how did the show case go?

[jbechler]

There ended up being 108 participants from all over (Chattanooga, Alabama, Georgia, Knoxville, Nashville, Murfreesboro). There was a wide array of talent from some girls getting DI interest to DIII type players. Half the girls were seniors, with the other half being underclassmen. There were about 30 coaches in attendance, from 21 different colleges. The colleges were (in no particular order): Lee University, Bryan College, Georgia Perimeter, Roane State, Martin Methodist College, Volunteer State, Paine University, Truett-McConnell, Walters State, Chattanooga State, Cleveland State, Young Harris College, Covenant College, Maryville College, University of Monticello, Birmingham Southern, Tusculum University, University of Mobile, South Georgia Tech, Tennessee Temple University, Berry College. I think all-in-all, it served its' purpose of providing an opportunity for some players to showcase their talents in front of college coaches. I know a number of coaches talked to me and mentioned that they saw some additional girls that they didn't know about already.
