One of Chattooga High School’s standout softball players will have the opportunity to represent Northwest Georgia on one of the region’s biggest stages next month.

Recent Chattooga graduate Addie Veatch has been selected to play for Team Georgia in the 28th Annual Tennessee-Georgia All-Star Softball Classic, scheduled for Tuesday, June 9, at Frost Stadium in Chattanooga. The annual event showcases many of the top graduating senior softball players from Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia.

Veatch, who has signed to continue her softball career at Gadsden State Community College, will join an elite roster of players from schools across Northwest Georgia as Team Georgia looks to build on last year’s success.

The doubleheader begins at 6 p.m. and will feature some of the area’s most accomplished players, many of whom are headed to collegiate programs ranging from junior colleges to NCAA Division I schools.

Team Georgia will be coached by Heritage High School’s Reagan Armour, whose Lady Generals captured their sixth GHSA state championship this past season.

Georgia enters this year’s event with momentum after sweeping Tennessee in last year’s All-Star Classic, winning games by scores of 1-0 and 5-3. The sweep marked only the third time Georgia has won both games of the annual showcase.

For Veatch, the selection serves as another recognition of her outstanding high school career and provides an opportunity to compete alongside many of the best senior softball players in the region before beginning her collegiate career at Gadsden State.
