Worth is sponsering a tournament on the first weekend in April in Manchester. Elite teams from southeastern states have been invited and there should be a list of definate teams within a week or two. There should be a few things on the Worth website about the tournament before long. I hear that teams from TN, AL, KY, MS, AR, NC have all been contacted. Looks like it is going to be very exciting.

Sounds like a great tournament. I checked into having out of town teams in my tournament last year and I was informed by the TSSAA that you could only have two teams out of state without going through the National Federation. You must complete a long financial report and several forms before the tournament begins. You must also pay either the TSSAA or the National Federation $250.00 for each out of state school that does not border your state. It would make for a interesting tournament, but it is also a lot of extra expense and paper work.

From what I gather their will be 16 teams. Hear are some teams that are possibilities to play, TN: Coffee County, Goodpasture, Ezell Harding, Beech, Soddy Daisy, and GPS. AL: Hoover, Clay Chalkville, Bob Jones, Decatur, Pisgah. KY: Owensboro Catholic. MS: New Hope. AR: North Little Rock. Worth is lining up some fun things for the teams to do when not playing also.

My daughter plays for Owensboro(KY) Catholic and I was just wondering which Tennessee teams in this tournament will be the strongest. As in which team(s) will be the ones to "watch out for".

I would "watch out for" all the Tennessee teams listed,

all will be competitive and will hold their own with any;

also Pisgah, AL has probably the top pitcher in the

country, she has already committed to Auburn, and will

probably singlehandedly turn that program around.

Stay tuned to Coffee County's web site for future information about this tournament. We should have things finalized soon with complete information on our web site. Good luck to all of the invitees. It should be one of, if not the, best tournaments in a long time. It should have very large crowds with tons of interest from fans of the game whose teams are not even in the tournament. I know I wouldn't miss one like this if my team wasn't in. You can't help but think the atmosphere will be like a Tennessee vs Alabama game.

 

Softball needed a jolt to get more attention and I believe this is a very good start. I hope this is a sign of things to come for this game. As they say in the research and development world, "Think Outside the Box!" Coach Breeden and Worth certainly have.

    • 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.
