FRA has Van Eyes going to Loyola and Premo going to Belmont

psh i dont know what your talking bout with FRA, starting our JV next year. were the shizzzzz

you name two people from district 9 A/AA but you leave out Van Eyes from FRA...

Do you pay attention to the district at all? Apparetly not. FRA beat HF earlier in the year, yeah. Thats the main reason why FRA was above HF on the standings. The only team you beat that FRA lost to was DL. You also lost to CPA 2-0.. FRA lost to them 1-0 in the final seconds. That basically means nothing though, the losses are just neutral. FRA's schedule was harder than HF. FRA finished the district as the 3rd seed.. not the 5th i might as well predict the final as HF will never beat CPA CPA 3 HF 1

im pretty sure he meant FRA beat HF, as did CPA

we played them preseason and won 4-1. As for remembering how they play, the were and always have been really strong in the air. They are also really good at winning 50/50 balls in the air or on the ground, very athletic team. Thats about all i can remember though

CPA 3-0

Lipscomb beat FRA for a couple reasons. FRA was up 1-0 at the half, but Lipscomb got some late 1st half chances that turned the momentum. Second half they tied it early, then they had control because they were playing their style of play. Last 20 minutes, FRA took dominant control and DL keeper stepped up big, making 2 upper ninety saves and 2 free kicks that would have gone in if his wingspan was about 2 inches smaller. They got the ball past midfield once or twice in thos last 20 minutes, and it was a fast break where the defense of FRA wasnt ready and the foward beat the keeper. Refs then ended the game after that shot so it was a 2-1 game

id like to see some opinions on which teams from Middle TN will be heading to the state tournament this year, i have a feeling both top teams from Region 5 District 9 are going to be in teh state tournament(this could be either CPA, HF, FRA and maybe DL if they play their game)

You make some good points, though i disagree with you. FRA had the more difficult side of the bracket. As for having fatigue playing a factor, yes it did. While Indy was up 6-0 at half against both antioch and fairview, FRA had close games at half and were keeping in there starters longer, knowing that if they put in some reserves the tide of the game could very well switch and the other team get quick goals. All 3 of the teams FRA played had a offensive threat up front, and they could all move the ball (except Dickson, really the only reason that game was close was outstanding play from the keeper), so if you think about it Indy's varsity played probably a 2 games of soccer and FRA played 3. Even though that wasnt why FRA lost the game, it was somewhat of a factor. The reason Independance beat FRA is because both teams play the same type of game, and Independence was just better at it. School size really does not have that much of an impact on the game. Edit: As for FRA being underated, i believe they should be 2 or 3 spots higher on the rankings, but their not that underrated. The real teams that are underrated are the lower seeds in FRA's District. Teams like DCA(beat Franklin) Goodpasture(Tied CPA) Ezell Harding was a great side before their breakdown after the tie with FRA, i mean even Lipscomb, a team that hasnt been great in the past, they beat FRA and had other close games against higher ranked teams
