Should be 2 quality games Loretto vs Fairview - Summertown vs Cheatham Co -neither are dominant and each are beatable on given night 

Guess I was wrong 

[sportsfan53ray]

Macon Co. over Lincoln Co. appears to be quite an upset .

[Summit22]

Wartburg over Midway tonight 7-3 and Harriman upset Oliver Springs in a slugfest 17-14. Wartburg will host Harriman on Wednesday for the region championship game. Should be another good game Wednesday night for a gold plaque!

[Summit22]

Wartburg lost a heartbreaker 10-9 to Harriman last night. They had multiple chances to finish Harriman off, but just couldn't get it done. Wartburg will travel to North Greene and Harriman will host Cosby. Good luck to both teams!

Does East Tennessee run away with it this year again. My predictions of the finals and darkhorse. I don't know too much about West Tennessee softball. 

A- Eagleville / Huntland - rematch of the two of the best pitchers in the state- Darkhorse is Gordonsville

AA- Alcoa- returns most everyone / Forrest always strong not sure what they have - Darkhorse -Summertown

AAA- Gibbs- returns most everyone, valuable experience last year being mostly underclassman / Lincoln Co. giving the benefit with Lexington losing key players - Darkhorse is Halls with talented soph. pitching duo

AAAA- Farragut-lost starters but have depth and key starters back / Dobyns Bennett - best pitching staff in the state as Juniors - Darkhorse is Maryville/Morristown West

Summertown might not be as dark as we think

They'll have their chance it seems. My prediction still holding of Alcoa repeating.

The Meigs vs Alcoa game tomorrow night should be a good one, both teams returned almost everyone, Meigs won the only game they played last year.

I still think Gordonsville is no dark horse. They have a stud in the circle and can do a lot of different things to beat you at the plate

No doubt Plumlee can win games, which was why I had them in the original message as the darkhorse from months ago. 

[Jaychapman]

Summertown really dark horse now got put out by Westview they got 2 hits but Stown made 3 critical errors - oh well sad for the 2 seniors

[sportsfan53ray]

All four defending state champs return for another crack at it.  Anybody but Lexington in 3A would please me.
