State Softball Tournamentbeing held in Mississippi

Soddy Daisy, East Ridge, Hixson, Red Bank and Cumberland Co. used to be in the same district back in 96ish (Huge District). I guess it is because Cumberland Co. does not have any AAA schools around it, except for Cookeville, and they had to be put somewhere.

 

With respect to what is east versus what is west versus what is middle, it is a matter of perspective. I never considered myself being part of East Tennessee. However, I live futher west than Crossville (central time) and I am on eastern time. The Time Zone follows the Cumberland mountains which runs from northeast to southwest.

 

This was not my point. Here is my point. There are several locations in Tennessee that are driveable within 5 hours of every school in the state. Memphis is not one of these locations. However, there is nothing wrong with playing in Memphis. Instead of players and parents complaining about the distance, they should be celebrating the fact that they are there and not at home with the other 98% of the schools.

I wish my team was there. I thing they where better than some that went!

Maybe they would rather stay away from the teams they are working for good reasons.

The two teams that are playing in todays winners bracket game are from our region. We use to go east and didn't have to play the best in the state until we made the state.
