Meagan Prince and Cori Jennings have proven themselves on a national scale. This thread started as "Best Pitchers " and these two should be at the top. There are too may variables in high school softball (catchers, defense & run support) to make a true evaluation.

 

I beg to differ with this statementl. The question should be, regardless of team, who would you want on the mound to give your team the best chance of winning.

Not having seen all of the pitchers in the state, I would hesitate to decide who is the best. I have not seen any dominating pitchers (rarely come along), but I have seen some very good pitchers this year. I think all mentioned are good pitchers but to come up with some creative manipulations of stats and game results to determine who is best does all of these players a disservice.

There are 9 girls on the field, defense doesn't make outs then shouldn't be judge on pitcher. There isn't a pitcher in the state can get all the outs themselves, lol

I had the privilege to watch this young lady pitch twice and WOW!!! She is a baller. She is easily one of the best in the state, if not the best at this point. Congrats to her and Smyrna!!

Hill at JCHS throws perfect game against Cherokee and gave up only 1 to Riverdale in the bottom of the seventh with two outs on a single and two bloops. 9 shut outs so far. Top five is impossible to say, but the girls that are being mentioned should be considered top of the Tennessee game.

Hill is a really good pitcher. Doesn't throw hard, but location is outstanding. Is she being recruited?

Has talked to Walters State but no pen and paper yet. Size has been her issue. 5' 2" 114 lb. Have seen college coaches walk up and see her only to leave without watching her pitch. Third lowest ERA in the state last year (.726) and flirting with 1.0 this season against pretty stout schedule. Throws high 50's low 60's, but that is not her game. Location and movement are her strong points. 9 shut outs only gave up one to Seymour and Riverdale both on bloop hits just over the infield. Low walk to strike out count. I think she has 13 walks so far this season, has hit a few this year though trying to bust the inside. Not a big strikeout pitcher, averaging between 6 and 7 per game this year, but keeps the ball in the infield with a lot of pop ups and soft grounders. Doesnt get hit hard much. Three HRs last season and currently has given 3 this year. To sum it up, nothing phases her,If you want a pitcher that will keep you in the game mentally and physically, she is the one you want on the mound. Gives her offense a chance to win every game with very few exceptions.

      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.
