I agree with you devotedvbfan, except I know personally that, at least for Hume-Fogg, they did not underestimate Sullivan South coming into the tournament. we had heard about them and knew they would be a great team. Just wasn't their day when it came time for championship and Sullivan outplayed HFA. was the closest match out of any of the championship matches that day I believe. You are definitely right about Sullivan's heart though. I still can't believe that comeback against CAK. was a great tournament.

how many seniors are on sullivan south? I think #9 was a senior but not sure. HFA keeps two of their good hitters but loses #10 (best hitter) and libero and a middle blocker, but has decent replacement and still good middle hitter, outside hitter, and setter. I know CAK keeps some good players including big girl. 

Yes, #9 Riley Milhorn is a senior as are South's 2 middles, one right side and one setter so they certainly lose a lot this year and as you know Riley is a special player who will be missed greatly.    Of course, they lost a lot from last year's team that finished 3rd in AAA - two starting middles, one outside, right side, and libero and that turned out OK   :) .  And they lost a lot from the team the year before that that finished 4th in AAA (middle, setter, libero).    So hopefully the beat goes on.    As for next year several girls return who played huge roles on this years team and there is some younger talent on the bench and coming up through the ranks that will hopefully develop as it has in years past.    Seeing the players mature and improve is what makes it fun!   Who knows maybe we will see you again next year!

Congratulations to SS and HF. They played great and deserved to be in the finals. I read a lot of chatter on here and was expecting much more from CAK. They were talented, and BIG, but were uninspired. Their coach looked like he was scared, and was extremely unemotional. SS and HF were exciting and competitive. Playing the tall player on the right was odd. We just went away from her. 9 from South was amazing. I watched the 5 game match with CAK and SS out coached CAK, and she got the team fired up and made changes that helped her team, in contrast the CAK bench was quiet and made no adjustments.

 

We should be good next year, and so should HF. Great job SS!

Congratulations to ALL of the teams that made it to the state tournament.  What a treat for all of the players and the coaches to be in the Murf.  Savor and make the most of it, because you never know if you will have another shot at it again.  Sullivan South had a great year and they certainly deserve their win.  Way to go Hume Fogg, super year for those girls and their coach.  CAK might not have met some expectations, but they were certainly in the mix for winning the whole thing.  When we look at the whole year, not a bad place to finish compared to most teams who were home a long time ago.  Parents, players, and coaches, always keep things in perspective.  Volleyball is a great sport but more than that; a fun game to play.  Keep spiken em till next season.  Can't wait!

    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
    • Could not agree more. After this year, McKenzie's new coach will have their work cut out for them. Staying in 1A would definitely be a huge plus. Most years there is not much difference in the top 5- 1A and 2A teams across the state, but after the top 5 or so there is normally a huge drop off for 1A. Regular season region play is a lot easier for 1A in West TN  right now.
    • Word is Jason Maxwell will be new AD - he is currently head baseball coach. Also heard Roc might be headed to Pope as an assistant coach.
