I agree totally. Chattanooga has way too many small private schools to have competitive public schools.
Many of these small schools often will have two or three very talented players that could compete at any level in the state, but do not have the depth surrounding them to be very good. If there were less of these small schools, often with enrollments less than 400 students, then you surely see a rise in competitve A/AA as well as AAA soccer in the area. I believe East Ridge should also be thrown into the above statement simply because we tend to become a stronger team as the season progresses. all in all i can honestly say that i do not see any Chattanooga area teams, making a legitimate run into the AAA post season.
