Spring 1995 Wrap Up

June 1, 1995

(as told by Marty Bradley)

As you can see, this season has been a much more successful one that the previous.  We avenged an earlier loss to Chattanooga and Johnson City to start the year on a positive note.  We played Johnson City during UT’s tournament, and then our second side combined with JC to play a combination of UT and a couple of other collegiate second sides.  We were very pleased that 26 players joined us on our first away outing of the year.  The Nash Bash was a much smaller event this year, and that made the scheduling a nightmare.  At last count we were at one time or another scheduled to play six different teams.  After a fine showing on Saturday we were left without an opponent on Sunday.  We were scheduled to play Southern Illinois but it seems they watched our game on Saturday and balked.  Little did they know the shape of our guys on Sunday morning.  Nashville tried to set us up against their second side at 2:00, but that didn’t fit our schedule and we thought it best to get on with the festivities of the afternoon.  We traveled to Lexington on April Fools Day and beat Blackstone in a game that was called early due to foul play.  After a break for UT Old Boys, Queen City came to town only to go home a loser in a close one.
