Seems like a money racket.. No one even reports on the spring 7v7...scouts/writers/etc

 

Its definitely not a money racket,,,,,, the cost to play is $300 if you are selected.... roughly 146 tried out 70 were selected for three teams...... $300 covers travel / hotels uniforms and tournaments...... games are played in 4 states farthest is Charlotte NC..... 5 tournaments..

 

What I wanted to know is what someone's experience is with the organization.....

 

By the way the talent pool from the tryouts contained some of the best players within Middle TN......

 

Rivals and 247 had folks in attendance.....

I'm saying the actual tournaments garner no publicity. Didn't say anything about the tryouts.. 70x300 is a pretty good chunk of change up front. I'm sure uniforms and such were covered by outside donations as is the case for most 7 on 7 teams.

 

Just depends on who is coaching and how much your child gets to develop. Good luck to you

I hear you HighLife and agree with the coaching / development piece..... fortunately his HS coaches have done a great job with that and I believe the development with the 7 V 7 will come from applying what he has learned from his HS coaches and applying it in 7 V 7 ......for clarity it was $30 to tryout.....then the 300 is for being on the team.... appreciate the Good Luck comment and wish you the same......

I know we had 3 of 4 kids from Gallatin to make the cut. Not sure how legit this is especially the expense.

For 300 to travel and experience players outside of TN I have no problem taking a little risk......my son as he has always done will compete to play....

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
