Soddy-Daisy softball coach Wes SkilesCLEVELAND, Tenn. – Soddy-Daisy’s softball team is back in a familiar spot.
The Lady Trojans defeated Ooltewah 8-4 on Monday in the winners-bracket final of the District 5-AAA high school tournament at Cleveland, securing them a place in today’s final and clinching a berth in the Region 3 tournament.
Walker Valley eliminated regular-season champion East Hamilton 3-1 in the game before.
Walker Valley (31-13) will play Ooltewah (28-10) today at 5 p.m. in the losers-bracket final. The winner will face Soddy-Daisy (31-7) in the final at 7.
“We’re still not done,” Soddy-Daisy coach Wes Skiles said. “We want to come out, play good tomorrow and see what happens. Knowing we’re going to the region feels good. It kind of gives you that peace of mind a little bit. Right now it’s all about staying alive.”
