  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.
  14. it's hard to do this well when you only look at one sport. It's always going to be geographical obviously. The only real solution woudl be expanding the teams that qualify for Region, which I am against. I don't love it when a state champion can lose in the district and region and still be a state champ. In Division 2 they allow top 4 teams to make the region, but it's a much smaller division. Watching single A teams play at the state tournament is difficult to sit through sometimes. There are some really good individial players in single A, just not very many good teams. There are certainly a few expections.
  15. Completely unacceptable that they are playing at Siegel. There are plenty of other options. But this has been going on for, what, 12-14 years? It's ridic. Brentwood will win in 3. Talent wins.
  16. I love Houston's coach. I think she is one of the best 4-5 in the state. She does an incredible job. Give me Maryville, Goodpasture, Houston as 3 of the best at the state tournament. Cookeville's coach has also really built something special, which is not easy to do in cookeville.
  17. such an incredible program. that was a great match. GP coach is as good as it gets. That setter makes that team go. Def the best player on the court
  18. Crushing loss for Station Camp. Wow. What a match
  19. wow Science Hill got hammered by Cookeville. Good gracious. Anyone watch that match?
  20. Nolensville would win state with or without her in my opinion. They are a very solid and balanced team. Love everything about them. They would have probably finished second in 9AAA this year too. I hope they win it again.
  21. had no idea portland had an injury. I really hate to hear that.
  22. 15 titles is completely mind boggling. So happy for Houston. They have had some very tough State Tournaments in the last decade or so. They represented the West well. Another fun HS season has come and gone. Hard to believe.
