Houston Haba- ETSU Ondra- Florida Gulf Coast University Lightfoot- Sewanee Van Cleave- Mississippi College CBHS Rawls- Union Acosta- Maryville Briarcrest Ballard- Christian Brothers University ECS Linn- School in Boston McNair- Merchant Marines White Station Bermel- Christian Brothers University Collierville- Hubbard- Howard University Just a couple I have heard

In the regional final they missed a PK with less than 5 minutes in the game with the score only 1-0. Houston scored in the closing minutes to put the game away.

Most of the good teams in the Memphis area. They also tied Father Ryan, I.m pretty sure during the season.

The game was pretty good for about 20 minutes. Then the forwards and the midfield for CBHS started turning the game in their favor. JP2 seemed to get real deflated after the second goal and it looked like CBHS was running downhill. They have so much quality depth. If you don't get on them early, there is a good chance they will wear you down and score in bunches in the second half.

Collierville has quite a few very good players. Corey Bonars and Jake Deering are both seniors at forward and they are very good and very fast. Ian Mackenzie, Kevin Hensley, Mac McAllister and most of their team play very good club ball. Their only real weakness is probably at keeper. He is not a club player, but he has played very well this season. Their only loses are to Briarcrest early, Houston (2). They can be very good.

Collierville is playing very well at this point in the season. They have pretty good depth and are solid at all positions. They might lack some speed on defense, but they keep their shape very well and communicate well. On offense, they are really starting to put things together. Hope it's a good game.

Sorry about overlooking those players. I wasn't able to see a few teams this year, Brighton being on of them. Sounds like they are both having great seasons and I'm glad you mentioned them to give them some recognition. There are a couple other teams I missed this year. Good luck in the regionals!!!

1st Team Kennetz- SBA Patchen- SBA Jimenez- CBHS Greer- CBHS Haba- Houston Lightfoot- Houston Ondra- Houston Ballard- BCHS Linn- ECS Bermel- White Station McCallister- Collierville #20- Kingsbury 2nd Team Gordon- Germantown Powell- Houston Dees- Houston Rawls- CBHS Acosta- CBHS Hensley- Collierville Felts- SBA Henke- MUS Pryor- MUS Buress- SG Sims- SG Thomas- Lausanne #10- Kingsbury All Freshmen Banks- CBHS Gagnon- ECS Cockerall- ECS Emmanuel- ECS Aeschliman- SBA Tucci- SBA Wagner- SBA Ballard- BCHS Vaughn- Central Argote- Arlington

Matt is a nice player and a really nice kid. I also think Eddie Argote, Will Vaughn, Zach Ballard and Ryan Aeschliman made a big impact on their teams this spring. None of them play for the local power houses, but they all played really well.

Impressive win. Tough draw for CBHS. Farragut at 11:00 and JPII at 4:00. Did JPII have an earlier game?

MUS tied Bearden today 1-1 Houston and siegel play at 1:00

I heard it was really bad timing. 5 minutes to go, with the game already decided and the bad language flies out. Unfortunate for Collierville. That forward is really fast and a real weapon for them. Luckily, Collierville is playing in the best of the west tournament this weekend, so the card won't affect district games,

The Briarcrest- Kingsbury game was a great game. Kingsbury score in the first ten minutes and the game was up and down the field for the rest of the game. Briarcrest got a red card with 25 minutes to go in the second half and still the game went back and forth. Both teams were really giving great effort. Most entertaining game I have seen all year. Collierville is talented, but word is some of their seniors are letting the team down (skipping school, red cards for language). I would probably go with Kingsbury right now.

I really just didn't know the rule and I know there are a lot of referees on the board and I was hoping for a little clarification. Honestly, there were a lot a fouls in the game and we never knew which way the foul was going to go for either team. The situation happened at the other end of the field, we didn't even realized what had happened until after the game, when the players told the parents.

Thanks, the game was 0-0 and the referee probably didn't want to decide the game with a potential PK.

I'm sorry, I stated it wrong. The player that received the ball was onside. He shot the ball and was fouled in the act. Another player, not part of the play was called offside and his offside position nullified the PK. Does that make a difference?

What do you think? I'm not a ref, just a parent and was wondering about a situation from a game this season. The ball is at the center mid's feet and he is moving towards the opponents goal. About 10 yards outside the box, he passes the all to his teammate running in from the right side. the onrushing player gathers the pass and takes two or three more strides moving towards the goal and in the penalty box. A defender hustle over and slide tackles the player as he is trying to shot. The shot went slowly forward with nothing on it and a PK is called on the foul. As the teams are moving around getting ready for the PK, the side ref tells the center ref that another player was offsides when the foul occurred. The center ref decided the offsides nullified the foul and thus the PK, giving the other team a free kick. I guess this is correct, but it sounds strange. Any thoughts?

Briarcrest- 0 ECS- 0

Thanks, Looks like CBHS sat a lot of their starters in the Science Hill game. Not a slight on SH, just a comment on CBHS's incredible depth. You can look up all the CBHS stats on their website. www.cbhs.org They have so many club players, it is hard for the most of the teams in the Memphis area to compete. The other teams can hang for a half, but CBHS will send in subs in waves and not lose much at all. The other teams eventually wear down. It is especially hard to compete with them at their home field. It is a sweet turf field and plays right into their speed and skill game.

Sorry, just going with scores I heard. Any word on the CBHS v Science Hill score? I figured it might be good for CBHS.

Yes CBHS won against Cleveland 3-0. I don't know any of the other teams scores. I have a friend whose son plays for CBHS and she relayed the score. CBHS has won their games, 2-0 against Darlington and 3-0 against Cleveland. Hopefully, they will get a good game tonight against Oak Ridge.
