The Nineteenth Annual St. Jude Softball Tournament has been set for June 21 and 22 at the Volunteer Park in Gruetli-Laager. The fundraising efforts have already gotten off to a great start with Myers Hill Congregational Methodist Church holding their annual gospel singing and barbeque event in April, netting close to $3,000. “Myers Hill Church has been doing this event for a long time and the commitment of that church
The Lady Jackets really turned up the heat as tournament time arrived and almost fought their way into the region tournament. They came up one game short falling in the finals of the losers’ bracket of the District 7AA tourney. A win would have pitted them against Bledsoe County and given them a guaranteed game in the region tourney. The Lady Jackets finished the season with an 11-18 overall
The Lady Jackets remain alive in the District 7AA tournament as play in the tourney has been delayed due to the flooding rains over the weekend. Games for Saturday and Monday were washed out and play was set to resume Tuesday with Grundy facing off against Signal Mountain. The Lady Jackets have already handily beaten Signal twice this season. Results from the tournament will be in next week’s edition of
Baseball season came to an end Thursday for the Yellow Jackets as they fell by two runs in the district tournament play in game at Chattanooga Christian. While Coach Chase Jones would have liked more wins he found successes in his first year on the mountain. “Coming in the first year and putting in an entirely new system is difficult. Coach (Ted) Ladd had done a phenomenal job in the
Frank Emmett Clay coached baseball at Grundy County High School from 1971 to 1982. After assisting coach Ed Cantrell in 1971, Coach Clay assumed the head coaching duties in 1972.

Grundy County was in the same districts as much larger schools such as Franklin and Coffee County. Another district foe, Tullahoma,
Grundy’s girls got a district win over the CCS Lady Chargers last week to improve their district standings. They dropped a game to Franklin County and saw their game with Sequatchie rained out and have to be rescheduled. They head to the district tournament this week. The Lady Jackets are now 6-12 overall and 4-4 in the district. “What a difference a week made. The girls played a completely opposite game
For some reason, I’ve been thinking about recycling today. I have a dear friend who recycles everything! She has bins for paper, one for plastic, one for cans, and probably uses her table scraps to make compost for her flowers and garden area. Recycling is a good way to keep our planet healthy. It seems not everything can be thrown in a landfill if we expect to keep living here
The Lady Jackets lost the only two games they played last week as one game was rained out. After a decent showing against powerhouse Bledsoe County hitting their tough pitching the Lady Jackets collapsed Monday in Jasper getting run ruled in three innings. Grundy is now 5-10 overall and 3-4 in district play. “I think the long season is a factor. We played fairly well against Bledsoe. We scored three
It’s not been a great week for the Yellow Jackets as they were only able to manage one tie in five games. The other four losses had quite a few errors scattered through them that often proved to be Grundy’s downfall. Two of the losses were district games that will likely drop Grundy into the play-in game for the district tournament next week. They fell to 7-18-1 overall on the
