@jmtigers1974 The U of M (then Mrmphis State) had both women's and men's gymnastics when I was a student there.

I've got a field! We'll be playing at Gameday on Fischer Steele Rd. in Cordova. Turf infield definitely helps!

We don't have an on-campus field (the only team in our conference that doesn't). We play our home games at Buckhead Creek Recreation Complex. They're great folks out there and take care of us the best they can, when we get alot of rain the fields don't drain particularly well.

If anyone knows of a field we can use for games tomorrow and/or Wednesday please let me know. We have 'home' games scheduled the next two days and the outfield in particular at our 'home field' is a little flooded.

Reminder to please send in your scores, highlights and top performers from tonight’s ganes to jvarlas@dailymemphian.con. Or text or Tweet. All girls tonight and all the losing teams are eliminated. Big, big night.

@ricoviglietti This is my 19th year coaching Southwest. I remember her name for sure.

@gentrystats Unrelated. Have you been involved with girls softball for a while ? My aunt Sylvia Viglietti coached at bishop Byrne for 30 years.

Good Mt. Rushmore here from the stats guru.

@ricoviglietti That'll take a little research but I can get them. May be awhile though. I coach softball at Southwest TN CC and we're in our season now. Remind me later on please.

@gentrystats I’d love to see those stat leaders ? And any games you may have been. Can you send ? I’ll send $ for your troubles

@ricoviglietti Unless I was at the game of course. So I probably have a few.

@gentrystats By chance , do you have any old scorebooks from Memphis Catholic ? Specifically from the 90s?

@johnvarlas I actually kept college stats for two on my list. When I was a freshman at Shelby State, Mary Boatwright was a sophomore (we actually had a racquetball class together). The other of course is Ashley Shields, who played one season at Southwest before playing in the WNBA.

@johnvarlas Nikki McCray, Ashley Shields, Mary Boatwright, Latasha Byears

Question of the night: Who do you have on your Mt. Rushmore of Memphis high school girls basketball players? I'm going with Nikki McCray, Ashley Shields, Nina Davis for sure and then will decide on a fourth!

@ricoviglietti @johnvarlas That's correct. Byears played at DePaul then (I think) about 10 years in the WNBA. I'll never forget that 54 point game. Like I said, she was just a freshman that season. When she got the ball on the block that night it was automatic.

@gentrystats @johnvarlas I saw her play. Was dominate. Went to DePaul right ? Was there a connection there ?

@moffatt05 please call me or dm me when you get a minute

@SherriS_80 @AthleticsFCPS @memphispreps @johnvarlas @MajorPrepSports @DailyMemphian can you please send me a pic of the scorebook from the game?

The Lady Wildcats defeat Raleigh Egypt 76-28. The Wildcats will be back in action tomorrow against Bolton. See you soon!! @AthleticsFCPS @memphispreps @johnvarlas @MajorPrepSports @DailyMemphian

If I get anything wrong for KIPP tonight (scoring, stats, etc) it's because I can't read the numbers. Black jerseys, black numbers w/ orange outline. Mitchell's are a little better (white jerseys/gold numbers). Seen them play a few times so at least I'm familiar with the players.

Just wanted to thank all the coaches, scorekeepers, statisticians, etc that report their scores regardless of whether they win or lose. It's hard enough to keep up with approx 120 boys/girls teams without having to constantly remind folks to send their scores (pics of the book.)

@johnvarlas Was always one of my favorite places to watch a game (and keep stats)! The upper level of the press box was great!

Thought for the day: how awesome would it be if the powers that be got Greenhill Stadium up to code and started having games there again? Just from a practical standpoint, it would help alleviate the stadium crunch and benefit schools like Manassas, MLK Prep and Trezevant.

@p_chaun @johnvarlas I was only listing the AP, USA Today, or (old) UPI all-state players from Whitehaven. Although Cam was a good one for sure, I'm not showing him on the all-state team for that year. However, he was a two-time All-Metro pick by The Commercial Appeal!

@johnvarlas @gentrystats Cameron Jones 2018

Since I’m here at Whitehaven (where the athletics are great and the people are greater), give me your Mt. Rushmore of Tiger basketball players. Do they all come from those legendary mid-80s teams? Matthew Murrell? Let me know.
