Sounds like you need to change your screen name to Eagles fan. Some Mustang fan you are. Great support. 

As big a Mustang fan as you’ll ever be. Realism is not a bad thing. Seen it too many times. She’s good. Really good. And I have no doubt that she could’ve taken Loretto teams from the past and run through Summertown and the rest of the state. Want Loretto to win any time they play, but have seen enough to know she’s taken less talented teams and beat us more than a few times. He did make a change for the better the other night so maybe he’s learning. Still think we should be running a 5-1 instead of a 6-2. Have some situational rotations that cause concern.

I guess that's why you aren't the Coach. Coach Kelly and Coach Quillen are both great coaches and if you were as big of a Loretto fan as you claim, you would support the Coaches you have and celebrate the success they bring. Kudos to him and his sister for the success they have brought to the program. Can't wait to see the continued success in the future years! Good luck tomorrow night Lady Mustangs!

Memphis Middle College has forfeit their sectional match with Milan so they will go to State by default. 

Has happened several times with the far west teams. Meanwhile, a couple of really good teams will sit at home :-(

Exactly. I don't know what the fix is, but something needs to change. 

We have the same conversation every year it seems. The west teams are so weak and get to state and lose their two games quickly, while others that could compete sit at home because a couple of the Regions are stacked. That's kinda luck of the draw and understand it... but the thing that is hard to understand is that I know of at least two other times where a single A west team (that wasn't great) got an automatic berth in the state tournament without playing a game. That should not be the case. Don't know what this fix is either.

Harpeth gets to state for the first time since 2019 by defeating Summertown 3-1. If my stats are correct Summertown has only missed state twice in the last 15 years.

Loretto no problem with Camden. 

Big surprise that Eagleville will stay at home after a great season…got swept by East Robertson. 

No surprise with Sale Creek and South Greene getting the easy wins. 

CSAS return for the 2nd year in a row

Milan in with the forfeit and no result yet for the other west team

Every team fights through injuries at some point during the grind of the season. Eagleville’s battle just happened at tournament time.

Arguably their best two players were severely hobbled by ankle injuries heading into this week. Their Senior setter and Junior OS. I heard/read that they had an 8th grader, 2 freshmen, and a sophomore setter in their main rotation during the Region and sectional games.

I watched the East Rob stream and will say that East Rob played very well especially defensively. They earned their trip to Mirfreesboro.

Haha. Loretto had success in volleyball before they arrived. Realizing we’ve come up short when we shouldn’t have is not a bad thing. Loretto wins because their teams are super talented and hard working. Schematically, we’ve had issues. Again, giving him his due, the move to play Sophie more was a good one. She’s an upgrade at that spot. And I seen many years where we were the more talented team and lost. In those years it comes down to coaching and scheme and we got outperformed in those areas. Doesn’t make Nick a bad guy. And he’s young. Maybe he’s learned from it. 
I do hope they win it all. Ezell and Ally are exceptional. AK, Becca and Corbin are really good. Have some really good, talented players.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
