Congrats Brentwood...Houston made it interesting and we could likely see these two at it again tomorrow!

I hope we see them again tomorrow.  As long as the Brentwood's right side continues to get kills like they have, that puts a lot of pressure on the Houston coach to move the double team off of the left side that will open up big time hits for Shaye.

I love Houston's coach.  I think she is one of the best 4-5 in the state.  She does an incredible job.  Give me Maryville, Goodpasture, Houston as 3 of the best at the state tournament.   Cookeville's coach has also really built something special, which is not easy to do in cookeville.

Rockstar - should be a good match. Kudos to Siegel for winning 3 losers bracket matches yesterday to play in today’s final match.

TSSAA had a rough day yesterday at Siegel and the conflict they should have foreseen played out.  At the 12:00 Noon match, Cookeville fans were shocked to see the Siegel student body let out of school for the day.  The word I hear was that Siegel (total enrollment - 1,758) has around 1,100 students on-site with the balance off-campus in distance learning.  The Cookeville contingent saw students coming in entrances from the school side of the gym which were previously  blocked off. Those students filtered into the gym w/o having bought tickets and passing through the fan check-in. Now I’m sure some group of students would attend as intended by administration and many more had no idea Siegel had a Vball team but TSSAA’s social distancing plan for player and fan safety became a moot point once the students filled the bleachers on that side of the gym. Maybe TSSAA was caught off-guard by the school’s decision - how would any outsiders know? It should not affect today’s AAA championship at 4:00 pm as school will be out by that time anyway.  Presumably, TSSAA is managing the ticket release as the championships for all public school classifications are at Siegel today and some fans will watch one or more matches especially the State’s marquis top class.

Regarding the match, the unapproved website which provides HS information has the following info on previous matches this year and rankings which are totally subjective (especially the National rankings in such an atypical COVID year) and I suppose are computer-based somehow.  Take it with a grain of salt as Brentwood deserves to be here by virtue of their season-long play and Siegel by virtue of losing their 1st tournament match and winning their way back to this point.

BHS: Overall: 37-3 / Tourney: 3-0 (9-1 in sets) 
State Rank: 1  /  National Rank: 3

SHS: Overall: 34-7 / Tourney: 4-1 (13-8 in sets) State Rank: 5  /  National Rank: 52

8/20 BHS W 3-1 (25-21, 25-19, 20-25, 25-8)

9/12 BHS W 2-1 (24-26, 25-19, 25-12)          

9/19 BHS W 2-0 (25-19, 25-19)                       

9/23 SHS W 3-2 (25-21, 21-25, 24-26, 25-18, 15-9)

The best of 3 match results were weekend tournament play and best of 5 were regular season home and away matches

A Brentwood fan told me one of their losses came with 3 starters out due to COVID contact-tracing but those players had just returned the night before the Siegel loss from missing 2 weeks of practice and competitive play.

Brentwood defeated Siegel in the 2018 AAA State Championship match.  Should be a good one to watch.

 

The fact Siegel is hosting this opposed to Blackman is a disgrace.  That being said, the Lady Bruins will be ready to whip Siegel in front on their entire student body, their mommas, their dads, their grandma's, their boyfriends, and God himself.  Siegel gave Brentwood bulletin board material early this week and the girls are very aware.  They will be ready.

Agree, the Siegel playing location on Championship day was a non-factor.  Crowd size was managed appropriately and not many folks held over from previous matches to watch.  Parking was actually better than at MTSU due to Rutherford Co schools partial distance learning. Another season wrapped up.

    • 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.
