Sorry this should not be a building year for Pikeville they lost one starter they just need to replace her.....and they could really improve on there hitting they only have maybe 2 good hitters in their lineup. They should definitly be one to dominate along with ER.
East Ridge ...however could possibly have a builing year unfortunatly. They have to replace Amanda Salyers which as someone said would not be very hard ....replacing her will either be Mariah Looney, Lucy Belcher or Kristina Burke all could fill the position well. Anne Floyd which is almost irrepacable having almost .400 or over .400 BA and fieling wise the quickest cat around....Jami Baldridge WILL be replacing her and can almost fill her shoes with a little bit more experience. Melinda Ratliff will be replaced by Courtney Conley ...no one else could catch unless they try her little sister Kaitlyn at the spot.....Courtney is very dangerous with the stick but not quite as quick as Ratliff ....Also being replaced would be Samantha Sanders ER's very awesome pitcher but Jodi Yates is a work horse and will definitly replace Sanders with a bang ...she's awesome.
Also, PCC will not be a factor in softball this year ......they were not alright last year ER beat them by 15 runs. COME ON! It would be nice for them to get a new field though .......it's really hard to play the field with the sun directly in your eyes the entire time seeings how it is right behind home plate

This is definitly Pikevilles year. I think Pikeville has more than 2 good hitters. They do have some nice bunters and slappers and that works well with their game.
For East Ridge..Jodie Yates is a fast pitcher just seems to get out of control at times. But they should be up there at the top def.

who can hit besides blair conn and neely? I just have no idea because I cant remember they're whole lineup.
03-07-2005, 02:06 AM
Pike Central is gonna be really....bad. I hate to say it, cause i love my hawks, but I was stepping in on a practice, and they have some girls that dont even know basic stuff, like turning a double play, they always want to throw it to first for some reason, even with runners on. Lets hope Im wrong.

As bad as I hate to say it ....Pikeville doesn't have more than two consistant hitters....... Blair Conn....couldn't hardly hit her way out of a paper bag and Neely couldn't either....their most consistant hitters would have to be Colvin most of the time and maybe that Schmidt girl i don't know how to spell her name or maybe one of the twins...

I agree, Pikeville will need to work on their hitting. Colvin is a for sure powerful hitter and she is the #1 hitter for the Panthers. Schmidt is also a very good hitter, and like Bessie said-- she's the one who has the best bunting and slapping. Coaches worked really hard with her on her slapping and bunting and she's done well. I think these 2 are the best-consistent- Pikeville has. Everyone else has a lot of room for improvement.
(maybe its has something to do with the fact that Colvin and Schmidt have played since they were 9 in BASEBALL when the Little Leauge softball was in the pits! Either way... they are the 2 best)
Pikeville lost their best hitter last year in senior Kalaiah Evans.

I will give Pikeville credit that their players KNOW their pitch and will for the most part only go for that pitch. Colvin, Conn and Neeley are the hitters I believe the rest are just there for the bunts. With the exception of Schmidt who can bunt, slap and hit.
Valley and Pikeville both know how to work the bunt to help them. You can bet that when both teams get a runner on you know bunts are going to come into play.
All teams around here need to practice hitting cause once you go down state, these teams are going to have problems.

ER could be a big contender in the 15th region if they would pull it together and actually play as a team. The talent has been there the last 2 years but they didnt make it out of their district either year because some starters on that team lack what wins the game...HEART!!!
03-11-2005, 11:31 AM
I agree 100% with you Cherokee pride!
03-14-2005, 04:40 PM
if the seniors; Tiffany Coleman, Savannah Adkins, Samantha Coleman, Whitney Lawson, Heather Mitchell, and Paige Johnson play with heart then ER will dominate.
03-16-2005, 10:35 PM
Sorry Jesus Shuttlesworth, but Paige Johnson doesn't play softball. But if she did I bet she would have heart like the team needs...
03-17-2005, 02:33 AM
opps my bad.
03-22-2005, 06:45 PM
Adkins will stay at 2nd..she has played there 2 years they wont move her now..Baldridge will be short,she will be great if she can relax and get a little more experience on varsity...they need to get somone else on first, nothin bad about Coleman, there are just players that could do a better job on the field but Colemans pretty good at bat.
03-23-2005, 06:35 AM
yeah she had the highest batting average on the team last year.
she is being molded into a true first basemen as we speak, she always played second and pitched until 2003.

1. pikeville -they are always ready when it matters. strong pitching and gooch has some great gloves behind her.
2. valley - still young, will continue to get better as the year goes on. hitting is coming around.
east ridge hasn't impressed me at all as of late.
can't say much. those are the only 3 teams that i have seen play this season.
