McMinn Central had a very large crowd at the game...lots of students supporting their team.

Region 2 District 4 Final CAK 7 Kingson/Roane Co. 0

So, what's up with the Knoxville News Sentinel not covering this game? Is there a bigger soccer match in Knoxville this week? Would a game between two quality teams like these be covered in the local Chattanooga or Nashville media?

CAK 4 Harriman 0 CAK played possession of the ball and did not drive to score with starters after the first goal. While not really good soccer to watch, it was good sportsmanship by Coach Estus and CAK.

Sorry G...I missed the final CAK goal...5-2 .

Well, it is over in a lot of ways...last game for Cal... sweet and bitter sweet at the same time! I'll have to say that FRA was a hand full. Very skilled team and well coached. They have a real weapon with the throw-ins in their space. One of my daughters had the chance to speak with the FRA coach at a restaurant after the game and he was very complimentary of the CAK girls team. Great sportsmanship she thought. Coach Pifer has brought the CAK girls program a long way from our freshman year. Good coaching is an amazing thing. We got to see two really well coached teams today. It was nice to come out with the win, but anyone that loves soccer would have loved that game. G - I'm sure we'll find something to talk about...how about those Warriors in the Spring?

G, don't know if you heard this but Tessa Piety was injured last night...a knee. She left the stadium with a large wrap around her knee and really looked discouraged. Too bad...she's a great young player. I haven't heard the extent of the injury, but since she used to play for you, I thought you'd like to know.

For the record, G doesn't coach the CAK varsity girls. I saw this game and freshman/JV played half of period 1 and all but about 10 minutes of period 2. It appeared to me the Loudon players were not really interested in being on the field. Loudon actually took down the sideline canopy with 20 minues to play in the game. For most of the second half, CAK just moved the ball up and down the field between the 18s and worked on playing the ball back to the keeper. To me, that was more humiliating to Loudon than simply playing the game. Since such lop-sided games are possible in district play, why not end the game early - like a mercy rule that exists in baseball and softball? I'm not really sure why you would ask a freshman that will only get into a few games to avoid trying to score. It would seem better just to stop the game.

CAK will lose 4 seniors. Three started this year. The fourth senior came off the bench.

My Picks: Quarter-Finals CCS vs. CAK - CAK USJ vs. CPA - CPA JCS vs. ND - ND Catholic vs. FRA - FRA Semi's CAK vs. CPA - CAK ND vs. FRA - ND Final CAK vs. ND - CAK I guess DonC and I see the tournament similarly, but I hope I'm right in the final! /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> As defending contest champion, don't I get a few extra points added to my score? Wasn't that something we decided last year? /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Any update on the Madison - JCS game?
