I'd like to send out a sincere "thank you" to the good folks at Nashville One for hosting Memphis Metro 16s in a scrimmage last week. The two teams were equally matched and put on quite a show for friends and family. It is this type of high-energy competition that will prepare both teams for success at the USAV championship games.
I hope these two clubs, along with other Nashville area clubs, will add each other to their club tournament schedules next year. I do not believe we have to travel out of state to find competitive volleyball tournaments and I'd rather put more money in our local economy. The biggest issue, if it's an issue at all, is that the Memphis clubs are not in the same region with the rest of the state of Tennessee which can or has caused a Memphis teams to get 'bumped' out of a tournament on short notice.
Anyway, thanks again to Nashville One 16s for the scrimmage opportunity AND the pizza. We will be rooting for you as long as we are not playing against you.
