ER has to replace the pitcher, catcher and first baseman. Does anyone know who will fill these spots. I know Caitlin Conley and Amanda Sawyers pitched JV for them last year. ER has good coaches and will be ready when the season starts.

East Ridge won't be at the top of the region but are definite contenders. With the loss of the seniors from the last 2 years they will have some big footsteps to fill. I have saw Conley and Sawyers play since they were pretty young and I think that both will be able to step in and play some major roles this season. Conley has a good arm in pitching as well as being a quick catcher. Sawyers is an all around good athlete as well. Conley has it in her blood, Courtney was an awesome player no matter what sport it was and Amanda's brother was a great baseball player so they both come by it naturally.

If Fleming and Roberts do not return for Valley then they will struggle to fill their shoes. Both are first class athletes in softball as well as basketball.
