My family will be moving to the Nashville area. I have a son in middle school and two younger sons. Can you tell us where the best baseball middle schools are at in the area? High schools as well?

Are you looking for public or private? And are you looking at Davidson County or one of the surrounding counties? I’ve got some recommendations but it would be easier to be able to narrow it down some.

Preferably in the surrounding counties of Davidson, but doesn’t have to be.  Also we will be sending our kids to public.  Not against private at all but financially, looking at public. Thank you.

For public schools and baseball, Williamson or Rutherford counties are the ones I’d recommend. Especially Williamson. I can speak more to high schools, but you really can’t go wrong with Williamson. Williamson has Ravenwood, Centennial, Brentwood, Franklin and Independence who have all had recent baseball success. The best baseball option in Rutherford is probably Riverdale or Stewart’s Creek. A couple others in the surrounding counties are Hendersonville and Mt. Juliet.

I would say this ^^^^ is pretty solid advice.  Siegel is another Rutherford Co school with a good program.  You can view past state tourneys here for both public and private  https://tssaasports.com/history/results/?sport=baseball  (last year was the first year for the DI-4A classification for publics)

Mt. Juliet Middle has had a solid middle school baseball program over the past several years...won the Wilson co. tournament (several years in a row) and advanced to the TMSAA state tournament last year...finished 3rd.  They also feed in to the new Green Hill High School who just hired a new coach with lots of success at his previous school.  Just an alternative from Rutherford and Williamson.

This is for information purposes only and just some background...Williamson and Rutherford middle schools are going to be really competitive same with Wilson and Sumner. Example, Woodland Middle School in Brentwood which feeds into Ravenwood will have 150 kids try out for the middle school team.  Some that play decent to high level travel don't even make the team.  Just putting it out there that these are competitive tryouts and you are not guaranteed to make the team.

Man, yall through out all the AAAA schools.  Nothing wrong with any of them but they may not want to live in large populated areas.  Look for good schools and low crime.  And low tax rate.  Good Middle School teams are usually those that have the most 8th graders who are in puberty.

Middle school athletics and winning are about which teams have the most athletes that have the most hair on their body

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
