so it looks like HHS take the regular season.. can someone who understands how the tourny work give me the bracket.. i know how the first round works, but ive never been sure which seed plays which in the second round. And where is the years tourny at?

To be honest i think gallatin has gotten past the region once, maybe twice. I dont see what that has to do with a Hendersonville / Brentwood game however. No one expects gallatin to be a top contender every year. They do not have the feeder programs like the hendersovilles and etc. Every once in a while they have a special group that makes a little noise, but other than that they are always behind HHS in the district. Most certainly a down year this year, but i no longer live in the area so i dont get to see as many on the Mid Tn teams. However, i have seen HHS and gallatin as well as most of the top east TN teams and by far HHS is not a state contender.

not overrated.. just not up to par. period. but i wouldn't call either of the teams that played tonight state champ contenders. BHS 2 HHS 1

Word is that the standout kicker for 5-5A Gallatin high has commited to play ball with the vols after a invite to the weekend's orange/white game. Another college kicker out of the mid state area, pretty impressive.

Not true. Gallatin is just young, very young in the back. The back 4 and goalie are all in their first year as starters and have little experience. Bearden looked good, the are all fast and i only saw a few mis touches. Big #3 looked good against the tiny Gallatin defenders, i'd like to see him battle a more experienced bigger back line. Gallatin is down, and probably out of place up here with the top east tn teams, hope to see more games and some improvement. Best of luck to all.

The kid from MBA was the State Championship game MVP.. and The Ingham kid got Region 5-5A MOst valuable Specialist of the the year and was picked 1st team all county the other day..

I dont understand how the Mr. Football Kicker of the year title can go to this kid from Polk County. Hammonds was 5-8 on field goals 36-39 extra points .. and quoted by his coach to "sometimes get it to the endzone" on kickoffs. How offend is sometimes..Can he not do it everytime?... and he didnt kick any to the endzone in the ALLSTAR game and missed Fields goals from 20yrds in...Mr. Football titles in the past have gone the best in the state with real stats... colleges stats.. but this here is a joke. Congrats to Mike Hammonds but him recieving the award is a joke. Recently the All-Midstate Teams where listed in the Tennessean Newspaper the kicker listed for the 1st team midstate, Chase Matthewson*. His stats where listed in the paper with a picture. The news paper wrongly reported that he made vaguely 10 field goals, 36- 39 pats, and had a long of 54 yrd. field goal, and best of all the paper reported that he was an incredible 32-34 kickoffs for touchback.. Ha ha thats so for from true 32-34 would put him in the 90% range for kickoffs for touchbacks and his long was on a 46yrd field goal.. but on his school football website the wilson central page it list all the team stats including his, he was truly 32-65 kickoff attempts to the endzone. so he wasnt even really 50% on the year.. and congrats he made 10 field goals but he was 10-19.. the hot stuff right there.. but again congrats to him on the false information given there fore recieving the award. but again thats a joke. The 2nd Team kicker and even the Third Team Kickers were obviously the dominant kickers of the midstate and the state. The 2nd Team Kicker Andrew Flecher* of MBA and Sophomore had a brillient season..He was the reason his team won the state championships 12-0 he was 4-4 on the field goals. That was huge and congrats to him.. he was consistantly kicking off to the endzone at 2/3 everygame.. he missed maybe 2 extra points on the year. and as a sophomore his long for the season was a 49yrd field goal. WOW! hands down already better than the kid who won first team. The Third Team Kicker Ethan Ingham from Gallatin Senior, Stats are listed and 20-22 extra points, 9-14 field goals long of 47 and most impressively he was 36-39 kickoffs for touchbacks. He was also listed as the Pre Season ALL State, therefore meaning he put up big numbers last year to as a junior. Now these kickers right here seem to be obviously the best in the midstate and more dominant than thes award winners.. theres Other kickers and punters in the state.. such as Kase Whitehead, Mo Mo Stweart. WhiteHead is already committed to Marshall.. and Stweart is going to Vandy to play baseball.. these kids all have impressive stats... but where is there recognitions?.. I think this all apparent, that the facts are given and award recipents were wrongly chosen.. clearly..

recently the two Ingham boys have been standout kickers in the region if not across the state. If i remember right the older one holds the fg record and is playing college ball. The younger boy had a solid senior year and will probably be playing on saturdays.

Gallatin does NOT lose to h-ville. Great game, saw a little bit of the Gallatin Pride out of the boys tonight, let keep that going! I know all the guys talking big about hhs are probably young guys and its great to see the excitement they have for their school... but man its gotta sting this morning... 34-13 who is crying now?

practice is practice... but if thats so, tell the head coach to put the boy in as soon as Gallatin crosses the 45 yd line. If I remember right the older Ingham holds the school record with 57ydr and is playing college ball now. Give the younger guy a chance coach!

