Bearden and Farragut in State Finals

Bearden and Farragut have a clear path to the state tournament and maybe the state finals. Chesney is clearly the best player to ever play at Bearden, and maybe in the state. If they will get out of her way she will lead her supporting cast a long way.

 

Farragut is the gold standard.

 

Should be fun

Wouldn't it be fun if the Bearden coach let his superstar play all six positions so the two best players in Knoxville could go against each other for all six rotations. That is where his inexperience got Bearden beat in districts. He is too timid to unleash his super star.

Apparently, Farragut is not quite the gold standard you thought. Bearden is home early too.

Why would anyone assume that their small area rules? There is a reason Barbara Campbell has won so many championships and it has little to do with club "coaches" who have no idea of how to win decade after decade. Quit drinking the koolaid k2ruth and be around the game for 20 years before you tell everyone who is the greatest of all time.

You know, I watched a little of Bearden and Franklin and I really didn't see anyone I thought to be a superstar. It is amusing to see all the propaganda put out by club originated posts and then see how it pans out at state. There are good and bad coaches in both club and high school. And it takes six players to make a team. Superstar or not, one player can't win if she doesn't have a little help. Just some club coach justifying her coaching fee but a ridiculous remark.

Since I must plead ignorance to this, I have a question about Brentwood.  I am not trying to take anything away from their program and their amazing history, but what percentage of their players play club volleyball?  Maybe pitting club vs. HS and vice versa is the wrong way to see things.  Quite possibly it is a combination of all the opportunities our kids have that make them the people/players that they are.  They can be taught at the club level and the high school level.  As I have said before, I have seen bad and good coaches at both the club and high school level.  Neither has a monopoly on that!  Congratulations to all of the State winners and all the teams that made it there.  An accomplishment for all.

Most play club ball, but not all. Their best player last year, Jenny Roy did not as she was also a basketball star and now plays hoops for Belmont. I am 99% sure their outstanding libero this year did not play club last year and I think even the year before that. I also don't think their DS played club last year. But again, most of their girls do play club. Brentwood is a destination program right now whether they are moving in or getting grandfathered in. There is an amazing amount of talent in the freshman class. They are going to be real good for a while longer.

Agreed.  I know 3 families who are looking to move into the Brentwood district because of the school and the volleyball program.  All of the girls in those families are outstanding players for their respected clubs.  They are current middle school players looking to get in the system.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
