Over the past two weeks, baseball, softball, volleyball, freshman basketball and girls soccer held tryouts to see who would make the cut for the 2006-07 school year.
Head volleyball coach Franklin Fisher held tryouts last Monday in the Charlie Dalton gym. The Lady Pioneer volleyball team saw 21 girls come out for this year?s tryouts. Fisher put 16 girls on his roster for this fall, with only one senior and five juniors to lead the way. There will be a meeting for the volleyball team on Wednesday in the gym lobby at 5:30 p.m. All players and parents must be present.
Coach David Upton held tryouts for the Lady Pioneer softball team on Monday afternoon. Looking to replace four starting seniors and with 22 girls hitting the field, he cut the squad down to a final roster of 19. The softball booster club will hold a meeting on Tuesday at the Caney Fork building at 6 p.m. All players and at least one parent must attend.
Nineteen girls hit the field on Thursday, vying for spots on the Lady Pioneer soccer team. Coach Keith Hamilton was also looking to replace his graduating senior class. The girls went through two hours of drills and then capped of the tryout by breaking off into five different groups for scrimmaging. Hamilton will be holding make-up tryouts on Tuesday at 5 p.m. at the WCHS soccer field, and there will be a meeting before tryouts for all players and parents already listed on the roster.
Warren County Middle School and Warren County High School?s baseball teams also held tryouts last week, with some 30 players looking to secure spots on J.W. Holt?s WCHS team. As with other sports, some players were unable to attend tryouts due to family commitments, and will be allowed to try for a place on the roster when they return. Those players who have already made the cut ? both for baseball teams and other sports ? can be found inside today?s edition of the Standard.
