    General Manager

    But getting the team to believe that may be a challenge, according to coach Suzanne Cates.

    “I just don’t know if they believe that they’re as good as they really are,” she said. Building confidence is key as the Ladycats head toward the state championships in the All ‘A’ tournament.

    General Manager

    Against one of the best pitchers in the state, the batting can be tough.

    And for the Eminence High School softball team, the hitting wasn’t happening last week against Shelby County’s Haleigh LeCompte. LeCompte pitched a perfect game, striking out 11 Lady Warriors in just five innings.

    “They had a really nice pitcher, and we struggled hitting it,” EHS coach Chris Nethery said. “We didn’t play horribly.”

    Mountain Wrestling Association will return to the Eminence Community Center on May 23 for another fund raiser.

    At 23, B.J. Evans of Turners Station likely has seen more of the world than many people twice his age.

    As a specialist in the U.S. Army he was stationed in Illesheim, Germany, three years, and did year-long tours in Afghanistan and Iraq.

    Evans, a Henry County High School graduate, knew early on that the military was in his future. “I joined the reserves while I was still in high school in 2002 and went active duty in 2003,” he said.
