Any info available for district seeding?

District Seedings: 3 point system, head to head, 10 point system tie breaker

Final Seeding:

1. Tullahoma 11/37

2. Shelbyville 10/37

3. Franklin Co. 7/22

4. Columbia 6/20

5. Lincoln Co. 4/17

6. Lawrence Co 4/13

Sat games:

Franklin Co. (3) vs Lawrence Co (6) - winner will play Shelbyville (2) on Monday

Columbia (4) vs Lincoln Co. (5) - winner will play Tullahoma (1) on Monday

Not sure, but I think that the Franklin Co. game is at 6pm.

Shelbyville will host district semi & final games.

That's what I heard the score was. Wish I had been there to see it. One district game left- Tullahoma vs Lincoln Co. (rain chance 70% that night). Current standings are baesed on:

3 point system

Head to Head

10 point (for tie breaker)

1 Shelbyville 10 / 37

2 Tullahoma 8 / 28

3 Franklin Co. 7 / 22

4 Columbia 6 / 20

5 Lincoln Co. 4 / 16

6 Lawrence Co. 4 / 13

If there are 6 teams in the district, does the #1 & #2 team get a bye the first round of play-offs? Then would team 3 play team 6, and team 4 play team 5 for the first round? I assume the winners of those games would play against team 1 & 2 for the semi- finals (with #1 against the lower seeded team). Is this correct or am I out in left field?

Current District standings with 2 district games left to play:

1. Shelbyville

2. Tullahoma

3. Franklin Co.

4. Lincoln Co.

5. Lawrence Co.

6. Columbia

Franklin Co. 2 vs Tullahoma 2

Final score: Tullahoma-1 vs Lawrence Co-0

Tullahoma vs Lincoln Co. (rained out) rescheuled for Thur. Oct. 15th at 6pm in Tullahoma.

Any other district scores this week?

Yes I have faith in them for next year. Loosing just three senior starters. Need some key injuries to heal up for next year. They hung with a very good team and had very limited substitution options due to injuries. A healthy Blackman next year will be a team to be reckoned with.

 

 

*Vent Warning*

 

After reading the article on the game from the DNJ I've just got to get this out of my system. On the whole, the officiating was pretty good. It seemed that the questionable calls went about 50/50. Actually, there were two or three offsides against Siegel that probably weren't. However, the article mentions Blackman's last scoring opportunity. According to the reporter, the ball was deflected over the top of the goal. It was. Syd made a beautiful save with a fingertip deflection with what must have been a 30"+ vertical leap. You wanted to film it and show keepers how it is supposed to look. That said, the AR awarded a goal kick. Why? He had his back to the end line, head turned carrying on a conversation with a player and parents outside the fence. Would it have made a difference in the outcome, maybe not but who knows. There were two other instances where he awarded goal kicks where there should have been corner kicks. Rocket shots toward goal that went through a gaggle of Siegel players that suddenly shot straight up. Had it just been a bad call, blinked or sneezed or something, bad luck but no big deal. Thats what I put the first two off on. But to be focused on something other than the game DURING active play? BOTH teams deserve better. Not an inditement against all refs. I don't admit it much in public, but I have several friends that are refs. So before you blast me about complaining, or tell me if I want to fix the problem become a ref, start trying to clean up your own ranks. We want these youngsters to respect the game. Those officiating need to have the same commitment. There, I'm done.

I was not at this game, so my comments are not related to either team ot the Referees involved. I have not been very satisifed with the overall reffing throughout the season. I had hoped and thought that the Refs this season would call much tighter games to minimize the injuries to the players. This has not been the case. The calls were mostly good calls; but, way too many calls were left unmade- leading to several games getting way out of control. The best reffed game this year that I have watched was the Smyrna vs Tullahoma game. The refs simply did there job. No it was not perfect- but about as close as you can get. Thanks to all the refs who put forth the extra effort to get the job done right!!!!!!!!
