Would love to hear some high school softball talk..Tournament listings and who is coming is cool and all, but any news, gossip, predictions out there? We still have soccer to finish and then basketball, but Feb 15th is not to far away..

 

2011


  •  
  • Top teams Mid, East, West? A, AA, AAA?
  • Teams on the incline; teams on decline?
  • Top Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, Freshman?
  • Teams that lost a lot of Seniors that was at Spring Fling?
  • Top Coaches or assistants? New coaches?
  • Rumors?
  • Travel ball players in relation to schools in which they represent and the impact on their school?
  • Any upcoming signess in Nov?
  • Any signess skipping Senior year?
     

I guess being 5 months away, there are more questions than answers....Somebody has to have something...

 

Well I will give you somethin to talk about and that is them ladies from Cornersville will win district this year. Just think if you could take all of them players from the Marshall County schools and put them on one team... now you would have one heck of a team......Dont know any other small towns could say

that could do any better. Now remember the key word here folks is small towns.... :flower:

 

PS Ms Birdie is gettin ready for "Turkey Day" and I bet we will have a bunch of them turkeys on here this spring...... :flower:

Well MrNoitAll,

I am hoping the ladies of Richland may have something to say about 11A, when it is all said done. Possibly best freshman pitcher in the state and hits for power, possibly best freshman catcher (I am quiet partial to) with pop, lead off SS senior with speed and hits both sides, strong 3rd base (Jr) that hits for power from left side. Mix in a strong freshman class that went 29-2 past two years, with a few other SR/JR/Soph and I think 11A will be a little tougher this year for Cornersville..

 

A big key for Richland is they will be playing some of the larger tournaments, better teams and playing more games this season. Add in the two successful Jr High coaches that moved up to high school and have all the makings for successful season.

 

This maybe a year early, but definitely excited about Raider Softball for next few years to come....

Yep I think your key word here is young and for years to come and this want be the year. Now I saw the Fury play (a big difference of playing 14 under to high school) a couple of times this summer and yep pretty good players but not good enough to get them to the "Boro" come spring. A lot different coachin jr high ball and big girl ball and you all have a pretty tough road to get there. I think that you will see some pretty good "Old" coaches along the way.

 

Not what big tournaments will this young group of ladies be playin in this year. Remember it is a big difference playin your district and good mid state teams.....good luck but you better tell you folks to start savin their $$$$$$ cause they will be a payin to get in the "Boro" this year. :flower:

 

PS Aint them jr high coaches mama's and daddy's of players on the team? :flower:

Look for William Blount and Farragut to rule 4-AAA now that Coach Hawkins is no longer coaching at Maryville. Heritage and Maryville will still be tough contenders, but this should be WB's year. (Well, actually, last year was until the district tournament.) Maryville's reign is finally over.

I agree that William Blount will be strong again and that they should have done more in the district tournament. Also, I think FArragut will be tough as usual, but I also think that Maryville will be equally as good. They still have a lot of talent. Not too sure about Heritage as they are sophomore heavy and the others, well, West may surprise

William Blount didn't lose anyone. They've only gained. They will be a good! Coach hawkins didn't do much on that team. It was pure talent that got them to where they went. Allen took over and will give these girls a serious advantage. They have two of the best returning player though. Blanco who commited to georgia and barbie who is an awesome pitcher. Watched her throw this fall and she is going to be one pitcher to beat. Has the nastiest curve ball. She has wicked heat on her screw ball. Her hitting isn't slacking either. Blanco will be another big bat. They also have some decent freshmen talent. They only have one senior this year. Barbie and blanco will have this year they'll stack big numbers together.

Softball12,

I respectfully disagree that talent alone got Maryville the championship last year. Maryville only had two players that would have started for WB or Farragut...Blanco and Chancli Connatser, and Connatser would have played first, not pitch. I do not personally like Coach Hawkins, but he had an outstanding district tournament record over time, often with inferior talent, and certainly not always one of the two best teams in the district, but Maryville was always competing for the championship, it seemed. (and won the last four in a row.) Coach Allen may be the best coach ever, but he is still an unknown quantity. Maryville will be a very good team this year, but I don't believe that they will finish in the top two.

 

Let me quickly add that Connatser would have been WB's #2 pitcher behind Tuck, and would have been Farragut's #1, maybe.

Don't really worry much about the DII teams. But it is highly unlikely That Trinity or Camden makes it back here to the "Boro"

 

:ph34r:

I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet if I were you TBall "cause both teams will still be very good this year, but I will say that Creekwood will have a leg up in District 11AA and will be a favorite for a Boro run.

I agree with you that talent alone seldom wins champioships,WBG. However, if Maryville was as "untalented" as you claim ( you said only two MHS players would have started for you or Farragut...come on now...Barbee and J. Connatser would also have started, and Hilliard would at least have been a DP), how did MHS beat you in the district tournament? I guess we just got lucky, huh?

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      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.
