Middle School Volleyball Tournaments 2011

Recommended Posts

Tennessees Middle School's tryouts for the upcoming Volleyball Season usually is the week after Middle School is out for the 2010 school year. For those Middle School players and Coaches, it is the official start of preparing for the 2011 School Year Season. Check with the MSTSSAA Rules for those schools who join the organization for the 2011 season. It spells out dead periods and practice times for the new season.

As with other years, there are some Very large Tournaments throughout the State during the upcoming season. While dates have not been published for the upcoming year, those of note that were had last year were at Karns and Cumberland University in Lebanon, both having a large number of schools attending. There are others in the State that likely were as large as those two. Preseason Tournaments are generally held the first part of August. Clinics are held by Universities and Colleges thru the State as well as some other schools after the dead period in July.

The enrollment in age groups 12 and 13 in summer Volleyball Programs was high this year meaning upcoming play for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders with be high again this year with the continued interest in the sport.

Those having an interest should check with your school to see when tryouts are scheduled.

Both karns and Riverdale high School have very large Middle school tournaments as well as Franklin high School Maury County High school and Battle Ground High School. All of these are quality Tournaments. these are just some ideas of where these events are happening and are only a few of the events that have happened.

    • So you are looking at one tough stretch for an 18 year old?  Seems you are grasping at straws if you think there is much difference between the two.  By the way Taylor was the best running back in the history of McKenzie and he is in the top 10 in 4 career statistical categories in the state.  If you can tell me Mckenzie had a back like that the last two years that took pressure off Surber I might could agree.  We can agree to disagree
    • 2022 McKenzie team had the most talent they’ve ever had at McKenzie.
    • I overlooked Gibson County. They would be team No. 11 for me. I'm going to edit my list, just behind Livingston Academy (which had four state titles, six runner-up seasons and 20 state appearances).
    • A little history on Gibson County. 11 Final Fours. 10 seasons AP ranked number 1 at end of regular season, 3 years undefeated at end of regular season, 1 year undefeated winning Gold Ball, 4 Gold Balls and 1 Runner Up with 3 Gold Balls coming when there was only 3 classifications, 1 Silver Ball when there was only 3 classifications, 1 Gold Ball when there was 4 classifications. 2020 was Covid year and was still playing in Final Four when cancelled. Been to state 18 times. Pretty good resume. 3 or 4 times when they weren't consolidated. Yorkville, Rutherford and Dyer have some history. Yorkville was Runner Up one year. 
    • No, they wouldn't have lmao they would've lost to Fayetteville. Surber is the more prototypical QB, I get it. But Cassidy possessed a clutch gene Surber doesn't. Against Fayetteville McKenzie got the ball down 17-18 with about 2:30 left on their own 18 or 19. Cassidy marches them all the way down to their own for a lollipop fg to win. Cassidy was 3 of 4 for about 45-50 yards and had a 20+ yard run. If I'm not mistaking, Taylor didn't get a touch on that drive.  On the other hand, leading 34-18 starting the 4th quarter with 2nd down and goal on MASE's 5 or so that drive ends in an Interception. Long story, short 2 more ints followed as well as a snap over the head of the punter and McKenzie loses. I want to say they mustered 3-4 first downs in the quarter. These things are not the same. You can argue 2022 was better than 2024 and I agree but the level of comp played wasn't anywhere close. 2022's road to a Championship was much tougher and 2024 McKenzie cruised until they didn't.
