Class AAA All-State

[Indian]

Since there were no TSWA selections this year for whatever reason, here are my picks-starting with Class AAA. No doubt, some deserving players were left out. I tried to balance individual success with team success, and overall competition level. College signing/commitment level wasn't much of a factor. 

Stats are from numerous sources. Some may be incomplete and some may be just for regular season. If I couldn't find numbers for players I didn't consider them. I did search, a lot. 

Not making it isn't going to prevent Little Sally or Little Suzie from signing a scholarship, it's just for fun. 

Class AAA: 

P-Sophie Golliver, Siegel, JR. UAB commitment was 34-6 with 1.20 ERA, 250 K. batted ,347 with 14 2B for Class AAA state runner-up.

Would add P/DP Emalee McCord from Hardin Valley - very good power hitter and their ace past three years.  Also, two for consideration from Heritage High School: Jazmine Geary - District 4AAA POY (hit .540 w/8 HR and slugging 1.060) and IF Courtney Deck - UT-Martin signee (hit .421 with on base of .485 and 15/15 SB)

It was tough to pick. Lots of good players around Knoxville.

Stats are from 2019 All-5 Star Preps Softball First Team 

Cayden Baker, Powell: The smooth-fielding sophomore shortstop compiled a .434 batting average, scored 60 runs and ripped five triples for the Lady Panthers.

Avery Flatford, Farragut: Lady Admirals freshman was almost un-hittable as she finished with a 0.83 ERA and 158 Ks in just 67.7 innings of work. Flatford was 10-2 with two saves.

Jazmine Geary, Heritage: The District 4-AAA MVP batted .540 and knocked in 41 runs for the Lady Mountaineers. A Maryville College signee, Geary stroked 16 doubles, six triples and eight home runs.

Emilee Fowler, Anderson County: Hard-hitting third baseman batted .455 and had an impressive .821 slugging percentage for the Lady Mavericks. Fowler, who will play for Maryville College, had 10 home runs and 45 RBIs this season.

Flatford would have been a good pick regardless of grade.

Very impressive list. You definitely did your homework. For your consideration, Cheyanne Sales, Sr. Catcher for Ooltewah. Kennesaw State signee. Arguably the best power hitter in the Chattanooga area and easily the most impactful player on Ooltewah's roster this past season. Had a somewhat slow start to the season in terms of homers, but hit several down the stretch and in the playoffs.

Email sent to TSWA:

Message: Is there a particular reason as to why TSWA has not announced a 2019 All-State Softball team or Baseball team?

Response: Because it wasn't completed by the previous president. We have undergone a change in leadership in the last month and are currently working on this right now.
