Randy gave a few insights to this year's team.

"Key players are my 3 returning starters (Maysa Hampton, Ella Mullins and Abbagayle Buffenbarger). Sixth grader Talaysia Smith is as good as any player that I have seen at her age and I look to see her doing a phenomenal job for us at catcher. Newcomers Jaelyn Lawson, Kamari Stampe and Karley Smith will be in the mix as well."

"For teams to watch, I think this year Sweetwater,Meigs and Ole Coach G down at Rhea has some great talent. Those teams are always well coached and bring their A Game."

"The strength of the team is our pitching and catching. We have 2 of the best ones in our  conference with Maysa Hampton and Ella Mullins." 

Craig Mullins and Jamie will be assisting Randy this year.

"This team has grown a lot in the last 2 weeks of practice and are super fun to coach and fun to watch. I'm excited for the future of Rhea County High School Softball. Between Spring City and Rhea Middle, we are gonna have great talent for years to come and that's what gets me excited!  Can't wait to see what these girls can do."
