Red Bank

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -- The comeback kids' weeks-long fling with Cinderella hit a bump Tuesday and then coasted to an out-of-gas halt Wednesday.

In earning its spot Friday in this week's state baseball tournament in Murfreesboro, South Pittsburg returned to 2010-11 form by scoring 12 runs in a shutout victory.

A month ago the Red Bank High School baseball team was one of the many also-rans simply playing out the string.

Red Bank baseball's impossible dream has been significantly downgraded.

The Red Bank baseball team mounted yet another comeback and will play again at home tonight.

In describing his team's five-inning loss to Sequoyah last week, Polk County baseball coach Michael Carter said, "We felt like the bug rather than the windshield."

It took more almost six hours and 15 innings but Red Bank finally secured its third straight District 6-AA baseball championship.

The Red Bank High School baseball team has found itself. After a month of floundering -- in the throes of a 14-game losing streak -- the two-time defending District 6-AA tournament champions have won twice to reach Monday's winners-bracket final opposite regular-season winner East Hamilton.

Trey Hicks is going to realize a lifelong dream, even if it's only as a flash in the pan.

Kenny Cobble knew Tim Daniels well enough to complete his sentences. The two made quite a team at Red Bank, Daniels as the head coach and Cobble as the defensive coordinator.

GPS claimed the Tennessee Division II-AA girls state basketball championship Saturday. Several local D-I teams are still in contention for the state title.

When Amber Dandy began competing in the long jump, her coaches never limited the goals for how much distance she could cover.

Clay scores 25 points as Red Bank pulls out a 53-49 District 6-AA home win.

The nightcap of the Times Free Press Best of Preps basketball tournament Monday will reunite familiar enemies with similar styles. Ooltewah faces Red Bank in that game, set for 8:30 at Arts & Sciences.

One could say that Red Bank won Tuesday’s basketball game in the Nick of time.
