Primrose

I would bet that although divided between more schools, the population by which to choose is still larger in the Boro schools...dont know that for sure, but I believer their schools are larger.......??

I really do not know!! Have so wondered the same for several years now.........no one agrees all the time with coaching decisions, but for the most part in the district, I do not think that is it........there are many talented coaches in all areas of the state but why that district doesnt compete the same on a regular basis I do not know....... I do know that Tullahoma has had many district titles over the years, proceeded most years to regionals, and has been to the state several times..........most years committment is there and good leadership too... ????????????

I know for a fact that Tullahoma and Shelbyville have had most of their starting players being club players that played club for many years, traveling to Murfreesboro, Nashville, Brentwood, Harpeth,etc. Last years teams in both communities, for example, the vast majority had played club/select for many years and with quality teams. So, it isnt just the select, although I know it helps tremendously......... so, that particular theory at this particular time I dont believe holds complete water......as stated, it definately makes a difference but parents in both of those communities spend countless hours and dollars traveling to Nashville two or three times a week for practice, tournaments all over the area, for many years, and then some.......... so????.......not sure the biggest factor for the past few years is club??????????? Other factors must make difference... I have wondered the same...........

dont even see why anyone would get mad either or care.........I have always been a proponent for not saying negative things about these kids on this venue because that is exactly what they are and they often read CoachT and I would never want to hurt a childs feelings.............let me just say a team does not need a player that doesnt want to be there and very few players are as expendable as they like to think they are............when one leaves there is always another to take their place......again, most of the time, unless very exceptional.........and often when one takes their place, they are even more valuable than the one that left.......... so, no biggy as far as I can see and Shelbyville have their own players that bring to their team so no biggy to them either , as far as I can see .............

where will that be played?

why would Buchanan going from Tullahoma to Shelbyville make anyone nervous?

Who won the Tullahoma/Lincoln Co game and when does Tullahoma play again and where...assuming they won??????????

p.s. sorry, I was replying to DelTavian(not sure I quoted that name correctly), not CoachT....that posting got in before mine so I am not a fan of MrNoitall...I must say, he did tone it down some from when he first started. I think it is because he was most offensive and called on it a few times... knowledgeable..yes............. tacky.......yes........... uncalled for statements ..........absolutely!!!

I agree...who cares about the identification of such an arrogant adult. I have said this before...if he wants to predict and debate, that is fine. However, he trys to be funny and cute and to me it most often comes across as hurtful to the young girls and to communities. We all love our towns, regardless of what others feel. Most communities have great people in them and it just takes a few, like MrNoitall, to make you want to crawl under a rock from embarrassment......so if he is a coach I hope he rethinks some of his ways...and if he is a teacher I hope he takes a grammer refresher course..... so, on to the sport ................good luck to all the remaining girls..........and to all athletes, good health.

wow...I absolutely have no dog in this fight and do not even live nearby....HOWEVER, I have to comment....We are grown people with presumably children old enough to read this.....How childish can you get???? The athletes read these posts.The website is designed to have healthy conversations and feedback from other interested parents, coaches, refs, etc. regarding your sport of choice. Not to bash young people that have little to no control over the fairness, or not, of choosing awards teams... Never, but never, is it acceptable to bash teenage athletes for all to read....They read this stuff, even when they shouldnt...It is hurtful, degrading and absolutely uncalled for....What in the world are we teaching our youth???? Can this young lady control she was voted MVP? So, she and loved ones read what they think will be interaction regarding their loved sport, just to see GROWN people bash them...unbelievable.... Grow up....these are children you post and bash on here...It is bad enough to yell at games to diminish these young peoples hard work and accomplishments, but you put it in black and white for them to read... Your children, by watching your disgusting example, will not benefit from this...in fact, their children will probably be as bad of sports as you are.. what a shame....what a shame....... How would you feel if your child were treated in this manner...??? Please do not bash young ladies on here......Teach your children well

Without going into specifics,obviously, what kind of drama causes these not playing well problems? Is it because girls not getting along, a boyfriend, jealousy??? what kind of drama would cause this with the team??

sounds as if you are more offended that his bias is Tullahoma rather than just the fact he is actually biased...

you missed the point...has little to do with grammer..that is just something to work on while you are posting the same error over and over.... most to do with tacky, and uncalled for, remarks when making your point. You can make it without making fun of others, their towns and boasting about your team of choice to the point of obnoxiousness...it makes other teams and communities resent the winning team even more, because some feel everyone is as arrogant as noitall..anyway,............. and to piddlepaddle...you read because you are truly interested in the kids and how they are doing...should not have to simply not read a post on the page, to avoid tacky remarks from grown people ... sense of humor should not be confused with trying to be cute ....... i am finished trying to make my point for adults to act like adults on here......just hate for the kids to see some of the remarks.....kids learn by our example and some on here perpetuate the unkind rivalry that exists between communities. good luck to all the athletes in each community....

