LNCUTMV to have womens softball.

It took quite some doing but the Lower North Central Upper Tennessee Middle Valley Conference will have varsity competition in Women's Softball this year. The idea had been on the table for a few years but only recently has a suitable location been obtained. Hank Kimball Field was recently completed as Hank is letting a few acres go fallow this year. No word yet on official D4 recognition as it is uncertain if the UCWI will be following suit with women's sports.

Bodine Military Academy, a charter member of the LNCUTMV, will not be participating as their student body does not have a sufficient number of female cadets to field a team this year. It will still be an 8 team league however as the "Hotscakes" of Lisa Douglas Culinary have been extended an invitation in BMAs absence. The "Hotscakes" have had a Club Team for several seasons and are expected to be very competitive at the varsity level.

Scheduling and Divisional alignments have yet to be determined but a 40 game season is expected. The season will start as soon as the flooding recedes and right field is accessible. Until then, the catfish are really biting near the foul pole. Drifting shiners and stink bait into fair territory just after dark has produced the best results.

If there's any structure at the bottom of the quagmire - like left-over groundskeeping equipment, etc. - I'll bet there's bass in there, too. Poppers might work?

Congrats to the progressive LNCUTMV for Title 9 compliance - even if it is a few years, or a decade, delinquent.

Title IX really has nothing to do with it. The hope is to get the Girls Gone Wild cameras to visit the schools in the conference.
