The Best Player Outside of Knoxville

[bigbluevolley]

Who do you think was the best player outside of Knoxville? Ever!

[PhillyAl]

I would say someone from AC but I don't know who.

 

K2  who do you think?

[bigbluevolley]

Would love to hear from Bratman, hardangle, beachboy and k2ruth. Come on You all have to know some great players!!

[beachboy]

BBV, I don't know the names of players outside of Knoxville, but there have been some very good ones.  Are you talking about outside of Knoxville in this area, or the state of Tennessee?  Lots of D1 players from Nashville.  East Ridge, Goodpasture, and Page have all had some very good ones.  Notre Dame had a very good middle several years ago who was dominate.  No doubt the quality of volleyball in Knoxville has improved the past few years.  Volleyball has definitely grown more popular recently, which is a good thing.  I've seen Earl Sharpe play volleyball and he is one of the best ever in this area, hands down.  But he is one of the guys......lol!

^{BB. I'm talking about players outside but close to Knoxville.}

[beachboy]

OK, gotta thing about that.  Thanks for clarifying.  Two that come to mind are the Templin girls from Anderson County.  I think they played in the late 90's?

[bratman]

Wow, that hard! BB I think the Templins played into 04 because Rachel was a senior when my daughter was a soph. Other than AC I don't know of another school that produced the talent that AC has. On the states top ten list to ever play they would have to have 2 or 3 of the best ever. I don't think any other school produces the sheer number of great players that AC does. Hopi's daughter who went on to set 4 years in college and competed for a couple of national titles was my favorite to watch. Best ever I'd hard. Eckerly was a three time all state middle that everybody wanted, and there was a setter, can't remember name who was OVC player of the year. My favorite non AC player was Perilli at Page, but that is too far away.

So far we heard from 2. How about hardangle and k2ruth? What are your thoughts?

[beachboy]

Bratman you are right about AC and a bunch of good players there.  Just thought of another one; the Peterson girl from Seymour.  She turned out very good and is still playing quite a bit from what I hear.

Taylor Kellum from Signal Mtn graduating early to start working out with FL where she signed.  They have a decent D1 volleyball program.  Had a ton of D1 offers.

K2r. who do you think the best player is outside of Knoxville?

[K2ruth]

I liked Peterson at Seymour, currently I like the setter from Oak Ridge. I believe she is sophomore and had an older sister play four or five years ago.
