Can anyone give me a scouting report on East Hamilton?

 

Traditionally they are pretty tough. Their record isn’t great this year, but they have played a pretty stout schedule it looks like. I have not seen them play in person though. .

  1. Nolansville won’t drop a set unless their setter and defense let Fulton down.  She is the best player in the state AA.  It is her team and she knows how to win.  East Hamilton and Anderson County have size and athleticism but if the setter will keep getting the ball to Fulton, Nolansville won’t drop a set.  If the defense and other players don’t get her the ball it could be a different story.  She carries the team,  if she is off or if they don’t get her the ball Nolansville is beatable.  Fulton is a GREAT player but she can’t set herself or do it all, her teammates are going to have to step up and contribute.

Nolensville is far from a one trick pony. Rickert, Jenkins & Young can all hit the ball as well as Fulton. AA is fairly soft this year. If all of them had a bad night then there might be trouble For Nolensville, but they can beat most teams pretty easily with 2 of the 4 doing what they do.

Obviously there are some mom and dads on here.  Fulton is the key to Nolansville repeating.  She is heads and shoulders their best player.  If she doesn’t get the ball they are beatable.  Jenkins is ok, but not in the same league as Fulton.  The coach knows this and when they need a kill it goes to Fulton.  If the serve receive is not on and it disappears at times or the setter doesn’t get Fulton the ball enough they become beatable.  Their side of the bracket is weak even if they rest Fulton, they will Cruise to the semi finals.  My worry is if Fulton is not on, and they get stuck in a couple of rotations where FULTON is not on the front row, they don’t have anyone who can put the ball down.  Still, I think Fulton is strong enough to overcome weak games by her supporting cast and this is an easy repeat for Nolansville.

No need for Bratman’s comments to divide the team heading into tournament play. Last year, 2 underclassmen (OH Young and Libero Starcke) were named All-State so they were a talented group that helped Fulton win a State title. They should win again and hopefully she will contribute to this year’s tournament title.

Bratman must not attend many of their matches having misspelled the school and town’s name 5 times in his last 2 posts.

Nolensville would win state with or without her in my opinion.     They are a very solid and balanced team.    Love everything about them.  They would have probably finished second in 9AAA this year too.   I hope they win it again.    

Agreed. They would def. be final four in AAA and yes, vie for a championship slot against Brentwood. I guess we will be talking about that *NEXT* year :-)

    • We have 2 PG's that will be added to the lineup and another guard and all are athletic and can handle ball pressure. Gibson County beat Westview 4 times in 2024. Westview brought in a Miss Basketball Candidate from South Fulton last year and you want to say Gibson County has a mental hump against Westview. I tell you what you put her on Gibson County's squad and Westview would have had a mental hump. Here is a fact. They wouldn't have won it without her last year. Last I looked Gibson County has played with who we got on our campus. Let's see how Westview does this year with who they got on their campus. I do think they will be pretty good but I don't like shots being taken at my school especially from Westview. 
    • Smith County fans are delusional is they are wanting to get rid of Dyer. If they think they are supposed to be some powerhouse of a football program that wins 10+ games every year they need a reality check. Never have been that good of a football program and probably never will. It’s too hard for a small rural place to be consistently good every single year 
    • If you’re talking about when they lost to Corbin HS out of Kentucky(4A school in KY) in 2017, they lost by 1 point and Corbin went 14-2 that year in Kentucky so to say they got “taken behind the woodshed by a mediocre out of state team” is a bit of a stretch. You act like Alcoa never loses at all. They lose games every year, granted mostly to Maryville but other teams have beaten them in the regular season. Alcoa just turns into another animal in the playoffs. Winning is a learned skill and it’s an advantage that Alcoa has over everyone when the postseason rolls around  
    • Carthage is returning QB will be his 3rd years starting and a Jr.He should be coming around.A soph tailback that got a lot of exp as a freshman.Biggest problem is the line.They have a couple of good athletes that will make plays but the rest still remain to be seen.Size is not a problem.New OC will be interesting.He is known to be a trickster but a genius in some peoples mind.Coach Dyer better get the ball rolling.I'm hearing a lot of eyes will be on him this year.GO OWLS
    • If Alcoa keeps winning titles after moving to 4a it makes the whole state look weak.  Havent they won 10 in a row or something.  My god how can a team win 10 in a row, and the 1 time they went and played a kentucky 3a team they got there ace's beat.  Some redbone coonhound team handled business on them, but they can constantly win 3a in tennessee.  I remember at the time looking up that redbone coonhound team that beat them, and found out that team is made fun of across the state of kentucky cause they havent won a title in like close to 50 years.  Think i seen they are now in 4a in kentucky, and they never won a title in the last 40-50 years no matter if they are 2a, 3a, or 4a but somehow was able to take alcoa behind the woodshed in the midst of there title run about 5-8 ,years ago dont remember the year.  Point is it looks bad when a team gets there hind end whooped like a 3 legged rented mule to a mediocre out of state team the 1 time they play them, but can dominate the whole state in 3a for over a decade.  Someone has to start beating them.
