New Volleyball Elite 8 (8/27)

Here is the new poll after a Week 1 full of action:

1. TCA (3-0) – The Lady Lions beat three Class AA teams in the opening week of the season. Last week: No. 2

2. USJ (2-1) – The Lady Bruins split a pair of region games and beat Scotts Hill in Week 1. Last week: No. 3

3. South Side (7-2) – The Lady Hawks played nine matches in the first week and suffered just two losses with one coming to a Division II-A team out of Nashville. Last week: No. 5

4. Madison (5-2) – The Lady Mustangs are off to a hot start after reaching the semifinal round of the FHU Tournament. Last week: No. 6

5. Chester County (4-1) – The Eaglettes have not played up to their potential in the early. Key is that the season is young, and there is plenty of time for improvement. Last week: No. 1

6. Crockett County (4-6) – The Lady Cavaliers went and played in a tough tournament at Smyrna over the weekend and went 1-5, but the tougher competition should only make the team better. Last week: No. 5

7. Lexington (6-3) – The Lady Tigers were a double-edged sword this week. They played great during the week, starting 6-0. But then they got the FHU Tournament and went 0-3. Last week: No. 8

8. South Gibson (4-3) – The Lady Hornets made program history in reaching the semifinals of the FHU Tournament. Two of the three losses so far are against a tough Dyersburg team. Last week: Unranked

Fell out: Milan (4-6)
