Halie Vannoy, OH/DS at Morristown East, signed with Middle Tennessee State on Thursday.

Appreciate the realism but MTSU has done this before and knows what they are doing. They found a player a few years back that they know could jump thru the top of the arena as a walk on and Angela Asbury from Oakland wound up being a find for sure. At the Mid Tenn, folks from MTSU took a walk thru looking so the school seems open minded about Tennessee.

Halie Vannoy is 5'9", OH/DS, and has been a 4 year starter for the Morristown East Volleyball Team. She has been playing club since the 4th grade for various clubs in East Tennessee. Last Year she played for Nathan Baker, former coach at Tusculum and Michael Robinson, current Tusculum head coach on the TEVA-18 National Team. She has been selected All-District 2, 4 years; All-Region 1, 3 years, and All-State last year.

The Volleyball community would like to know how the player is doing if appropriate and has her in our prayers.

She is doing well, just a little sore. Thanks for the prayers.

There's no chance that would be listed on the TSSAA website, is there?

PM, this is a "bit" off subject but has to do with District tournaments. I was just reading the article (link on CoachT) about District 1-AAA and it says they play a double-elimination format, once they get down to the "final 4". I just found that interesting, when it seems all of the other districts are single-elimination, all the way through. It seems there would be some sort of consistent state format to be followed?

District 2-AAA tournament is also double elimination after 1st night (final 4).

The Top Gun Tournament was started 3 years ago by the Morristown Area Chamber of Commerce to bring in great High School volleyball. Each year has been a success. Mercy High School (Kentucky) won the tournament in the first year. Teams that played in the Gold Division then were Westminister (GA), West Green, Morristown East, Morristown West, Bearden, Cleveland, & Gallatin. Last year Morristown West won the tournament against teams such as: Daniel Boone, Farragut, Henry Clay (KY), Morristown East, West Greene, Dominion Christian (GA), & Greeneville. Also playing last year was Landmark Christian who lost twicw in pool play and won the Silver Division. The quanitity of teams may be down but I know the quality of teams are not. We are looking forward to having Siegel High School come and play in this years tournament as well as all the other schools. I hope they all have a great experience.

The 3rd Annual East Tennessee Top Gun Invitational is Sept. 2 & 3 @ Morristown East & West HS.

How about Morristown East? They played after Cumberland County beat Hunters Lane. They were in the top 8.

Just want to say get pumped up for the scrimmage cause we will. Dem mo town boyz "keepin it trojan"

Yes, HS Softball Coach

There would not be any overlap of basketball and softball in the fall. Currently our basketball season last until a week before softball games can be played. I don't remember any snow in the fall either.

I would like for softball and volleyball to change season.
