Distrcits in and around Chattanooga

[DelTavian]

"District 6AA - As of 8am this morning, 4 feet of water on East Ridge's field. No available alternates. Camp Jordan is even worse if you can believe that. The coaches know the writing is on the wall. East Ridge #1, Hixson #2 and see ya at the regions."

 

No available alternates is nowhere near true. For that district there is one field that has the best opportunity to dry out first. It's also the best facility in the district.

 

Grundy County.

 

But I'm sure some of the folks in Chattanooga would die before they did that. "Oh, no. We can't take it to Grundy."

 

And I'm not saying that for Grundy's team. I love our girls but we aren't region tournament caliber by any means this year. But it would be nice to see someone make the effort to allow all the teams to play it out as designed. They probably could have played on the mountain today with good work on the field.

 

But I know it hasn't been suggested by the Chattanooga folks because I've got no calls. And I'd have to be called to set up the concession stand and run the PA.

 

It's a shame too. You folks could have had Ribeye sandwhiches had we played on the mountain.

Thank you for the update. PUREFP. I am trying to keep up with 5-AAA, hoping the Lady Jets stay consistent and win the tournament this year!

[PureFP]

Actually, that is why I went (that and there was no other game around the flooded valley last night). I saw Cumb. Co. at the Cookeville Tournament. They looked strong even though they didn't have their seniors with them.

 

It was 0-0 in the bottom of the fifth with a good pitcher's duel going and good defense for both teams. Next thing you know it's 4-0 on a grand slam and that was pretty much the ball game. Bradley's lead-off hitter got hurt last night. Had to get an ambulance. If anybody hears how she's doing, let me know.

 

Something has to give after regions. Cumb. Co., Soddy, and Coffee Co. can't all advance to the state (same sectional).

 

I won't be there tonight to see the 5AAA championship. I've got a horse in a different race. (And if anybody tells my daughter I called her a horse, I'll deny it.

[mynameis]

It really is a shame that those three teams are all in the same substate.

[buc1973]

Ooohh bless her heart. I hope she is ok. I hate to see any of these kids get hurt like that, especially this late in the season.

Personally, I could care less about East Ridge. True, they may have the better team in that particular district. But their fans have much to be desired. Their students are the most arrogant, disrespectful, and annoying of any team I have ever seen. And trust me, I have seen many. Its a shame that opposing teams parents have to go sit behind the fence in the outfield, and make sure these "boys" keep their mouth closed. I mean really, do they not have parents?? There is an old saying, that "A team is only as good as their fans," if this is true, East Ridge has something to be desired.

 

Also, chalk does erase, and there is no writing that says that Hixson and East Ridge will continue on....

I am so glad that East Ridge beat Hixson for the District 6-AA Championship. To anyone who has to play Hixson in the Region, watch out for the umpires. Ask any team around Chattanooga, and they will tell you that you will not get a call if you are playing them. They are arrogant and they come into every game thinking they are the best in the state. SORRY, NOT A CHANCE!!! When they were playing Marion County in the District tournament, they were worried. They had to bring in their "stud" pitcher because they wern't worrying about the Lady Warriors. They beat them 4-3, but they certainly didn't deserve it. So, to anyone who plays Hixson, KICK THEIR WILDCAT BUTTS BACK HOME!!!!!

[doc8]

Who in the world would be considered Hixson's "stud" pitcher?

[PureFP]

To: self proclaimed CoachB2002 and doc8

 

You sound like a Marion Co. fan, and by the number of posts you have on this board you are new.

 

Or, you are actually someone from Hixson who thinks they are trying to inspire their team by simulating trash talk. Or maybe a Sweetwater fan, although I have always found them to be good sports.

 

Neither of which reasons for your posting belongs here.

 

If you want to talk about fastpitch, or want to discuss teams, that is fine. However, it appears Hixson has earned a spot to play in one of the toughest regions around by finishing runner up in a tough district. I'm no Hixson fan, but they and their players (who still are kids by the way) deserve a little respect, and do not deserve to be talked about by an adult who appears to be living their own athletic dream through other children.

 

My montra is my signature. This game isn't about you. Get over it.

 

Good Luck to both Hixson and East Ridge. My prediction is that they will see each other on Wednesday once again.
