There is a huge difference in A to AAA and its hard to include everyone...but to Jay's point Summertown has won over 40 matches each season in the last 2 or 3 including wins over very good bigger schools - and even played decently against Nolensville and Brentwood the last couple of years. They aren't a typical single A team. That said, Summertown is "out of the way" and being a small town so far away is just not gonna get the attention in mainstream media even with the success. Alot of local sports writers are lazy when it comes to "minor" sports too and instead of searching out things, they just print what is handed to them. Alot of it lands on coaches and ADs as well. I have asked writers why they don't report on certain things and they say they have reached out to coaches and AD's with no response. So there's a lot that goes into these things. Well said my point exactly / no disrespect to you teeter but we did get girls nominated in golf and tennis after they won State Tournaments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree but i wasn't asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jneal Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 Eagleville should be good again they have Audrey Tribble one of best setters in mid-state she had over 1,000 assists last season. Along with Katelynn Roberts, Meah Thompson, Bella Bain and others should win district again but Watertown who Eagleville beat in sectional last two seasons is in Class AA now. Central Magnet is in their district as they have Noella Obi a Mississippi State commit so, watch for the Tigers to attempt to make back-to back state tournaments under Dusty Stearns. Eagleville will play Riverdale, Blackman Rockvale and Lincoln County. The final two at home as they both went 5 sets last season. Eagleville lost at Rockvale and won at Lincoln County. In Fayetteville, they were down 2-0 before coming back and at Rockvale they were up 2-0 before the Rockets came back to win the Eagles second match of the season. Rockvale at Eagleville September 18th and Lincoln County at Eagleville September 25th both begin at 6 PM. the LC match will be Senior Night and will be emotional for them. Deanna Freise is outstanding coach and under-rated in Rutherford County as she looks to take Eagleville to third straight state tournament in 2023.

Rockstar89 Posted July 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Eagleville has always been decent. They played Summertown close last year really early in the season, and won the games they should have won. Especially with all the restructuring I could see them returning to state. Lots of good teams from last year in single A are restructuring. There are several teams with multiple starters who have moved on or are not available this year. I still look for several teams to field squads with the potential to reach the state tournament. Summertown, Loretto, South Greene, CSAS, Sale Creek, Eagleville, Harpeth, Camden, Gordonsville, Hickman County, East Robertson... all have a shot to be playing in the Boro come October. Next weekend there is a good small school play day at Creek Wood. With Creek Wood & Summertown (both defending state champs) as well as Harpeth, Camden, Sycamore (who were a sectional win away from state last year.) among other good teams.

Last year Harpeth hosted one of the sites and you guys came to us. This year I was told Creek Wood is hosting a site and Summertown, Creekwood, Camden, Sycamore and a couple others were playing at the Creek Wood site. They have a big nice gym. I hope that is the case...will be some good competition early if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a schedule and looks like these teams will compete at Creek Wood in Dickson on Saturday: Creek Wood (AA state champs), Summertown (single A state champs), Harpeth, Camden & Sycamore (all three lost in sectionals last year-one game away from state in A/AA) along with Cheatham County, Hickman County and Lawson, which is the new AA public school in Bellevue. I know there have been some losses at each school from last year, but at least 5 of the teams there should be good small school competition. Looking forward to a new season of volleyball!

Jaychapman Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 Hope all stay injury free and take it for what it is a learning experience - Summertown looked terrible last year at both play days but won STATE - it’ll be interesting who steps up later in the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
