ZEBRA35 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Memphis city schools are an absolute joke. Some schools have a cake walk to state tourney while others have to go thru murderers row. Single A is as weak as ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) Softball classes should be based on which schools have teams. Right now baseball, basketball, softball all have the same breakdowns whether there is softball or not. Most schools have it but enough don't to throw it off. The Class A district tournament in Chattanooga metro area had 3 teams. I glanced at it quickly, looks like at least 20 non-softball schools in basketball classes. Take them out and classify properly and you'd have a stronger Class A. Better yet go to four classes across the board in basketball, softball, and baseball.

I saw several softball and baseball schools from West TN travel to Memphis and win 15-0 after 3 or 5 innings. Also saw a 24-0 score.

softballdad25 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) Saw Summertown play last year in a tournament. They made a good showing against strong/larger schools. Had a fairly young team from what I remember. They are probably the favorite, but Sale Creek will also be a factor. Very talented team with a deep pitching staff. The Whitwell/Summertown game is the most intriguing first round matchup. Whitwell has played extremely tough non-district/region competition this season, and returns most of their lineup from last season's state tourney team.

Ive seen South Fulton and Gibson Co and both play in very weak districts and even weaker region. I figure Summertown and Sale Creek are the favorites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwright Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 West Tn. Single A softball isn't what it was. All they did by changing the districts the way they did was make the regions on the western end of the state weaker. I can't remember ever seeing run ruled teams in 3 innings at the sub-state level. I hate to take away from my team (South Fulton) but they had a much easier road to the state tournament than South Fulton ever saw during my daughter's career. There was always some tough games at the Regional and Sub-state levels. 23 hours ago, ZEBRA35 said: Ive seen South Fulton and Gibson Co and both play in very weak districts and even weaker region.

ecu Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Cascade seems to be getting overlooked. Their pitcher is maybe the best pitcher in single A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
