Pam Whitfield and CHS Softball
Pam Whitfield and CHS Softball
Coach Pam Whitfield started the CHS Softball program in 1980 and the first official games were recorded in 1981. During her 30 year tenure, she led CHS to 5 district titles, and 8 regional bids. CHS became just the second team from Montgomery County to win a regional game, which happened in 1990. 1988 was a huge year for the program as the team went through the regular season undefeated, and won its first 17 games in a row.

1986 marked the beginning of 5 years of dominance by CHS Softball. Coach Whitfield guided the program during this time to 4 consecutive district titles and 5 consecutive regional berths. 1986 brought a 2nd place finish and a trip to regionals. More success came in 1987 with a Regular Season Championship and another trip to Regionals. 1988 proved to be something special, CHS won their first 17 games in a row, not losing until they faced Dickson County in the Championship finals of the winners bracket. Undaunted, Pam's squad played the "if" game immediately after the loss and crushed Dickson 18-7 to win the district title. 1989 brought another district title and another regional berth. 1990 would be the last year of the 5 year dominance. A fourth consecutive district title would bring the CHS total to 5 District Championships, and a 5th consecutive regional bid would bring the CHS total to 6. But this regional trip would be historical. The 3-2 first round victory over Hendersonville would be the Wildcats' first regional win, and only the 2nd for a Montgomery County team. The season would end in a 2nd round loss to defending State Champion Brentwood.
