Chattanooga volleyball preview. This is much more complete than the Free-Press preview, which was basically a big story about GPS and a big picture of Givens (who is deserving of the recognition).

Chattanoogan.com came out with recognition of their top VB Teams and players and Coaches today. Toppint the list was Coach Paul Brocks GPS School which brought back this year an impressive group of players. Jasmine Brown, H.s. All American and 2 year All State, Heather Parma All State, Whitney Hamond All State, Megan Givens All State and Dana Myatt lead GPS. Red Bank,s Coach Christel Helton leads a team that has been acclaimed to have the top player in Chattanooga this year in Christine Teeter and Melany Gibson. Ooltewah is led by Coach Elaine Peigen and a young team which is expected to mature quickly along with the upper classman at the "O". East Ridge's Great Catherine Neeley brings Takeida Parham to the list with a team of players that have some potential. The rest of the list is Cleveland high, Notre Dame, Baylor, Walker Valley and Boyd Buchanon.

Making a wild prediction but I bet Red Bank will top the Chatt area Vball poll next week...................

78, Teter must be the real deal. One of the Brocks , and I am not sure which,, posted two weeks or more ago that she is the best player in Chattanooga this year. Looking at her stats, her kills were good but the setters had to dominate the game also. The match stats said to this poster that Bank controlled the match and did not let GPS get started, very unusual for a Paul Brock coached team who had huge credentials also. The inside of the arena must have had a lot of disbelief spread all over it.

I haven't seen her play in-person in about a year but I've heard she has improved. The Lawson girl has a strong vball background and much like her older sister has a very good all-around game. I felt from earlly on that this could be a great year for RB. Finnally, RB has a great coaching tradition and it appears Helton has stepped in and may be able to keep it going.

I am very familiar with the red bank team and I agree that they will be the team to beat. Christina is the real deal. She has been playing under Paul Brock's 18U club team since she was a soph. I have watched her progression and she has worked hard. It doesn't hurt that she has Courtney Lawson to feed her the ball. I have coached Courtney for 2 years and she is one of those players that can do it all, and do it well. Helton's daughter on the front row adds more height and skill. With a couple other role players, they will be hard to beat. Coming from someone who has been watching and coaching most of the current Chattanooga players, I would say you'll be hearing a lot more about Red Bank this year.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
