Rhea falls 4-3 to McMinn as the Cherokees scored 3 runs in the 7th on only one hit. One run scored when a Cherokee was caught in a rundown & a player on 3rd beat the tag at home. Another run came on a wild pitch/passed ball.
Tough way to lose a game.

Rhea County’s appeal for its placement in a new district for basketball, baseball, softball & bowling has been denied. From 2025-2027 Rhea’s district in baseball, softball & basketball will include McMinn, Farragut, Bearden, Hardin Valley Lenoir City & Oak Ridge.

@Tpalmateer83 Sports editor in Dayton here. Do you know the outcome of the Rhea Co. appeal? Thanks

[Scott Power @PIScottPower]

Rhea County falls to Oak Ridge 7-6 despite a great effort by the Eagles. Good season for Rhea County, the future is bright for this team.

[Scott Power @PIScottPower]

The Eagle earn a 16-0 shutout over Walker Valley. They may now be the favorites to win the Region.
Rhea will play at McMinn Co. Next week.

Had no idea when we made the phone call it would turn into one of the greatest experiences of not only my life but many former players lives. To many great memories to count just thankful to have been a part of them!