you are not from Tullahoma....thank goodness! if you are not trying to hurt anyone, then re-read some of your smart-aleck comments and refrain from making them...again, you can state an opinion, and that is exactly what CoachT is all about, but there is no need to be such a smarty pants and degrading to any community or member on this message board....the team you feel that is the losing team, get it by now....the one you feel will win, get it by now.. as with every message I have ever posted, I will remind you....the girls read this! Show them how adults interact, even when they may disagree....Please

Please read my comment in two other locations, apologizing for Noitall...do not know if you are right in your theory or not, but............ However, there is no reason to say on the board meant to discuss athletics, that you "hate" an entire community. We all have feelings, about a few, in every single community, but to "hate" entire towns is hurtful to the kids that read this....and hurtful to those that try to be upstanding and demonstrate good sportsmanship...thank you.

The following is posted also under another topic. I felt it was appropriate to repeat. To those of you in surrounding communities of Tullahoma, I apologize for the likes of Noitall...we all have one.............sorry! Noitall, I agree with MustangSally regarding "wont"...check your grammer, or have someone else do so, before you post... More importantly, you are embarrassing your community and yourself. If you believe your community team is tops then great...state it once and go on.....you are the reason people from neighboring communities feel the way they do about Tullahoma, in all sports....all communities have a "noitall" and they are as humiliated when they begin this junk, as I am.... as pointed out to you previously, pitchers can get hurt, teams can get in a slump...things can happen...state who you favor and why, then move on...boasting is never attractive.. and always, but always, remember....the girls read this and find this rhetoric childish....it embarrasses them...

I am unsure if columbia actually played "conservatively" but they did play with way too many dangerous slidetackles, etc.

I dont comment on here often but when I do it normally is to stress to people their comments are unneccessary or even rude and the example it sets for these girls...or, most importantly to remember the girls and how these sites and comments truly affect them... which is the reason for this comment...Yes, high school girls know exactly where to go to find polls, comments, pictures, rankings, etc.. They follow it closely, they know how to look up Eurosport polls and everything that has to do with high school soccer..and it does matter to them!!! They keep up with it all season long!!!!! I cant speak to the people that makes the polls but I can assure you the girls find it, read it , keep up with these postings and CARE...

mjuhb, I have always wondered where and when you played soccer?? Where did you learn about soccer and have the info to make such comments and lists that you do?? Your experience comes from ...???? where?? just curious, thanks in advance...

just curious...do you travel all over the state and watch all involved in order to make the predictions?? how do you come to these decisions? have never understood how these predictions and rankings of players are made if not actually viewed all and everyone???

please, please dont name these girls on here like that... simply a player for the so and so team is sufficient....

I agree with letting coaches decide, even though I am the first to admit we are not all ever going to agree ..We all bring our bias and feelings into play...was my point several days ago..some blatant bias making "lists" by some, but..........please all remember our teenage girls read all of what is on Coach T and take a lot of it to heart, regardless of how parents remind them not to pay attention to what is written. But when adults point out things, that could be left unsaid...it hurts them....like "lists"..and someone is "good but not great"....When they read adults blaming refs for losing games rather than taking responsibility?? We all have seen poorly called games and think "what in the world!!" but teams win and lose games ultimately....dont they? Why would we say, I know but I am not gonna tell about who made district as in the above comment???..... My goodness, adults... I have read for years the comments on here and never joined in...I have had my daughter run into the room year after year saying, did you read what inaccurate information that was said this time on Coach T ??? or how can I be ranked lower than so and so ...i know we cannot keep the girls in a bubble , I understand lists and such, are a lesson in life but if you must, know your stuff!! Or just leave it to those that do!! Or think about your child and feelings..if you dont have one in the mix, think how they would feel if you did...or better yet, how you felt as a 16,17,18yr.old kid...(and look up a word if you do not know how to spell it)... Our daughters think we are a bunch of overgrown babies when they read some of this ..... Think about what you want them to learn and take from this before you write...intelligent banter about what constitutes a hand ball for example, is one thing...the rest of your smart aleck comments and judgement on teenagers and to each other, is just not necessary.. Now, I have said most of what I have wanted to say for several years.. Heres to many more years of a great sport to all of you and happy, well-adjusted and hopefully injury free soccer girls!!!
