I would like to know if there are still any good unsigned senior pitchers available in TN? I am not looking for someone who throws 70mph....I am looking for someone with a good fastball and someone who has good movement with good mound presence. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks.

As far as "best pitchers" at the state tournament..........Here are just some thoughts I have as a random spectator.

 

There have been a lot of quality pitchers and a lot of them have carried their teams.

 

The Ashton Edwards / Cori Jennings matchup yesterday was a great matchup. I've seen Edwards pitch twice, and Jennings pitch quite a bit. Both are great and I enjoy watching both.

 

Not to take anything away from any of the girls, but here are the one's I like:

 

Edwards stood out to me as pitching. She has been the most dominant I've seen. Now, the competition in A is not what it is in AAA, but in softball, I don't think there is a significant difference between teams at this point. If you are at the state tournament as a Class A team, you are probably better than a majority of the AAA teams. She is a K machine with excellent command and control. Great pitch placement.

 

Jennings has great command and mixes things up as well. The best pitching matchup I've seen thus far has been the Gordonsville/Richland game.

 

Several others I've enjoyed watching:

Makenzie Prince - Smyrna - totally has shut down every opponent I've seen. Great command, pitches, and is a K machine.

 

Girls that are "pitchers" for their high school teams, but they can flat out play -

 

Heather Norris - Clarksville - has been a great pitcher and player for Clarksville. Has really put this team on her back. For them to be at this far in the tournament is a tribute to her.

 

Mimi Cartwright - Goodpasture - Nobody has done more with less than her. Definitely not the most talented squad, but they just know how to win and get it done. Same with Norris, has put th team on her back both offensively and defensively and is just wired different. Excellent leader.

 

Sammy Jo Ivey - Chester County - another great high school pitcher and player. She can hit and play.

 

Young and upcoming pitcher hope to see again:

 

Brooklyn Lee - Dickson County - great young pitcher. Hope DC can make it back to watch in the coming years. Good squad. Chance to redeem themselves today to get back to the finals.

    • 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.
