  1. The TSSAA needs to make volleyball as equitable as basketball softball etc. It's ridiculous. I am sure at one point many HS didn't have volleyball so there weren't as many teams. I assume that all AAA schools have volleyball now. The only downside is district 11 is pretty much the only district that has real depth in AAA. Sometimes one of those Knoxville districts have depth. There is no reason why Rutherford county doesn't, but they typically have one good team that comes out and the rest are pretty much average or bad. Makes no sense. Can't wait to see how the championship comes out. Was really pulling for Franklin. Was the last time they were at the state when Jay was coaching there?
  2. The basketball districts take top 4 to the regional. Can you imagine if Volleyball did that? That district would have as many as 3-4 teams in the state every year.
  3. the top 4 teams in 11 AAA are all 8-4. so crazy. Never has been this competitive in that district. It's so impressive. The fact that Nville is 4-8 is unbelievable. can't wait to hear abot that district tournament.
  4. likely Glencliff back in early 2000's for metro school.
  5. really happy for SGHS. They have been grinding away for a long time. Well done.
  6. I have found that 90% of the time, the East teams are over matched. DB years ago and one Farragut team that I can remember was an excepction. There are probably more. I am pulling for Cleveland to win it. Would love to see it.
  7. Can someone explain to me South Greene's success? It's amazing how consistent that program is. THey win there every year it seems.
  8. Wrong again BM. They didn’t get out of the district 3 years Jn a row when Ravenwood and Indy were winning.
  9. This isn’t the first time they’ve not made it out of the district. look back 10-12 years ago when 11 AAA had a very similar sitch
  10. This happens in every single district/conference in the country. Most states if you lose once you are done. In Tn you can lose multiple times in the state tournament (districts forward) and be a state champ. I don’t love that. If you lose in the district and finish 3rd. You were not good enough. There is only one district in the state imo that this is a real possibility. Let’s not change everything for that one situation. Love the debate tho. Good convo
  11. At large is a terrible idea. Can you imagine? Let’s say the best team loses but they get to move on anyway? Then they End up playing the same team again and beating them…would be awful. Again I’ve never seen a 3rd place team good enough to go win the state, but this year could be it
  12. Correct. Ravenwood Brentwood or N’villw. Only the two teams on the final will go.
  13. It's certainly a good debate. it does take away the team that get's hot and wins 3-4 games and makes it to the state championship. But it also ensures that the best teams make it. I cannot recall a time though that a team that places 3rd or 4th in a good district that made a run to the championship (in the small class). I am sure it's happened, but I can't recall it. Usually the team that finishes at the top ends up running it. I am really hoping to see a good AAA tournament this year.
