.

I am trying to figure out how you would play twice as many games. Is that just your opinion. The season would be the same length.

 

Just as cold at the end of October! Are you kidding me?

 

The 45 to 5 argument is lame since most of those states seasons are different from those in the south.

 

I'm sorry, but you are in the minority on this subject.

My daughter only plays softball, so I don't know about this, but when does basketball begin practice? Do you think if they moved softball to the fall it would interfere with basketball practice? I am all for the change, I just recently heard the suggestion on a posting and thought it made good sense. However, I do realize that there are girls that play multiple sports and I would think since basketball is a big money maker it would take priority over softball in a lot of peoples minds. My daughter chose a few years ago to play softball only and it made it easier on all of us, but I do think that softball/baseball are asked to endure way too much to be expected to play ball in 30/40 degree weather. On top of that the constant cancellations/rescheduling involved because of bad weather, poor coaches!!! Does anyone in charge really care about softball/baseball? I think it is all about traditions and which sport brings in the most money.

Even if the HS fall season was around 20-30 games, so what? It'd still be a nice 'cool down' from the summer/travel season.

 

The weather issue is a no-brainer. Maybe this wilson guy ain't from here.../ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> I've lived here all my life, and I can't prove it scientifically, but it's been warm on October 31st more than it's been cold in my almost 50 years. The reverse is true for the whole month of March.

 

The only issue here in TN, as I see it, is the potential conflict with football and the aversion to change at the T$$AA. Granted, volleyball is growing in popularity and my daughter loves it, but it could easily be moved to the Spring. Easily!

Just out of curiosity what would be your "Fall" softball season schedule. dates for : first day of practice, first game can be played, State will run from _____ to _______ .

 

2009

 

1st practice 2-9-09

1st game 3-9-09

state 5-19-09 thru 5-22-09

 

2010 it all moves up (2-15) a week like it has been in the past.

 

Just wondering.

Probably would have to move girls soccer too, especially for the smaller schools.

I find a few things interesting about the subject.

1. Ga. has both softball and volleyball in the fall.

2. Baseball is still a spring sport in Ga.

3. Lacrosse and girls track seem to be the 2 big spring sports for Ga. I heard on a sports program recently where lacrosse is the fastest growing girls sports these days (outpacing softball growth 2 to 1). Is that the reason why Ga. I do not know if that is true or not but could that be a deciding factor. If I remember correctly that program said both baseball and softball participation were on the decline.

Just curious.

If I am in the minority than why doesn't the TSSAA play softball in the fall? Money........no way.

I wish our school had Lacrosse, then our girls could just focus on Lacrosse & praying for the pygmies in New Guinea all the while keeping them away from PWT after dropping softball. /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />

      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.
