  1. Very strong center mids! Not sure they field 11 quality players though.
  2. Sycamore and Nolensville are very, very good and they couldn’t play more differently. Nolensville is a tactical/possession-oriented team. Sycamore is an athletic, fast-paced/countering team. I’m thinking Nolensville in a close one (3-2). CM will have no problem dismantling Fairview. CM wins big. White House is so, so young. I know nothing about MLK but do know White House lost big to Hume Fogg, so I’m thinking MLK by a few (5-2). Heritage is tough and haven’t lost since late August. I know nothing about Hume-Fogg either. Purely based on scorelines, I’m going Heritage on their home field. This would match-up CM with Nolensville. Nolensville wins a close one (2-1). The winner of this game should advance to state. Heritage and MLK: For the same reasons above, Heritage. Heritage v. CM/Nolensville loser= based on bias, I think heritage to make their first state tourney. *what a tough section to get out of. The two teams who advance are extremely deserving and will make noise in the state tournament.
  3. Thanks for the update. Looks like Nolensville the I’ll have a date with sycamore in first round of regions. That game will be a doozy. Sycamore has an extremely strong team this year.
  4. Wow! Good luck to you all. Should be a fun regional with Hume Fogg, MLK, and the two White House teams.
  5. Nolensville is ranked #1 in the Eurosport AA state poll. They are an incredibly talented team. It’s sad to see them go so early. I had no clue it ended in penalties (good insight). Credit to Coach Clapp and the Page girls. One could argue this district has five of the top ten teams in the state in it. Tullahoma, Spring Hill, and Nolensville seem to be the unfortunate casualties of the brutal nature of the district. Saw where MLK won tonight. Any word on the Hume Fogg game or who they played?
  6. Unfortunately, everyone immediately jumps to talking about the coach here. Why? Because reprimanding the coach is more "exciting" than talking about the kid, herself. It should be noted Molly Smith is an incredible kid who works hard no matter the score. I had the opportunity to see her losing 8-0 working her tail off for her team. She is heads above the rest of her team, but, instead of running to another school like most kids do, she is content in working with the teammates she has and stays positive despite the scoreline. Much, much respect for her! I am not defending the coach, nor do I think it was the right decision to leave her in this long in a game well in-hand; however, some times the "bright side" of the story needs to be relayed. We seem to be all too negative on sites such as these.
  7. I hear Merroll Hyde is very strong this year. Might want to watch out for them in single A.
  8. AA: the favorite on paper has to be Greeneville. Nolensville’s team should be very good (huge credit to Coach Shelton). Never count Page out. Beech leaving AA helps some underdogs, although they lost a lot from last year (tough sledding for those ladies this year in a brutal district). District 9 has posted the last two state champions (mad shoutout to Felzien and Ferguson). Calling a Greeneville or Middle TN champ this year.
  9. So it seems the first part of your discussion pivots on districts 9-12. Here are my thoughts on those for post-season predictions: District 9: White House, WH-Heritage, and Beech are the frontrunners. Macon Co. has a puncher's chance as well. They have enough attack to be dangerous. Two quality teams will get out of this district. There seems to be a vital importance to win this district to avoid Hume-Fogg in the region semi-finals. District 10: Hume-Fogg is the clear and convincing frontrunner. MLK looks to be a clear leader for 2nd place. District 11: Wow!!! Possibly the deepest district in AA history. So tough! Page is so solid all over the field, Giles Co plays extremely hard and has enough talent to be dangerous, Nolensville has a talented Freshman class mixed with some girls who have a lot of high school playing experience, and Central has an outside chance, too (very well-coached team and sound defensively). My prediction is Nolensville and Page (either of which would be a frontrunner to win the state tournament). Whoever wins this district deserves the highest of kudos. District 12: Sycamore and Fairview will come out of this district. Sycamore has a solid attack that can be dangerous. Unfortunately, Sycamore will be playing in an extremely tough region semi-finals game, even if they win their district. The nature of the beast. With all this mid-state commentary aside, Knox Catholic is loaded. At this point in the year, they would have to be the favorites to win the whole thing. *Reiterating Playerscoach: a few injuries can turn all this stuff on its head. Good luck to all!
  10. I think it's a good match-up between the two sides. USN has a Center back (#5) that is very solid. #10 is also a special player that seemed to have an off day against WHH. Crafty Center mid nonetheless. Up top, I didn't see much; however, they did score 4 goals on Beech so maybe it was an off day for the entire side. In my opinion, from what I saw, USN may be deeper, but DCA definitely has the top end talent.
  11. This is exactly the game both teams needed early on in the year. DCA finished their opportunities nicely and Heritage was a bit lackluster in the final third and woke up much too late in the game. Such an enjoyable game though and both teams got better by the game's end. Your daughter is an extremely special talent and will keep DCA competitive in many games this year. Teams like CPA, ECS, and USN might not want to sleep on DCA. Between 19, 10, and 6, their offense will keep any defense honest. Keep me updated on how y'all do this year. Best of luck!
  12. They did have some quality players: #5 in the back was a very talented center back and #10 in the midfield was crafty as well. 4-0 may have been a bit of an inflated score line. The game was 0-0 at half and Heritage came out for the 2nd half with a completely different mindset. Looking forward to witnessing a great game Tuesday. I think both teams are going to get better by playing each other.
  13. Hendersonville- 2 White House- 2 USN- 0 WH-Heritage- 4 *Both very positive results for the White House teams.
  14. Sounds like you all will give Sycamore and WHH all they want. Should be some exciting games. Good luck on your season!
