  1. We will see how the Canadian kid in Cleveland does now that he is back from having Mono. In the McCaulie opening tournament he had 5 goals between the Signal Mountain and Baylor games. Then he got sick and has not played since. He will probably be weak in his first game but should come around soon.
  2. Cleveland 7 Signal Mountain 5 - Great game, wild finish
  3. Cleveland is a solid team that has some good players. They have lots of fast players that dropped soccer to play lacrosse. Two players (brothers) that have played for a long time in Canada. Two players (brothers) that played in Boston. A good solid defense and a decent goalie. However they had a rocky start to their season having to come back from 4-0 to Signal Mountain to win 7-5. Think they underestimated a team that they handled strongly last week at the McCalie jamboree. They play West Knox on the 10th for their first league game.
  4. Cleveland did not bad considering they had only 11 players and they got wacked by McCalie in the first game 8-0, second game was better but they still lost to Webb 3-0 in a game that really could have gone the other way if any of their shots actually hit the net. They beat Signal 6-1 and then tied Baylor 1-1. The Baylor coaches were not very happy with the breakdown that caused the tie. It should be an interesting series during the season for these two teams. They play each other twice and it could be a deciding factor later on.
  5. Don't be too surprised if Cleveland turns some peoples heads in Div II. They don't have a lot of players on the team but some of their players have lots of playing experience. This team only has one senior but they are soild all around.
  6. Most Canadian High Schools play U.S. rules anyway. They do this so that their players can get scouted to U.S. colleges. Canadian Universities do not offer much for their football players. Out in British Columbia they only have two Universities that even play football. One school plays American rules and the other plays Canadian. Each year when they play each other they play the home teams rules. Canadian football has a bigger field, bigger ball and more players. You can be down 47-0 with the 3-minute warning (instead of 2) and still win the qame. PASS, PASS, PASS thats what it is all about (or aboot depending on whos saying it, A!)
  7. Don't know who the players are, then maybe you should have gone to some of the freshmen team games. Those two players didn't start at Ooltewah but they would have for Central's JV team. What I'm saying is that there are kids going to Ooltewah instead of Central - PERIOD! Look at that Freshmen team from Ooltewah (which was very, very good) and ask yourself if they would have been that good without those players. Maybe they would or maybe they wouldn't, but I guess we will never know because people keep cheating the system. If you don't want to go to the public school you are zoned for - Then go to a private school.
  8. Name somebody that is "zoned" for Central and goes to Ooltewah and made a tremendous impact on the program.... Name one kid... Well how about all of those freshmen kids (including the twins) that live in "Hamilton on Hunter" that played for Hunter Middle. All of those kids should be playing for Central but have found "WAYS" to go to Ooltewah
  9. I have heard that up to 10 players were cut from the team last week. It also sounds like some of these boys were allowed back on the team. I'm all for a coaching staff with disipline but to what limit? Consistancy is good and this team has not had it at all this year. The team has been hit hard by injuries but the coaches change the backfield every other week regardless of who is injured. I have also noticed some questionable play calling that makes me wonder where the coaching staff feels the teams level of play is. The team is not as advanced as the coaches try to make them look. A lot of the team is relatively new to the sport and need good fundementals and basics drilled into them. Try winning with basics not flash!
