TCA's Anna Renfroe signs with Lady Vols for softball

Anna Renfroe has one more season to play for Trinity Christian Academy's softball team, but the Lady Lions' senior solidified her future after high school when she signed to play softball at the University of Tennessee.

 

She will join her two older sisters, Ivy and Ellen, in Knoxville. While the other two are pitchers, Anna will probably be a utility player.

 

"We haven't really talked about any specific position," Renfroe said. "We've talked some about outfield and even second base, which is what I've played in travel ball.

Congrats to all of these girls that will be playing softball in 2013 at the NEXT LEVEL!

Kentucky Signs Silverdale Star

http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2011/nov/12/kentucky-signs-silverdale-star/

 

Katie Henderson on Friday became the first athlete from Silverdale Baptist Academy to sign scholarship papers with an NCAA Division I school when she fulfilled a pledge she made last December and signed to play softball at Kentucky.

 

She first visited the campus in Lexington at the end of November a year ago.

 

"I really loved the campus, and the coaches were great, too," Henderson said. "I love that they put an emphasis on sports and academics and want us to work hard. They're really big about work ethic and trying to get better."

Early signing period starts Nov.9th.

This is who I am hearing has committed so far!

 

Congrats to all of these girls that will be playing softball in 2013 at the NEXT LEVEL!

Grace's Cowart, Bruisers' Boyd to play for ETSU

 

http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2011/nov/16/graces-cowart-bruisers-boyd-to-play-for-etsu/

 

GPS's Madison Boyd and Grace Academy's Bethany Cowart signed softball scholarship papers with East Tennessee State University in the last few days.

 

Boyd took a January visit to the Johnson City campus, although she said she had been a few times before because her sister, Ashley, had initially signed with the Buccaneers.

 

"I just absolutely loved it. The coach is awesome," Boyd said of Brad Irwin, who left his position as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga to become ETSU's head coach in July 2010. "He's really the main reason I want to go there, because of the connection I made with him."

 

Cowart took her visit in August.

 

"Honestly, I can't think of anything bad about the campus," Cowart said. "I liked everything about it. The coach was great. He was real hospitable when it came to showing me around."

 

Boyd and Cowart both play center field on their high school teams. They also are summer teammates with the Tennessee Fury organization, with Boyd playing right field.
