I am all in for Nolansville, and I agree about the East with the exception of Anderson County.  I have watched them for years, they play in a lot of tournaments I ref in or watch my nieces and they are always a tough out.  The other East teams have a good year or two, but Maryville or HV could not have made it out of Districts here.

2015 (GOODPASTURE when they were Single A) was the last time that a team lost on day one, played 3 games on day two to advance to the finals, then won it all. Will Nolensville have the legs to do it today? South Greene did it today in A!

No So Greene won their first match against Halls

Summertown defeated Hume Fogg maybe they should have been in 2A - just who gets hot at right time 

Yes and its crazy the whole double elimination thing...EXCEPT in the finals. WIth both teams with one loss in tourney shouldn't they play again? I *think* they do in softball?

Had that discussion w Jim Thompson ( coach T ) his thoughts were everyone knows the rules - but I agree either single elimination ( or one and done ) or true double elimination

I had that discussion with some people as well. Even though Hume-Fogg won, I would agree that teams like Hume-Fogg and South Greene should have to win twice in these situations. Also, I thought it was interesting that Summertown would have been the favorite in AA too. I do know that sometime during the Nolensville invitational (or right after) Hume-Fogg setter got injured and was out the entire district and region tournament. Didn't come back until the sectional against White House Heritage.

One bad game can drop you into losers bracket but a bad game in finals and it’s over / again not fair but for now guess that’s the way the cookie crumbles

Guess what? Contrary to all the expert opinions of the last couple of months, A team from East Tennessee, won in Single A. Fair and square, according the the rules that each team agreed to by virtue of their participation.

Instead of giving even a little bit of credit to an amazing comeback by South Greene, SG fans are lectured about "fairness."

Sounds like loser talk.

    • The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent. 
    • Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented? 
    • I understand I guess it depends on the school you are with and the time you want to put in.  It’s evident of the schools that don’t put in as much times.  I would say basketball players put in as much time as any sport in our school system and this is coming from a football town.  Bball is a longer season than other sports.