Ethan Ingham from Gallatin. Long of 47yd to date. nearly 100% for touchbacks... and im talking through the uprights type touchbacks

obliverated...??? you most certianly are a HHS product

The Ingham kid has looked good. Outside of that blocked put for a TD, which the blocking looked questionable at best. Soild on field goals and extra points, not to mention the SEC worthy kickoffs. I'd say Lassiter was atleast one weapon he should take better advantage of. The Sweat kid on defense is also note worthy. The game that boy had a hillwood was incredible. While it looked like the rest of the D was running in concrete he was all over the backfield and hillwood has tons of speed from what i saw. The only thing that i see as a possibilty is to put Boo at reciever and let the Matthews boy run QB. Boo is a stellar athlete, but in terms of reading the D and making the best decision its hit and miss. Put the ball in his hands often, but dont let him be the only thing the other teams have to defend. If he is out wide they have to respect that which would open other things up. The little bit i've seen the Matthews boy he looked solid and should only get better.

Anyone have any pre-tourny all district players in mind. Any MVPs, etc. I haven't seen enough competition to make any real suggestions, but its always fun to hear what others have in mind.

agreed

I agree, there has been a dilution of talent in recent year. I was apart of the TN United original combo with fever and quest. But those effects have not really started to show just yet. Yes talent may be a little bit better spread out, but by no means had an entire flop of the standing taken place. I just don't want to hear the perinial winners say its b/c they lost a special player or whatever, maybe you just were not the better team this year and yes perhaps there is a changing of the tides. I am not going after any hhs fans/parents/players...if i remember Mjhub brought this up. Im just saying i've been around Sumner Co. high school, as well as select ball and have seen how the policits work. I will not stand for any such excuse that some one comes up with. Last year it was a 1-1 tie that won the district reg. season, this year it was all ready a lock and the Wave came out 2-1. There is respect to be given there, reguardless of how ones own team may have faired.. thats an impressive showing no matter the team, district, state.

predictions on the games listed above? how do you determine who plays who in second round?

eurosportscordboard has the district standings as follows 1 Gallatin (5-0-1) 2 Wilson Central (3-2-1) 3 Hendersonville (3-3-0) 4 LaVergne (2-1-3) 5 Beech (1-2-2) 6 Mt Juliet (1-4-1) 7 Smyrna (1-4-0) that would give us W.C. v Smyrna, Hville v Mt Juliet, LaVergne v Beech i don't know if this is right...but that just how its posted

oh how terrible it is to be loaded with talent year in and year out. They have had a feeder system second to none since the early 80's and every year a new crew of experinced and talented players who have been together since they were 8. It sounds like an excuse, but think about just how much you have in the first place. Give any of the other district teams to have that kind of support and they take it in a heartbeat. Im not saying the players missing are not talented and perhaps important, but don't tell me that one or two guys were the excuse for not being your usual.

Gallatin beat HHS tonight 2-1. That ends the reason with no losses in the district, only tie againt LHS. Can't wait to see how everything shakes out for the seeding in the tourny. Should be a great tourny to watch, nothing is for certain in any match

Gallatin 2 H'ville 1 final

In a game the other night all 3 refs had ties to a school. One ref has had 2 children go to the school and both played soccer, boy and girl. The other ref had 2 boys who played, and the last ref's son is on the team as now. I know we may not have enough refs as it is, but you can't tell me there should ever be a game where all 3 refs are tied to the school like that. It was a district game too

Gallatin 11-2-2 Combined W-L-T record of Opponents: 116-74-36 Goals Scored: 36 - Goals Allowed: 10 H'ville 9-4-1 Combined W-L-T record of Opponents: 88-63-28 Goals Scored: 31 - Goals Allowed: 16 They may not be any pressure, but don't for one second think that either team will come out thinking less of the other. Let the numbers say what they will, but Gallatin's D is just as solid if not better with 9 shut-outs compared to Hville's 4. It should be a classic, only wish i could see it.

I've seen this too. Im not going to call out a certain school, but not only have i seen refs that graduated from that school officate the game, these guys played for the same coach while they were in high school. Also, ive seen a ref whose son played and that ref was officating games in a tourny which his son's team was playing in. He was the center in one game, then the AR in the next. Not only should this not be allowed, but the ref himself should have the dignity to remove himself from calling any game which he has any affliation.
