It is Hallie Allen's younger sister. I haven't seen her a whole lot myself but I hear she is really good. They had planned on playing Friend last year, who would have been a Freshman last year. She transferred to TCA and never played. Might have started last year at PG. I hear Allen is working hard getting ready.
Both of the two far East series should be good! Making sectional best 2 of 3 is about the only good thing I can think of that TSSAA has done in recent years
When a new staff comes in and retains/hires a former staff member it is indeed a hire. A choice that they made which turns out to be a terrible choice for a new staff as a whole.
Alcoa definitely benefits from it being best 2 of 3 in the sectional round. The Central/Alcoa series should be a good one. Anxious to see AA Mr. Baseball candidate Tyler Oaks on Thursday evening.
