So every player that plays on CAK, Webb, and Catholic reside in West Knoxville??? How many students go to Bearden and Farragut? What I'm saying is that our public schools in Williamson Co. (Brentwood, Ravenwood, Franklin, Independence, Centennial and Page) are each much smaller than the public schools in West Knoxville. If we concentrated the talent into two or three large schools with a couple of private schools in the mix, which area then would you believe is stronger?

No question here, unbeaten MBA from Middle TN and unbeaten CBHS from West TN. MBA will win the D-II title.

If you think that West Knoxville is a good soccer hub, you need to take a look at Williamson County! Brentwood, Ravenwood, BGA, Franklin, Independence, Centennial (and players in MBA, FRA and Father Ryan) in a county that is nowhere near as big as Knox County (I believe Knox is 3rd largest in TN v. Williamson is 14th largest ). Per capita, I would argue that there is a concentration of talent in Williamson Co. It's a shame that we have so many schools in a much smaller area to divide the talent pool. (We pick each other off the top 25 list).

I agree with this post about Chad Roberts. I've watched IHS and their defense seems to be pretty strong. With Chad being a sophomore and the other central defender only a freshman - the defense plays very mature against the tough competition that I've seen them face. It speaks highly for the whole defensive line, but definitely for the leaders in the middle.

3 Freshmen at Independence have been playing very well, Nick Dykes at the back, Blake Farmer playing center midfield and Joe Gaines striking.
