Congrats to Portland and Knox Catholic on making the Championship game, and to all the teams who made it to Murfreesboro. So proud of the East Hamilton girls who played their guts out for 5 great matches (EH sure didn't get any help from the draw ). Nothing personal against KC (a really great team), but I'll be pulling for the PUBLIC school, Portland, in the championship game. Completely enjoyed the Wednesday action at MTSU. Was great to watch the Single A winner's bracket final between Loretto and Watertown. Great student sections from small towns cheering on their teams in a thriller. It's an opportunity those towns wouldn't get if the TSSAA had not pushed the private schools into their own divisions (at least almost all of the private schools, hint, hint). Greatest scene though was leading into the two loser's bracket finals. Prior to official warm-up time, sound guy blasts the Electric Slide. Several Sale Creek and Watertown players and a few from East Hamilton break into the dance routine. Following the Electric Slide came Cotton-Eyed Joe, this actually led to ALL FOUR competing teams going over to the Single A court and dancing TOGETHER. No scores being kept, just good old fashion girls having fun. A true example of sportsmanship and how sports can bring people together. If the TSSAA doesn't somehow get a video of that happening, they're missing a great marketing opportunity.

Wondering if anyone here can clear up the state tournament dates. On TSSAA.org, the calendar calls out the dates of the Vball state tournament as Wed thru Friday, Oct 17-19 http://tssaa.org/wp-content/uploads/SportsCalendar/2018VBCalendar.pdf The following link states the tournament will be held Tue thru Thur, Oct 16-18, http://tssaa.org/information-for-girls-volleyball-teams-participating-in-the-state-tournament/ Thanks in advance for your help.
