I agree with BBV. Staying under budget isnt as important with the budget being much bigger in SEC volleyball, thanks to SEC channel.

Well said, lots of truth in that post. I have no doubt your team was treated differently by the "staff" from seagull. T$$AA needs to reconsider letting them host again if they cant set aside rivalry issues and do their job and not give preferential treatment to some. It wasnt just Brentwood with issues like you described.

Farragut has the talent. I still think they will be in championship match. Guess we will see soon.

Farragut shouldve never lost a match this season and should when state. But we will just have to wait and see what happens.

Alexis Parker (OH) and Maddie Howell (Libero) at Farragut High School are two of the top players in the country. Lots of talent all over the state. I dont think there is a "best player hands down". Lauren Dorrell is the real deal, glad she made her way here from Houston. Everyone has to up their game now. Kylie Scruggs at Goodpasture has got an incredible all-around game and should take them on to a second state championship.

it was 10'5" approach I was there. 10'1" block.

VBinsider, not sure how inside you are but if you bet that the girls from choo choo went to K2 because they were recruited by the coaches and for cost you would definitely lose. None were recruited by the coaches and none went because it was free. Your welcome for clarifying that for everyone commenting on this topic.

Now you have your excuse for losing to Webb and Baylor. State Champions and State Runner ups.

I wonder if it would do any good to go to the TSSAA website and write comments under the FEEDBACK tab. If enough coaches, classmates, players and family of players do this it might at least make them consider it.

Should be a great match-up tomorrow night in the Soddy vs Ooltewah District Championship. Dont miss that one.

Looks to be Ravenwood this year.

I cant speak for everyone at the private schools but my daughter wasnt stolen from any other high school. Baylor or GPS was always going to be where my daughter was going to attend when we realized the level of competition was much higher in the Chattanooga area. Most Chattanooga high school coaches dont just coach the kids at their schools they coach the kids at all the other schools including Baylor. If a girl is a great player her high school coach gets her a few months and her club coach gets her much longer. We get to watch great volleyball because these dedicated club coaches teach them the real game in the high school off season. Coach Johnson coaches the girls that Soddy Daisy plays against during the club season and so do most all of the other area high school coaches. Thank God for all of them if your daughter is a volleyball player. I can only speak for my daughter when I say that she didnt come out of the womb playing volleyball and then ended up at Baylor because she was a great athlete. As a family we havent went on a summer vacation the last three summers. Instead they were spent at volleyball camps, playing beach volleyball and a couple of hours a day in the weight room. I am sure that most of all of the folks on this message board realize that hard work and playing against good competition is what makes an athlete better. You shouldnt stop playing schools because they have a group of girls (mostly freshman) that are pretty good players. I wish we could play Blessed Trinity, Hill Crest (public school from SC), Knox Webb and Goodpasture every week. The team would get better or learn to take a whipping. Competition is where its at. Work hard in the off season come in ready to play and represent Chattanooga when the state tournament starts. Dont play the teams you know can beat and expect to get better. Coach Johnson knows her stuff. If you had got the scouting report roll shots and tips were what to do against Baylor. Knox Webb kicked our butt again tonight wish we played them once a week like CAK. Playing the good teams makes you better, dont be hatin'.

I agree on Baylor, also. May be around for a while too. Starting 3 Freshman and 1 Sophomore. Well coached. 2 and 3 deep in every position. Good things to come.
