This fall was a rollercoaster for our schedule, that translated to a rollercoaster of emotions!
Leah, lets start with your volleyball. Your 8th grade Rockvale Varsity team had high expectations this season after you got 2nd place in the JV tourney last year. But the journey you girls took us on will make memories for a lifetime!
Starting the season with wins against tough rivals Oakland and Eagleville, you girls went undefeated in district play, earning the #1 seed for the final tournament. Then, you went full steam ahead all the way through the finals to beat Stewarts Creek in the Championship. You played some of your best volleyball in your 3 tournament games, which earned you All-District Tournament honors.

Well done, ladies! Season recap video here!
Logan, not only did Fall '24 mark your first full season with Pool 1, but it's also the first year Kings Hammer implemented the Academy program. So on top of your already intense State League, your squad would be playing teams throughout the entire Southeast. The results didn't yield any medals, but you all finished in the top of the standings chart against several Atlanta teams and were 1 win away from going to the NPL national tournament. This NPL experience has elevated both your individual play and your teamwork, so I'm grateful you're getting this opportunity.
Final Dad thoughts: Rutherford County sports are no joke! Whether in your travel leagues or your middle school teams, you are facing top-notch competition every time you go compete. And I'm proud of each of you because you've embraced your sport and put in the time and dedication to elevate both your skills and leadership--those are skills that will serve you well (no volleyball pun intended) your entire life. Keep grinding! Keep pushing!! and I'll continue to be your biggest fan!
Love,
Dad
