SummaryJudgment Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) With the misinformation being cleared up what are everyone's predictions for the 2016 season? These are mine. DI AAA Farragut vs. Brentwood AA Knox Catholic vs. Sullivan South A Concord Christian vs. Goodpasture DII AA Baylor vs. Briarcrest A Webb vs. Really doesn't matter they're gonna lose Hard to argue with those predictions and thus I think the reason for the lack of responses. I've seen Baylor and Briarcrest this pre-season. They will be very difficult to beat. Brentwood Academy has a strong junior class so keep and eye on them. Webb is Webb again. As for D1, I think you will see 5 of the 8 AAA teams from last year returning to State. I think Hardin Valley takes Bearden's spot. I don't know what's going to come out of Memphis. Houston lost a lot. Wondering what Collierville, Bartlett, Germantown, and Arlington have. In middle TN Blackman appears to be a bit stronger. Ravenwood has a lot of talent and should push Franklin. Beech and Station Camp will be good this year too. As for AA I think you could easily predict that all 8 teams from last year will return. Camden Central and Harpeth could make some noise though. Single A....I'll go with your prediction for the title match. Edited August 9, 2016 by SummaryJudgment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeterTot Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Agreed. AAA runs through Brentwood. They are loaded and will be for several years to come. Div II A runs through Webb as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigchief Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 What about South Greene in A? They have been good the last two years. Is Concord really better than them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel82 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Better watch for South Greene in Single A. They defeated Sullivan South this week 3-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel82 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) South Greene also defeated AAA Morristown West 3-2 this week. Edited August 20, 2016 by Rebel82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm told the one girl isn't going to play for Brentwood since the season has started and she going to play on a national team. Is this correct?

flyjgray Posted August 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 She can't play for Brentwood's high school team until Sept 10 because she is playing for the USA team and TSSAA says she can't play for two teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is another bone head rule from TSSAA. The young lady is representing Team USA, not a club or another high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single A....I'll go with your prediction for the title match. I like Hardin Valley's chances also. If I'm not mistaken they have a couple girls from a K2 12 and under team I saw win a 14 1s club tourney up that way about 3 years ago. Should be sophs or jrs now. If that's them they should improve as the season goes on , not that they are bad now. Anyway come tourney time they might make some noise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyjgray Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I saw lots of K2, KVA, Alliance, A5, Choo Choo, etc talent spread though out the tournament. Great volleyball especially for a tournament this early in the season. I would've like to have seen a power pool format like we saw at the NIT in Salt Lake City and at 18 Open JNC this past club season. It makes for a more competitive first day and those smaller programs don't take such a beating the first day. I don't think that is good for the beaters or the beatees.
