The third annual Rutherford County middle school softball all-star event was recently hosted by LaVergne Middle School.

Players and coaching staffs from all 13 middle schools — Rock Springs, LaVergne, Rocky Fork, Rockvale, Oakland, Siegel, Stewarts Creek, Christiana, Blackman, Whitworth Buchanan, Smyrna, Central Magnet and Thurman Francis — unified in a moment that student-athletes and parents will treasure for a lifetime, said Dr. Thurman Tucker, founder and organizer of game.

“This event gives RCS’ student-athletes a chance to showcase their talents in front of their peers,” Tucker said. “This event brings the entire Rutherford County community together for one common goal and that is to honor the accomplishments of our RCS’ student-athletes.”

In addition to the all-star game, players showcased their skills during the homerun derby, pitch speed contest and baserunning speed contest.

All participants received an award. 

Next year’s all-star event is scheduled for May 7, 2022.
