I agree with you devotedvbfan, except I know personally that, at least for Hume-Fogg, they did not underestimate Sullivan South coming into the tournament. we had heard about them and knew they would be a great team. Just wasn't their day when it came time for championship and Sullivan outplayed HFA. was the closest match out of any of the championship matches that day I believe. You are definitely right about Sullivan's heart though. I still can't believe that comeback against CAK. was a great tournament.

how many seniors are on sullivan south? I think #9 was a senior but not sure. HFA keeps two of their good hitters but loses #10 (best hitter) and libero and a middle blocker, but has decent replacement and still good middle hitter, outside hitter, and setter. I know CAK keeps some good players including big girl. 

Yes, #9 Riley Milhorn is a senior as are South's 2 middles, one right side and one setter so they certainly lose a lot this year and as you know Riley is a special player who will be missed greatly.    Of course, they lost a lot from last year's team that finished 3rd in AAA - two starting middles, one outside, right side, and libero and that turned out OK   :) .  And they lost a lot from the team the year before that that finished 4th in AAA (middle, setter, libero).    So hopefully the beat goes on.    As for next year several girls return who played huge roles on this years team and there is some younger talent on the bench and coming up through the ranks that will hopefully develop as it has in years past.    Seeing the players mature and improve is what makes it fun!   Who knows maybe we will see you again next year!

Congratulations to SS and HF. They played great and deserved to be in the finals. I read a lot of chatter on here and was expecting much more from CAK. They were talented, and BIG, but were uninspired. Their coach looked like he was scared, and was extremely unemotional. SS and HF were exciting and competitive. Playing the tall player on the right was odd. We just went away from her. 9 from South was amazing. I watched the 5 game match with CAK and SS out coached CAK, and she got the team fired up and made changes that helped her team, in contrast the CAK bench was quiet and made no adjustments.

 

We should be good next year, and so should HF. Great job SS!

Congratulations to ALL of the teams that made it to the state tournament.  What a treat for all of the players and the coaches to be in the Murf.  Savor and make the most of it, because you never know if you will have another shot at it again.  Sullivan South had a great year and they certainly deserve their win.  Way to go Hume Fogg, super year for those girls and their coach.  CAK might not have met some expectations, but they were certainly in the mix for winning the whole thing.  When we look at the whole year, not a bad place to finish compared to most teams who were home a long time ago.  Parents, players, and coaches, always keep things in perspective.  Volleyball is a great sport but more than that; a fun game to play.  Keep spiken em till next season.  Can't wait!

    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
