HAHAHAHA Portland knew what they were doing in playing that game in that weather! Not the greatest memory for me either, You may have forgotten, but I was coaching football then and locked one of our players in the locker room at halftime! Coach J never lets me forget that one.

Great Post, Pitbull! Proud to call you a fellow Seymour Alumni, Good Luck to both teams tomorrow night, Go Lady Eagles Be careful of the standing water on the sidelines! 20-something years ago, Seymour played Sevier County in Football in a monsoon and our all-state kick returner was tackled on the sidelines where the water was several inches deep, he was under water and in danger of drowning before the ref stepped in and unstacked the players. True story! Bet you don't remember that one do you pitbull? Probably a little before your time.

The girls are struggling with his system, and he fired his assistant coach last week! So things are looking bleak, But as you said it is early and we haven't played any district games yet. SoccerReigns09 are you a seymour alumni?

Five losses and no wins so far. Loses to Catholic, Maryville, Webb (twice) and Halls. The closest score was against maryville 2-0. Word is they look unorganized and out of shape.

?????????????????????

Both or split depending on how the interviews go. Having done extensive research on successful programs in the knoxville area, I believe Seymour is looking for a coach with the first name Tom!

The position was posted until the 25th and several people have applied. Interviews are being held next week.

Coach Norwood resigned both boys and girls head coaching positions at Seymour to take girls position at Sevier County High School. Link below has some interesting information about the change.

[quote name='AlcoasPaintedBridge' date='May 16 2009 - 09:04 PM' post='827102345' My problem with this episode today is that this coach simply picked the wrong time and place to send his message. Tell the press you played your best, give the other team credit, wish them well and shut up. Statements like this put him in a bad light when he could have addressed this issue at another time and place. When does a soccer coach from Pigeon Forge, TN ever have a podium or arena to state his beliefs other than a time like this. He has used the attention the past three seasons to make the same statement, it is the only time he is able to get the message in the media. Don't bash him for stating what he believes. Is this Miss California and perez hilton of Alcoa (if so it may explain Akula's hair) /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />

Cogratulations Alcoa and Coach Gorman! Good Luck at State!

Congratulations to CAK and to Carter, Sounds like a great game. Congrats to Carter on the season they had this year, Coach Chunn has done a great job with those guys. I Look forward to Cak vs Alcoa???

Congratulations to Alcoa! Great Job! Keep it going, I would love to see Akula vs BigG in the state finals.

Congrats to alcoa!!! Does any one have scores or details?

The voting was very close for several of the superlatives, and the players in the running were all deserving of the honor! I must say our process cannot be questioned as we use the selection method introduced by BigG himself when CAK was part of the district /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Seriously, G did introduce the method we use and I think it works well, the main thing is to get the kids as much recognition as possible, because they deserve it.

CAK has been here often, very often, This is only the second time Carter has advanced to region in the past 6 years. I think the momentum and experience favors CAk. Carter has the best player in the state and if he gets rolling it could go their way. Hate to pick against my own district member but I think CAK will take this one. Good Luck to both teams.

Wow, I am getting old if you have been out of school nine years already! Let me say that I respect you as our most faithful supporter on these boards and an intelligent and thoughtful representative of Seymour. After calming down I know you would not attack a kid on these boards. Your point is well stated and true, individuals must realize the consequences of their actions, not just on themselves but the team as well. You pointed out what should be learned from the event that proved to be the turning point of the game. My frustration with a lot of things concerning Seymour Soccer may have been inappropriately directed at you and I apologize. As you may know I am more involved with the players than I am with the team these days. (if that make sense) I hurt for these boys in how the season has unfolded, knowing that these seniors are a very tight group, work very hard and would NEVER quit, I really appreciate them. I have known some of these boys for a long time as my daughter is a senior as well, matter of fact I was not at the game tonight to be at an event with her. So I did not see what happened but having had to drag this kid off the field in previous seasons I know how things can go. I had just finished talking to some of the boys and I know they were disappointed, but they did not throw anyone under the bus. From what I understand at some point after the game, on their own, away from the coaches, the players got together in a show of unity and support for one another and to emphasize that even though there season is over that they share victory and defeat together as a TEAM. I too am passionate about this team was moved by the solidarity of the players. Your post struck me the wrong way at a time of high emotion and led to that response. Let us put this behind us and move on. Again I say good luck to Alcoa, Carter and Gibbs. Whoever shall emerge from the district, I wish the best of luck in Region play.

JC you need step back and realize these are teenagers and they do not always make reasoned and reasonable decisions and sometimes actions pop out before the brain process starts. Does calling out a high school kid in this manner help in anyway. This young man just played his last high school soccer match! Do you think makin the statement above is going to change anything that happened tonight? NO! Is it going to help in anyway? NO! These are not professional athletes these are kids! someones son. This boy has parents that have worried and cried with him over issues with soccer. He is not an unthinking sadist who goes out on the field to cause mayhem and to heck with his team. Tonight as Seymour's players and coaches think about the game, who do you think is hurting the most. I know it is this young man. Maybe we adults need to realize what we are doing and saying on these boards a little more. I am not defending the action, just upset with a grown man 6 or 7 years removed from high school calling out a 17 year old kid this way!!!!!!!!!!

Alcoa 6 Seymour 1 1-0 Alcoa in the first half and Seymour was competing and getting opportunities, one of the kids loses his head and gets a straight red. We could not hang with Alcoa shorthanded. Not an excuse the outcome may not have been different, but we certainly could not keep up 11 on 10. Congratulations Alcoa and Coach Gorman! Good Luck to Gibbs, Carter and Alcoa, After 6 years of frustration I would love to see one of "our guys" make it out of the region. I think this could be the year.

Cosby D W 7-0 South Doyle W 2-0 Austin-East D W 6-0 Jefferson Co.

Seymour's nonconference schedule was also tougher than Carter's.

Do you have a score on the AE-Grace game? Grace is much improved from Earlier in the season having all their players finally playing at the same time. I believe Alcoa will win but it may be closer than many people think.

Cosby at Seymour is 7:30 How was the outcome of the Fulton-Harriman game? We see Fulton is moving on?

Was that constructive?
