Sophomores making a difference in "05"

[Hopi]

Any teams have up coming sophomore's that can make an impact?

[bd4vols]

LaVergne has several sophomores that will play a big role in this and upcoming seasons including Outside hitters Sarah Thacker and Kellye Piercey, and Setter Anna Garrison have already made their mark on the varsity team, and Outside hitters Sunnie Jackson and Emily Boyd are earning playing time with the varsity by solid play on the JV.

 

Thacker had 22 kills and Garrison had 39 assists on Monday vs. Ezell-Harding.

Shelby Smith is a young soph who is starting for Siegel @ MB. Not sure how tall she is bu over 6'0 or right at it. She is making a hugh difference for Siegel this year.

 

Siegel has a great class of Soph with 2 other girls having the potential to play up and a handful of other JV players that will make a name for themselves later.

 

Sally Reese and Morgan Faulkner. They both come off the bench if need be, the siegel JV team is looking really good. After all they are the defending District 7AAA tournament champs!

 

Siegel will be losing 6 seniors this year but they have a some really good Juniors and Soph that will make a easier transitsion.

Grundy Co. has a sophmore that starts that has and definately will have an impact...i think she's lookin good for a future scholarship sometime in the future. She is Kayla Childers(i think) but i am sure she is number 7...great room for improvement and certainly showin great promise with her hard hits and potential for being one of the best athletes

Kayla Childers of Grundy County is a PLAYER, no doubt about it. It's so hard to say which she is best at....hitting or playing defense. She swings HARD, knows when to push, and reads the defense better than any player that I've ever coached. She plays great on backline as well. Her serves are incredible, with lots of spin, and did i say HARD???? She continues to grow all around as a player, and I can't wait to see her as a senior!

Please be so kind as to show your star player off at a mid-state tournament next season. I'm certain many of us would like to see her play in person, as well as see how she stacks up against others in the area/others her age.

 

I know they're not sophomores yet (next year!), but Independence has a set of twins who are going to be a serious force to be reckoned with. The Perilli twins- Tess and Grace- are already very good, but will continue to get better with more time and experience. I dare say they will lead Independence out of district before their senior year.

Ooltewah has a strong OH that is a soph, Taylor Gatewood. She's about 5" 10" and can really pound the ball. As the year progresses, I think she will be more consistent and improve all-around.

London Elie from Lebanon...6'2" MB

Thacker had 22 kills and Garrison had 39 assists on Monday vs. Ezell-Harding.

 

What are you counting as a kill and an assist?

Maybe I am mistaken, (which I am quite often) but the criteria for a kill is a ball that ends a rally I thought. An assist is only an assist if it comes before a kill. Otherwise, they are counted as attempts.

 

Judge, help out please!

Just exactly that. Both had good games as did both the middles and the other outside. Those taking stats have been trained to do so. A kill is a ball attacked (whether a jump/swing, or a down ball), tipped, pushed etc to end a rally. We do not count Free balls as kills.

Keep an eye on Keelie Manning, a sophomore setter at Wilson Central. She's really making some terrific progress and is varsity this year.

i have to say siegel has the best sophomores.

 

shelby smith, 6'0, AWESOME blocker, and hitter.

 

morgan faulker, has come in and taken casie luna's position, while casie luna takes the position of carrie parrott (due to a hurt ankle) has adjusted very well, and has amazed some people, can handle the ball very well.

 

sally reese, has some amazing swings. definate plus for the stars.
