The Ooltewah infield meets after an out against Red Bank earlier this week.

Some districts are done, some are still playing. As a high school baseball and softball fan, it's hard follow the double elimination tournaments, loser's bracket finals, winner's bracket finals and so on.

We made it through hump day and here is where we stand. All of this is weather permitting of course which could push games to Friday which is the last day to complete district tournaments.
