  1. Yep, this week everything gets started. Good luck and hoping for a healthy season for all.
  2. She did. We played them Friday and handled them, Saturday was a different story
  3. Thanks for the update. Saw a little bit of watertown last year in MBoro, they were definitely scrappy.
  4. We did. There was some very good competition. Houston out west and Dobyns Bennett out east looked good, each took a set of us. Wouldn't be surprised to see them in Murfreesboro again. I didn't get to see to much of the other divisions.
  5. She's a good player but would be the third best at her position if she played in WilCo.
  6. Because he has anger issues?
  7. It's an environment of winning. Every year the goal is to win state, nothing less. That's the veteran move of a multi-state championships program. Setting the bar low is not in that programs DNA.
  8. Tori can't be replaced but the senior setter who transferred in from California is very good. Sets a great ball. That's coming from the girls who she'll be setting. Inexperience is not a word I think of when you're describing a team who will start 3 players with a combined 5 state championships between them and several tournament wins. The pin and middle you referred to are amazing, the RS was an All-Region player as a freshman, the libero has great experience and will fit in just fine with the way she plays, and the player who moved from K2 can play all around and would start for any school in the state. All facts, not opinions.
  9. Your Titan source missed the number 1 prospect in TN? That would be such a Titan move.
  10. Every pre-season it's "Siegel's year". They dominate Rutherford county then run into Brentwood and realize its not their year. For the record, Brentwood will succeed for a 7th straight state championship and Siegel will be the Rutherford county champions for however many times in a row it is now.
  11. I can see where you're coming from but 16's are to important of a year for exposure to skip. Keep in mind, the three best 2022's (RS, S, & L) were on that team so they have a good start. Then there's a chance they could see some new bodies move back to Gothic Court.
  12. From what I've heard third hand and directly about rising TPV teams for next the year: 14's - This past year 13's were very weak. Rumor is the super strong MIdTN team (ranked in top 10 at some points this year) are moving the majority of their team to TPV. If this happens, that age group becomes a top 2-3 age group for TPV once you mix in a couple existing TPV players in this age. 15's - Solid team but still has work to do. They've made huge strides but need a couple more athletes to really compete in large "open" tournaments. 16's - The right side from this years 16's will play 16 again so that's a solid start. The L and S played with this years 16's in spot service so they have experience playing 16 Open. Rumor is a couple of the better players from Alliance are considering making the move so that will make that team better. 17's -18's - The majority of this years 16's will move up to 18's like you said with a couple Alliance players moving to solidify the 17's and 18's.
  13. You will get more exposure in Open but I personally watched recruiters watching the lower divisions. It's the old adage, "If you can play, they will find you."
  14. Disappointment, yes! "No way to get around" what?
  15. We missed the goal for top 10 but the girls played pretty well against national talent. There are players up and down the age groups that are looking at making the move. I predict 3-4 of the better players on 16 and up teams will move. I heard MIdTN's best team (13's) are not happy and could move the whole team to TPV. If that happens, I could see a situation were a couple of the 13 Alliance players moving too.
  16. We lost and were dropped to Silver. Hard fought day but a very tough day. Clifford20, if you think day 3 at Nationals in the Gold rounds in 16 Open should be easy, then you've never seen or had a team play against the talent at that level. On our court and the two next to us was 2 A5 teams (1 is the #1 over all seed), a OTVA team, Sports Performance (#2 overall seed), United, and our TPV girls all playing at the same time. Yes, we have talent but so does all the other teams. At one point we had 28 recruiters around our court watching both teams.
  17. After talking to families in Orlando, I predict another talent and numbers increase for TPV come next season and not just from Alliance......young and older ages.
  18. It is very bad. Where was MidTN? I heard a rumor that there could be another migration this off season, Murfreesboro to Gothic court. I agree with you in regards to TPV 14's, they should have been in Open. If the Alliance director would attend tournaments, she would realize that none of her clubs should have been in Open this year.
  19. If, before the season, you told Alliance parents on "Open" teams that only two of them would finish in the top half of teams in their class and the rest would finish in the bottom 25% with the majority of wins on the last day of play at Nationals, they would not consider that showing well. There 16's went 0-3 today in opening pool play.
  20. So far, these AAU's have really brought the question to the forefront, "Is it better to win one game in Open or drop down a level (or two) to be competitive?". Alliance has been getting destroyed in the Open division while TPV has won one National championship (congrats to TPV 18) and a 2nd place finish (congrats to TPV 14).
  21. Of course the "back when I played" crowd would think there's not much to the article. I venture to say the same crowd is the ones who had concussions when they played and can't comprehend the numbers and stats in the article.
  22. Less kids play so less people attend. It's no rocket science guys. Read this article by Forbes and you'll realize the TSSAA and their multi-classification system is not the problem. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bobcook/2018/08/31/why-high-school-football-is-dying-a-slow-death-its-not-just-concussions/#215afbf75408
  23. How bout sharing your knowledge with us instead?
  24. Anyone know when the TSSAA plans to announce their decision?
  25. Oh, do tell! Does part of the story include the local high school trying to sweep the bad behavior of a hot head coach under the mat?
