IMHO both teams that win out of this district will lose to district 7.  District 8 was very weak this year.

I will agree 8AA isn't what it has been in the past but I wouldn't say weak. They just don't have dominate pitching as they have in the past. However, it has been a straight Slug Fest this year with these top 4 teams. Even when they play tourneys with pitching...all these teams can hit. No doubt other teams will hit on whomever makes it out of 8AA...It will come down to if they hit like they can and makes the least errors.

It' alot easier when a team has a dominant pitcher,  don't have to play defense,coaches don't have to strategize etc.etc. I will say that 8aa has some great offensive weapons  (as good as ever)and they can hit the best of pitching any of the top 4 teams are far from weak.

DeKalb 4-1 over Sequatchie. Hits were nearly equal but DC made the most of theirs, including some infield hits. They overcame 12 strikeouts, 7 in the first three innings. 

Meigs big over Sweetwater. 

Sweetwater at DeKalb, Sequatchie at Meigs. Regardless of the outcome it has been a good building season for Sequatchie with a lot of first-year starters. Four freshmen and two sophomores in the batting line-up this week, and next year will get back a player who started every game at shortstop last season as freshman, hit in the .450+ range (out with injury). Another good, quick player went out with an injury late, will have 2 more years, was batting well in a part-time role. Both pitchers return, in 10th and 9th this year. They have another good 9th grade group coming up, will push for playing time/starting spots. 

(Yes, an 8-AA topic, but since the districts are locked in to each other in the postseason figured would just post here).

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
