in case no one noticed, and obviously no one has...moore county softball has truly turned a good season into a cinderella season.....they start 5 eight graders and have no seniors on the team...one of those is their picture....they play way above their age and just go out and play,....coach jeremy austin and his girls deserve a ton of credit for the hard work they have put in this year,,no one say this coming, at least not this year...go raiderettes, we are so very proud of you and the season you all have had....go out have fun, kick tail and stay loose

This article says first base Sarah Raby is a senior????

Like most of the article, they are trying to make it sound like Forrest lost the game instead of getting beaten, maybe making it seem like a couple of seniors played for MC sounded better. MC does not have a senior starter on the team. A couple of 11th graders, maybe two 10th graders, the rest are 8th and 9th graders I think. They start 5 8th graders including the pitcher, catcher, left fielder, 2nd base, and right fielder. By the way when Forrest had 2 runners thrown out on the same play in the region championship game, I think the throw came in from the right fielder (8th grade), to the catcher (8th grade) who then threw the other runner out at third (10th grader). Like I said before, richlandraiderdad, not a bad sofball season for a basketball school. I hope MC wins the state, but no matter how they finish, they have already exceeded almost everyone's expections except the players and coaches.

If you really want media coverage you have to invite them. Your local people should jump on the chance but for the most part they just don't know about it. Heck we didn't know what the brackets were for Tuesday until Saturday. Local media love good stories like this so just shoot them an email with dates, locations and times.

Thanks. You may be correct about sending Tullahoma News and some of the other local papers an email. As far the brackets, no one knew that until yesterday.

Sorry about the error in your grade and your name in the article Sara Raby. Have the utmost respect for you and all your teamates in Moore County. Like Coach Cheatham said in the story, you kicked our butts. Looking forward to a great rivarly in the future and go D9-A at state!

That article is from the local Marshall county newspaper so it is expectedly slanted in Forrest's favor. I believe the author's daughter even plays for Forrest. Don't expect much softball coverage unless its from a local newspaper. The Marshall county newspaper does a really good job giving its local teams(Forrest, Marshall Co, and Cornersville) coverage. Not many rural areas are as lucky.

 

BTW, congrats to Moore County on the great season! I'm not sure that Forrest and Moore County will have a harder time than anyone else at state. I think its WIDE open for just about anyone this year. From what I have observed there is not the dominate pitching that we've seen in years past from the likes of Walker(Grace), Fagan(Cornersville), Stinnett(Forrest), Renfroes(TCA), etc. In years past those who followed closely knew only two or three teams each year had a real shot at the title. I'm not sure you can say that this year. **(Admittedly, I have not seen Decatur Co this year. If they are anywhere close to good as last year they should be the overwhelming favorite.) They came thru some epic battles with Grace and Cornersville last year to win.

    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
