State Tournament Observations

Now that it is over, here is what we know. Not what is said by 90 % of these posters.

 

Brentwood is THE best volleyball school in Tennessee, any doubt? And Brentwood plays in the toughest Region by far.

 

The second best AA team was Goodpasture, and they were in A!

 

They need to put private school back into a SINGLE CLASSIFICATION. not enough talent to give two trophys. The small school privates are as bad as JV. No offense to Webb, they were decent, but 4 of the 6 teams couldn't line up.

 

The tournament needs to be at one location. Playing at high schools is a joke. Lets change locations.

 

Coaching makes a difference. Brentwood, Ravenswood, Sullivan South, Hume Fogg, Baylor, Webb and Goodpasture are well coached and the coaches impact the game. Other threads on here have mentioned or questioned lack of coaching or energy by some of the coaches, CAK in particular. They were 100% accurate. CAK had more size than either Brentwood or Ravenwood but zero energy. He didn't do anything. At state the coach has to be the emotional leader, they have to get the team up, keep them up, and help them up when they get down. If anything he weighted them down.

 

Finally, get your girls in CLUB. It will help your team. The reason Brentwood and Ravenwood and Goodpasture are good is because our entire team plays club.

I agree on combing the privates into one division. It is too small, and is one reason we have to play at the high schools at state. Or you could pull out all the privates and put them in the pool.

 

I also agree on club. KVA holds tryouts this Friday. It will be exciting.

Coach Foster is coaching and is one of the leaders of KVA. Because of the wedding I'm not going to coach club this year. I wouldn't say advocating. K2 is an established club, but it is expensive, and still some bad blood between some folks. PR seems to be having alot of defections. KVA is new, which is scary, I just saw the flyer before I posted and thought I would mention it.

 

Big Blue, which would you pick?

    • 1A favorite has to be Greenfield. They bring back their best two players.  The rest of West TN 1A is down. Humboldt, Middleton, Memphis Middle College may be the next best teams. Middle TN 1A will be interesting - a lot of good teams. Only two of McEwen, Wayne Co, Richland, Moore Co, Eagleville will make the state tournament. McEwen has probably the best player in 1A (though you could make an argument for Shields at Unaka).  Wayne Co is down a little but still competitive. Richland is really good.  Pickett and Van Buren will be really good. Clarkrange could upset one of them. Way east looks like North Greene and Unaka with Cloudland definitely capable of knocking one of them off  
    • The 2A east is gonna come down to between Marion Co. and Tyner. Hope to see those schools play each other and in my opinion East Nashville should dominate 2A west but at the same time I think MASE will be in the mix too 
    • Blackman got absolutely cheated when they’re went to bowling green, everyone in the state knows that the biggest con of traveling out of state is dealing with the officials, also classification in one state is almost never the same in another state, one state can go off purely enrollment and one state over can go off talent so that’s one also
    • Idk about this one Chief 😬 
    • Harley, I just looked your schedule and your predicted to go 9-1 in the regular season. Thats pretty good. The loss would come from Fulton if it happens that way the predictions say.  Meigs is predicted to go 8-2 by comparison.  Predictions are what they are etc. Meant for fun.
