Preseason games have started to unfold. Are there any scores out there?

I think that was a pretty fair post there. At first glance. this district does seem to be broken up into two tiers. Riverdale, Siegel, and La Vergne should be the cream of the group. Breaking it down between these 3 teams is where it gets hard. All teams lost key players that were instrumental to each team's success. Regardless. I see this district shaping out as one of the most competitive districts in the state 1&2. Siegel or Riverdale (Both teams lost someone important. but are also returning plenty of experience in key positions) 3. La Vergne (I just feel like the loss of Guerra will have more of an effect to this team) 4. Blackman (Potential dark horse team. Even without Zeeck.I would not overlook this team) 5. Oakland (Too much youth this season. Still. Look for the forward McCollom to have a solid year. Very quick and knows how to finnish) 6. Smyrna (My lack of knowledge about any of their players leaves me no alternative but to put them at the bottom still does not mean that they couldnt make a run) With this said. It is not even January yet. So what i say now. Please do not hold it against me come may

great game by both teams tonight. but good thing you didnt say anything about that goal. It was a spectacular finnish. I think Siegels midfield is what really made the difference And the talk about district. I was one that put riverdale low. I take full accountability for my stupidity. I underestimated Ali. They are a great team

just looking ahead to the week. This is what we have been waiting to see. Huge District match ups this week. Siegel V LaVergne. Oakland V Riverdale. Siegel V Blackman. All of these seem like they will be great games to watch. Hopefully i will be able to catch them all. But lets start with Siegel V LaVergne. What are some predictions?

Siegel 6 Smyrna 1

You know facts. i think i will actually have to agree with you. While Oakland has played top teams like Father Ryan and PJII tonight. And siegel having an extremely tough schedule. It has seemed that Blackman's schedule has been particularly weak. But with that said. Vice is an accomplished coach. So i dont doubt anything he does

Ravenwood is completely out of the rankings? hmmm I see something a little wrong with that

I attended this game. Good, hard, physical game. Blackman failed to finnish some key chances that would have won the game for them. Still, Zeeke did not seem to be in that elite form i saw him in last year. If he can become that DOMINANT forward again, Blackman could be dangerous

TheFactsOnly Since you are dying for my legendary evaluation. i guess i can grant you your wish. Riverdale-Just like Armand does Everyyear. He has Riverdale into shape going strong into districts.With already one district win in the bag against Smyrna, and a 7-0 smashing of Colombia (Regardless if they are missing a top player. 7-0 is good outcome). Excited to see the Outcome of tomorrows match against La Vergne. La Vergne- Still have not seen the team in person, but scores do impress. WIth already 1 district win. I think tomorrows game against Riverdale will give a true evaluation of how good they are. Siegel- Although the record is lacking, i would still not overlook this team. 3 of their losses were against the top 10 teams in state. And their schedule does not get much better with the Knoxville Tournament this weekend. With all of this competition against top teams should have siegel primed and ready when district comes rolling around. Blackman and Oakland- I will do these two together because i am actually about to make my own trip to this game tonight. I expect an intriguing match up with Sanders in the back and Zeeck up top. I will make a claim again later on these teams. Smyrna- Do not know much about about them like La Vergne. 4-0 is a tough loss to start off districts. Hopefully they will be able to turn it around Your welcome TheFactsOnly

I would more say the reason why I think Riverdale is weak is not that they lost Compton. It is what you stated. Loss to Coffee County, 5-0 to Hendersonville. That shows for a concern. Still i think what Liverpool said is exactly correct. This district is still very much up for grabs. Whoever comes to play every game will most likely see themselves on top

so now the week in review. Blackman impressed me. I might not know how good Franklin County is. but regardless. 4-0 is a quality score Oakland won earlier this week. but have a tough tough game tonight against Father Ryan so i am curious to see how they do. Riverdale. They won a game early this week. but 0-3 against Centennial is a Tough loss. Siegel won 3-1 against Baylor which is a quality win against a quality opponent. Last night i think they lost 1-0 against a sure state bound team in Ravenwood. Which is still not a bad loss LaVergne lost to Centennial 4-0 and then Tied Clarksville 2-2. So early season struggle for LaVergne. But still against quality opponents. still would like to see them myself before i make my own claim on how good they are Smyrna tied Dickson County 1-1 so not a bad start for them I am still eager to see how all of these teams progress throughout the season

For one. Brentwood was last years state runner ups. and they are from 11AAA. so think you are a little confused on that. Also, If you are refering to Coach Shelton (Siegel's Coach) i might not know him to well, but he does seem a little young to be having a kid that is already in highschool.. so once again i dont quite follow what you are saying. And 3rd. Pretty sure i stated earlier, that I didnt think Riverdale would be good this year? So dont know where you are coming from again my friend. But thank you for entertaining me for you attempts

so are you going to have anything to back up what you say? i can see you putting Siegel as three, but have a reason to support your choice.(like a weakness you see in them, or the other teams that you think are stronger and why) and dont just put Siegel as third because you dont like them

in preseason games, when they dont mean anything to begin with. You see how good teams are by watching how they are competing with teams. Siegel beat brentwood 1 0 (#2 team in AAA in preseason poll) and tied father ryan (#2 team in All of Tennessee in the poll) I know they arent scoring, i said that. (if you would read what i say before trying to rip on me, you would have seen that) But atleast what they are doing is more impressive than losing 5 0 to hendersonville or ravenwood. And definately more impressive than losing to coffee county? THAT is why i said Siegel is impressing

Now that teams have played some. What are people thinking? From what the scores have shown, Riverdale and Oakland have been struggling. I went to the riverdale hendersonville game, and Hendersonville seemed in a different league Siegel has really impressed me with the scores they have posted. Nothing extravagent, but they are competeting well with the top teams in Tennessee according to the preseason poll, even beat brentwood. Still seems like they are struggling with scoring, as usual. I still need to get out to see a game to make a real claim on how good they are. How are other teams in district doing?
