Coffee Co. Eliminates Soddy Daisy In AAA Sectional Softball
Lady Raiders Score Game Winner On Inside-The-Park Homer In Seventh Saturday, May 22, 2021 - by James Beach
A region loss simply meant down, but not out to the Coffee County Lady Raider softball team. It cost them some gas money for a trip to Soddy Daisy Friday night for a Sectional battle against the Region 3AAA champion Lady Trojans.
A pair of strikeouts in two previous at-bats for No. 9 hitter Olivia Evans was equally put in the rear view mirror as the junior lefty came through with the biggest hit of her career and the season for the Lady Raiders. The diminutive Evans sliced a liner to left field with two outs in the top of the seventh that eluded a diving Makayla Perez for an inside-the-park homer to spark a 2-1 victory and sent Coffee County to next week’s Spring Fling State Tournament where the price of gas will be considerably cheaper.

Rogers Hits Two-Run Homer While Knox Makes Great Catch In 2-1 Win Wednesday, May 12, 2021 - by John Hunt
CLEVELAND, Tenn. The East Hamilton Lady Hurricanes finally have the upper hand in their season softball series with District 5-AAA foe Soddy Daisy.
Soddy Daisy had won the first two meetings before East Hamilton won the third in the last regular-season game, clinching the top seed for the 5-AAA in the process.
East Hamilton prevailed by a 5-1 margin in the winners bracket final of the tournament at Cleveland’s Brenda McKenzie Lawson Field on Monday and the Lady Canes made it three in a row with Wednesday night’s 2-1 victory, this latest the biggest and most important so far as it gave the tournament championship to East Hamilton and allowed the Lady Canes the right to host a regional semifinal on Monday against the District 6-AAA runner-up.
