Just noticing that a lot of the disappointments are due to teams having injuries....something I have been thinking about this year, have you ever seen the amount of knee injuries we are seeing today?  I graduated in mid 80's and I can't remember having anywhere near the amount of injuries (especially knee) that we are seeing today.  Anyone else have the same thoughts?

Jake brings up a great point. You see many more knee injuries in today's athletes than back in the 70's, 80's or even the 90's. Injuries definitely play a part in some teams being disappointments for the season. As for disappointments regardless of the reason. I would have to say that Grace Christian is at the top of the list. I don't think anyone, including myself expected to see them lose. It's a disappointment at SP anytime they lose. That's just the way it is here. Memphis Mitchell not making more noise was a big shocker to me as well.

    • Gleason all over west Carroll in scrimmage. Gleason is big and fast 
    • Defending 2A state Champs Westview Lady Chargers are pretty tough. They lost a bunch of production off last year's squad but returned some talent as well. They still McCall Simms, a Tennesseee Lady Vol softball commit as well as solid talent around the diamond. I dont think they are as good as last season but they will definitely be a tough out. Huntingdon Lady Mustangs seem to be pretty stout as well. Don't know much about Riverside other than Westview defeated them earlier in regions. West Tennessee softball is pretty solid all around id say.
    • Eagleville couldn’t catch up to Jones, he did have his location issues but in that game Eagleville popped up everything and the one hit they did have could have been ruled an error. Jeffcoat was a lot sharper in the beginning of the season last year than the end. ER ran out of pitching and still was in striking distance but none the less the better team one. Last seasons tournament was A LOT more balanced and talented. South Pitts starter is a Lefty who was low 80’s but couldn’t maintain his velo throughout the  outing, their #2 was more impressive last year, we knocked him around this year and his mph was down some. Their #3 isn’t bad neither, throws a lot of strikes and sits high 70’s.
    • He actually had a really solid spring.  I could see him getting some backup snaps on offense and be a regular on special teams.  Really athletic kid who can run.
