Soddy Daisy 10

Walker valley 0

 

I read in the paper where the Walker Valley coach is retiring. It's obvious why, with 5AAA including Ooltewah and Soddy, now is the time to get out.

Is ole Cliff gonna have his umpires to insure a win at the lake this weekend funny they didn't want any of that warrior classic :roll: :roll:

The Soddy Daisy Tournament has been played for 20 years now! The same place, same time, asking the very best from all over to come and play, we cull no one. Why would the Warrior's hold a tournament the same time as Soddy Daisy? I was told the pitching mounds of dirt on the fields because one player got hurt years ago whlie backing up to catch a fly ball. Hey Tennesee, the dirt mounds are gone! Next reason... :roll:

Ocoee Middle school did play Soddy Daisy Middle this season in the ASA Tournament at Warner Park. Now back to this post; many schools do not want to get home late from the SD Lady Trojan Tournament because of Easter Sunday services. Another reason I heard from the middle of the state. I guess the team from Ohio did not get that message.

Richie,

Soddy always has a good tournament and I don't know why on the timing other than probably a lot of schools are on spring break this week.

I will say that this Southern Classic is a good idea and from what I have seen is being run very well. They have a text message alert system that anyone can sign up for, for free that will alert people of weather delays, etc. and they have chosen fields that can handle a lot of water if it does rain. That is the way we got into it through the back door last year. It rained that weekend and there were teams in here from out of state wanting to play ball. The Coffee County parents banned together and got our field playable within a couple of hours when almost everyone else in the state was rained out.

I think us, Lincoln County and Riverdale were the only schools that had games going on that Friday night. This is not meant to be bashing Soddy at all but I still remember you guys standing in the middle of the Soddy Lake ball fields with shop vacs trying to get the fields playable. We lost games and playing time that year because the fields were not playable. That is a big factor to coaches when they decide where to go.

And again, this is not beant to bash Soddy, but being able to play at a top notch facility like Coffee County, Riverdale, etc. (give credit to parents and booster clubs for building them) is a no brainer compared to the little public park that Soddy uses. (our kids still call it Soggy Daisy)

In my opinion Jeff and Weave and all the folks they have pulled together have just set the bar pretty high for future high school softball tournaments in Tennessee.

Good Luck to you guys this weekend. Tell Ham and Millie I said hello and good luck.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
